| Summary |

|
|
| From it’s commanding position on the top of a hill this recently constructed holiday house (finished in 2006) has marvellous views over a spectacular landscape with the blue sea as a backdrop (on clear days you can see the coast of Africa). The 360º panorama from the house offers us a charming vision of little houses and rural properties dotted over the patchworked countryside full of light. Nightime brings it’s own unusual spectacle as the coast below lights up with the fishing boats coming to port each with their own lantern showing the way home below a dome of millions of stars. The swimming pool which is on a large terrace is a great spot to take in these surroundings as is the covered porch and the barbecue area. Inside, the house is decorated in rustic style with a large lounge and well equipped kichen and close to these two large bedrooms all perfectly prepared for cold or hot weather, although here we would hardly notice it.
This area was originally planted with fruit trees on terraces by the Phoenicians and this is still in evidence today as is the passing of the Romans through the area – an important Roman Road passes close by (Via Antonino which ran from Malaga to Almuñecar), of which a branch went from Sayalonga to Granada crossing the Regional Park of the Sierras Tejeda and Almijara, and part of which is still intact today. There are many signs of the 900 years of Moorish presence in the narrow streeted villages of the area, the variety of crops they introduced, the watering systems and most of all the important monuments, most outstanding being the perfectly conserved,12th century Arab Minaret in the village of Corumbela.
From this spot we can visit the “White Villages” of Malaga’s Axarquia (Arches, Frigiliana, Competa, Sayalonga, Canillas de Albaida...) and the Mudejar Route which passes through them. In Cómpeta the wine cellars make an interesting visit. The tourist town of Nerja with it’s Caves and Gruta of the Maravillas is only 20km away and at the same distance there is golf in Torredelmar. The house is located 2-3km from the village of Sayalonga and approx. 12km from the beaches at Torrox.
