Escuela La Crujia is set in the lush, tropical valley of Vélez-Málaga, just 10 minutes from the coast, surrounded by mandarin, avocado, lemon and mango groves. Because of its location, it benefits from a mini tropical microclimate which means warm temperatures and good weather for most of the year. It is set back from the hussle and bustle of the coast, in a rural and peaceful setting, and yet is easily accessible. The historic Moorish town of Vélez-Málaga is just 3km from the Escuela and has plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. Torre del Mar is the nearest coastal town, a real Spanish coastal town with plenty of life for all ages. The beach bars are a must in the summer! Nearby are Nerja, (20min) a pretty and popular holiday destination and the rocky coast of Maro beyond, with its secret coves and quiet beaches. Drive just 5 minutes inland and walk the shores of the magnificent Lake Viñuela, and there are many whitewashed villages and mountain trails to explore too.
