This area is renowned for its speciality Cómpeta wine and traditional dishes such as migas, paella, and the grape-sharing tradition.

In the local villages of Canillas, Sayalonga, and the larger town of Cómpeta, you can organise tours of vineyards, walking tours, boat trips, and rent bicycles, e-bikes, jeeps, kayaks, and many, many more activities. We recommend that you visit the tourist office on the outskirts of the villages; the staff there are very knowledgeable and speak many languages.

The vibrant town of Cómpeta has several supermarkets, bakeries, and fish markets, which are generally open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, except on Sundays and holidays, so it’s worth checking in advance. This area does observe the siesta from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., so some shops may be closed during this time. In Cómpeta, there are larger supermarkets (Eroski and Día), a market (on Saturdays), and a fantastic wine shop

You’ll also find hair salons, beauty salons, clothing stores, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists within the villages.

We are approximately 18 km from the nearest beach, Algarrobo Costa, which is pleasantly clean and well-maintained, with many bars and chirringuitos where you can enjoy fresh seafood. The best supermarkets for larger shopping trips can be found in Algarrobo or Torre del Mar (Mercadona, Lidl).

Canillas de Albaida is part of the Sun and Wine Route and is located 52 km from Málaga and 24 km from Vélez-Málaga. The name Albaida means “white” and was given by the Arabs who founded the town in the 13th century because, according to legend, the town was surrounded by white flowers.

Nestled in the Sierra Almijara mountains, on the border between the provinces of Málaga and Granada, the village is surrounded by high peaks where goats, eagles, and wild boars are frequently sighted. Here, the fresh mountain air is filled with the scent of pine and oak, and nearby lies the Maro Cliffs Natural Park with its gorse, rosemary, and the increasingly rare sea lavender.

Like most villages in the Axarquía region, the streets are narrow and steep, and cars not only look out of place but struggle to fit. The walls of the houses are painted in different colours up to hip height.

Important monuments worth visiting include the Church of Our Lady of Expectation, located in the town square, and the Hermitage of Saint Anne, built at the highest point of the village, offering spectacular views. Opposite the village, just past the municipal swimming pool, stands the Hermitage of Saint Anthony, built in the 17th century. If you get hungry while you’re there, try the local dish of migas, made with corn and wheat, and be sure to sample the fried pumpkin as well. To further tantalise your taste buds, the local Muscat wine is excellent.

To get to Canillas de Albaida, you can continue from Cómpeta, head up from Archez, or head down from El Fogarate.



The drive from Málaga to Canillas de Albaida takes about 1 hour.

We can arrange for travel cots and high chairs for your younger children. Please contact us to make arrangements (fees payable locally).
