It isn’t hard to imagine yourself in a total state of bliss when vacationing in this beautiful villa right at the foot of Torcal de Antequera. Wake up early with the sole purpose of watching the sunrise from the generous balcony before returning to bed with a cup of coffee and a good book. After a lazy morning you might have a delicious breakfast alfresco as you plan the day’s itinerary, or maybe you’ll just set off in search of adventure, finding it wherever the road takes you – the bakery a few minutes away is probably a good place to start. The heart of Málaga, and the beautiful coastline that goes along with it, can be explored by car and whilst you’re out, you may as well sample every tapas bar within sight until you’ve found your favourite. Back home, barbecue, swim, and sunbathe to your heart's content, sitting outside even as warm afternoons turn into balmy evenings. When you eventually retire inside, light a fire and grab a glass of fortified wine as you play a board game or watch a movie together as a family.

Local guide


About Antequera

Unlike the mountainous regions that characterise rural Spain, Antequera is formed mainly of plains interspersed with hills, fields and olive groves. At the heart of this area is the namesake city of Antequera. What it lacks in coastline, it makes up for in culture, boasting a mixture of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture among its narrow streets.
