20 mins from the buzz of Costa del Sol and Torre del Mar brings you to the peace and spectacular scenery of traditional Spain where dazzling white-washed villages cling to the hillsides and the sights and scenery enchant year-round. Here lies the Axarquia region with a reputation for the best climate in Europe which, steeped in history, has much to offer for exploration and sense-of-place, from the plethora of traditional villages to the Nerja Caves' magical formations. Malaga has a beautiful historical centre - and excellent shopping - while Antequera and Granada are within exploring range. The beautiful drive from the coast brings you to Sierra Tejeda National Park and Canillas where potted flowers decorate the side-streets, mules and goats studiously ignore humanity and the village ladies practice their flamenco. Walk, paint, photograph, picnic, listen to cicadas, taste local wine, sample village specialities – or simply enjoy the tranquillity and comfort of Casa Convent
