Tio Vicente is situated 5km from the 'pueblo blanco' village of Colmenar, the capital of Axarquia close to the Montes de Malaga National Park with the hilltop village of Comares close by. The Picasso museum in Malaga is thirty minutes away with the beaches of the Costa del Sol similar distances whilst the Arabic town of Antequeres is half an hour to the north with Granada and the Alhambra a further hour away.
Day trips to the Puente de Piedra flamingo lakes, the Lobo Wolf park, the Donkey Sanctuary and the caves at Nerja are all within easy travelling distances whilst Cordoba and Seville are around two hours by car. Further afield, Gibraltar is around 2.5 hours away along with Huelva and Cadiz which are both worth a visit.
Alternatively, Ronda is an hour away with its bull ring and dramatic bridge over the gorge which can be combined with visits to the National Park at El Torcal to see the eagles flying over the clifftops combined with lunch or a day out at the El Chorro lakes.
