Sightseeing

Beautiful little traditional villages can be discovered throughout the destination. To do something like this, a car rental is advised.

Please find below the selection we made for you:

Maro

Located just a 13-minute drive up the road from Nerja at the eastern end of the Costa del Sol is the village of Maro. Surrounded by sugar cane fields, Maro has kept its charm thanks to the Larios family’s reluctance to sell their estate to developers. 

Frigiliana

Often called the prettiest village in all of Spain, the white-washed Moorish village of Frigiliana is unspoilt by tourism despite having amazing views down the valley to the Mediterranean Sea. With narrow winding streets built centuries 

Júzcar

About two hours' drive inland from Malaga, you’ll find a whitewashed village with a difference. In the summer of 2011, Sony Pictures asked the tiny hamlet of Júzcar if they minded having the entire place painted blue as a publicity stunt to launch their film version of The Smurfs. The residents agreed, and eventually decided to leave the place blue. Every building, from private houses to the Town Hall, church and cemetery are still a vivid Smurf blue, and kids love the outsize murals on many of the walls. 

Mijas Pueblo

Tucked high on the side of a mountain not far from Malaga, Mijas Pueblo offers visitors stunning views that stretch all the way from Torremolinos to Gibraltar. Sometimes on a clear day, you can even see the outline of mountains across the sea in Morocco.
