The Axarquia is a region of Malaga located in the east of the province. Its lands are like a little Malaga: forest, valley, cornise and coast.
It is a region full of contrasts. Snow-covered mountains of 2000m altitude and quiet Costa del Sol beaches.
A privileged region because of its climate, and because of its geography, with its villages located in the mountains keeping a Moorish flavour, with its winding and steep streets and its whitewashed walls that reflect the sunlight.
In the coast, the Axarquia is a landscape of cliffs and creeks, lookout towers, beaches and vegetable gardens, tradition and tourism.

In that coast, it is located Nerja, where the sea and the mountain meets, designing a coast landscape unique in the province of Malaga. It is a protected natural space as a Natural Site thanks to its singularity. These cliffs, very distorted in some stretchs because of the discordant presence of the N-340 road, keep a very important landscape quality. In the inland zone, Nerja offers us terrace streets and a cosmopolitan atmosphere where you can live the calm of a tourism paradise city.The visit to the Caves is unforgettable, christened like Cathedral of the Prehistory, and the no less well-known Balcony of Europe, a great viewpoint to the Mediterranean.

At 5 kilometres of Nerja, we find Frigiliana, in the south slope of the Natural Site of the Mountains of Tejeda and Almijara, and overshadowed by the ancient Arabic Fortress. It is has, without any doubt, the best preserved old quarter of the townamong the Axarquia villages, Premio Nacional de Embellecimiento , with its ancient quarters keeping intact its Moorish origin. A subtropical microclimate of the Mediterranean type with gentle winters and warm summers, together with its privileged geographic situation, contributes to that understanding between the natural and urban paradise, both of them have turned Frigiliana into a reality that offers some life conditions very hard to find in an European environment.
