Los Curriches self catering accommodation is set in the beautiful Axarquia region of the Malaga province of Spain but is only 30 minutes from the coast.
Although the rental apartments are close to both Malaga and Granada airports, the Axarquia region is still an unspoilt region of the Costa del Sol, where small white pueblos nestle into the countryside. Of particular note is the hilltop village of Comares with its great views and charming cobbled alleyways. The old town of Frigiliana has also been beautifully preserved. Visits to both these pueblos can be combined with walks into the surrounding countryside.
Also nearby is the historic town of Antequera with its magnificent Moorish fort, ancient churches, Roman ruins and dolmens (Bronze Age burial chambers). Surrounding the Axarquia region are the mountain ranges of the Sierra de Camarolos (in the north), the Montes de Malaga (west), the Sierra de Alhama, Tejeda and Almijara (east), with the coast to the south.
Los Curriches is close to the excellent motorway network, so the historic cities of Malaga, Granada, Cordoba and Sevilla are all quickly and easily accessible from here. The coastal towns of Nerja, Maro and Torre del Mar are quickly reached via the A356 (the road which runs east from Casabermeja, past Lake Viñuela, down to the coast). And the costal resorts to the west (such as Marbella and Benalmedina) are easily reached from Los Curriches via the A45 and A7 motorways.
