This is one of the smallest villages in the Axarquia region. It has a population of about forty people and lies in a lovely valley setting at about 400 metres above sea level. Time has stood still here and to sit on one´s terrace in the evening listening to the goatherds directing their herds back to their pens is to savour the peace and tranquility of country life. However, a recently provided tarmacked road has made life easier for the inhabitants and the village a little more accessible. Four foreign families have already made their homes in the town which depends on the cultivation of the traditional groves of almond and olive trees as well as vineyards. A river runs down through this peaceful valley and the visitor finds it difficult to imagine that only a half hour by car takes you into another world; the friendly bustling coastal resort of Torre del Mar. Access to the village is from the main road north from Velez-Malaga, capital of the Axarquia. |
