Spain\u2019s Costas are renowned for the stunning coastline: fabulous sun-drenched beaches generously dotted with an abundance of beach bars designed to tempt you with their promise of sun tans and amazing fresh food. But Andaluc\u00eda has so much more to offer its visitors. Take a trip away from the coast, head inland for no more than a few kilometres and it won\u2019t be long until you reach one of the many picturesque towns and villages. You can even follow a tourist route of these white villages<\/a>, which spreads from la Sierra<\/em>, in the province of Cadiz to the\u00a0Serrania de Ronda<\/em>, in the province of M\u00e1laga. These delightful little enclaves are impressive historical monuments in their own right and are the hidden jewels of Andaluc\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Many of the inhabitants of these whitewashed villages still live according to age-old traditions inherited from their forefathers of Iberian, Roman and Moorish times. Some villages near the coast have become quite fashionable resorts, whilst others a little further away, have held on to their ancient appeal and tempt visitors with their local produce such olive oil, fruit and vegetables and goat’s milk.<\/p>\n

There is a strong Muslim influence in the architecture of steep, narrow, winding streets, alleyways allowing access into the houses and patios. Many of the villages include \u2018\u2026de la Frontera\u2019 (of the frontier) after their name which was due to the ever-moving frontiers brought about by constant clashes between the Moorish and Christian faiths. However, their status as a \u2018fortress\u2019 no longer a requirement, has seen many of the towns dropping the \u2018de la Frontera\u2019 to be known simply as Vejer or Arcos for example.<\/p>\n

If spending some time away from the coast is for you, then have a look at some of our stunning mountain properties. I\u2019m sure we can find you the perfect mountain retreat hidden amongst one of these little white villages.<\/p>\n

One of the prettiest villages, in our view, is Casares<\/a> which is only 15km from the coast. Nestled within the winding streets you can stay in fabulous 2-bed townhouse<\/a>. If you park at the top of the village you get the best view of its medieval fortress which sits proudly on the top of the hill. This view is best in the afternoon sun and is an ideal spot to climb down one of the steep, but well maintained, footpaths that lead into the village square called Plaza de Espa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a larger property, this stunning 7-bed villa<\/a> could be just what you are looking for. Situated in Ojen<\/a>, just 10 minutes\u2019 drive from the town and beaches of Marbella. Visitors can stroll through the town centre to view the Fountain of Chorros<\/a>, a drinking water fountain which dates back to 1905. Also worth a visit are the Oil Mill Museum, Wine Museum and the Caves of Ojen.<\/p>\n

Another of our popular rural property rentals features two adjacent properties situated on the mountainside just outside Coin<\/a>, near Malaga. The first is a 2-bed villa \u2018Casa Maria\u2019<\/a> and the second, a 4-bed villa \u2018Finca Tropical\u2019. Both properties offer spectacular mountain views, abundant orchards, BBQ areas and private pools (which can be heated if required).<\/p>\n

We have many more holiday rental properties with beautiful views<\/a> across the province. Please do not hesitate to contact us for advice, our holiday rental experts are on hand to help you find the perfect property for your next vacation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
