destinations. And it is that   <\/span><b>Ronda <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is one of those places full of reasons to be visited, in this case as an excursion for those doing <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, whether it&#8217;s the capital or one of its villages. Its famous Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) over the Tajo de Ronda, carved by the Guadalev\u00edn river, is one of the most evocative images in the entire autonomous community. But in terms of heritage, it has many other attractions, such as the Bullring, the birthplace of modern bullfighting, the city walls, or the Casa del Rey Moro (House of the Moorish King). And all of this is enveloped in a genuine atmosphere of bandits, which also extends to other municipalities in the province but has its epicenter here, as demonstrated by the Bandolero Museum.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the regional capital, travelers can explore many other areas. The central zone is dominated by the Genal Valley, while the western end is dominated by the elevations of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and Los Alcornocales Natural Park, which extend into the province of Cadiz. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

wooded mountains with steep hills. Here, evergreen forests, such as holm oaks, pines, and cork oaks, combine with large extensions of chestnut trees, which give it a distinct personality in autumn, one of the most suitable seasons to get lost in the nooks and crannies of this area. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a list of some of the most prominent villages in the valley, which are also among the most interesting for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Igualeja<\/strong>: birthplace of numerous bandits, whose biographies are filled with legend and romance. It preserves charming corners and buildings within its cluster of narrow streets among whitewashed houses. For example, the church of Santa Rosa de Lima or the hermitage of Divino Pastor. But this village has carved out a niche in     <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for being the birthplace of the Genal River, which gives its name to the most important valley in the Serran\u00eda de Ronda<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Parauta<\/strong>: with part of its municipal area in the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, its landscape blends the grey of rocky hills with the green of pines, holm oaks, and olive trees. This small village of white houses and steep streets offers great peace to visitors. Its main building is the church of La Pur\u00edsima Concepci\u00f3n, with interesting dressed carvings inside. But for many, the most attractive feature of its municipality is the Pinsapo de las Escaleretas, declared a Natural Monument by the Junta de Andaluc\u00eda, standing over 25 meters tall and estimated to be over five centuries old.   <\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Benalaur\u00eda<\/strong>: a small village hidden in the Genal valley, from whose cluster of houses the bell tower of the church of Santo Domingo de Guzm\u00e1n stands out. It offers truly charming corners, such as the Plaza del Teniente Vi\u00f1as. In addition, it has an ethnological museum and another dedicated to the Roman Columbarium Cortijo del Moro, an important archaeological site located within its municipal area.  <\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cartajima<\/strong>: in this small village, where time seems to pass more slowly, you can visit the 16th-century church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Rosario, wander aimlessly through its intricate streets, and enjoy the panoramic views of its surroundings, especially its Riscos (cliffs).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>J\u00fazcar<\/strong>: this village has become one of the most successful destinations for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The reason lies in the color of its walls, blue, due to a marketing campaign that changed everything: it was chosen to promote the worldwide premiere of The Smurfs movie, so it swapped the white of whitewash for the hue of these characters&#8217; skin. And it has remained so to this day, by initiative of the residents themselves, despite the fact that due to copyright reasons, no mention can be made of the film. The 16th-century church of Santa Catalina de Siena is the most prominent building in this municipality, nestled on the hillside of the hill it sits upon. It also has a Mycological Museum. In the surrounding landscape, green all year round with reddish and yellowish nuances in autumn, cliffs and whimsical geological formations dominate, including the Sima del Diablo, for rappelling.    <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Alpandeire<\/strong>: a small village with an Arab-Andalusian layout, it was home to such disparate figures as the bandit Barbar\u00e1n and the Capuchin almsgiver Fray Leopoldo de Alpandeire, beatified by Pope Benedict XVI. The 18th-century church of San Antonio de Padua preserves the font in which this blessed man was baptized. Its humble urban core consists of labyrinthine and steep white streets.  <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pujerra<\/strong>: this village is nestled among chestnut trees on a hillside in the heart of Alto Genal, which gives its surroundings a pleasant green color for much of the year and a magical explosion of orange tones in autumn. According to tradition, the Visigothic king Wamba was born here in the 7th century, to whom a sculpture is dedicated in the Placilla Vieja. The church of Santo Esp\u00edritu is the most prominent in the village, whose surroundings are a paradise for hikers.   <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Benarrab\u00e1<\/strong>: another essential destination for lovers of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as it offers attractions both within and outside its urban area. Inside, the church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Encarnaci\u00f3n, in a classicist Baroque style, and the hermitage of Santo Cristo de la Vera Cruz stand out. And in its surroundings, the trails through the surrounding mountains are numerous and well-marked.  <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Jubrique<\/strong>: this humble white village sits on the hillside of a wooded and beautiful hill. From the Mirador del Pe\u00f1\u00f3n Encantado, you can enjoy spectacular views, which will delight those who choose this municipality for   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism trip through Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Its most important monument is the church of San Francisco de As\u00eds, although many come in search of its chestnuts, the fruit of the most abundant tree in its landscape and key to its economy.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Genalguacil<\/strong>: the octagonal tower of its church of San Pedro de Verona is one of the most characteristic elements of its white village, which contrasts with the intense green of the surrounding nature. Among the villages that form the circuit of   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism circuit of Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this is one of the best in terms of artistic offerings, as it boasts a Museum of Contemporary Art. Among its most notable excursions is that to the Reales de Sierra Bermeja, where it is easy to observe birds of prey in the skies. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Gauc\u00edn<\/strong>: whitewashed and spread out on the hillside of a nearly 700-meter hill. On the steep summit of the hill, the ruins of the Castillo del \u00c1guila (Eagle&#8217;s Castle) stand out, from which not only the Genal valley is dominated, but also Gibraltar and the African coast can be seen. Built during Islamic rule, it was also important in more recent periods: it was taken by French troops during the War of Independence. Other places of interest in its municipal area include the hermitage of Santo Ni\u00f1o and the Charca Pontoco. It is also a highly appreciated spot by climbers thanks to its via ferratas, by birdwatching enthusiasts, and by lovers of equestrian routes.    <\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4e29f4e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4e29f4e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-aa594f7\" data-id=\"aa594f7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a488dd wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0a488dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Green and Humid Western End of the Region<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-10d1913 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"10d1913\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0e09952\" data-id=\"0e09952\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92a6a31 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"92a6a31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rest of the Serran\u00eda de Ronda region has municipalities perfect for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Its western part is a natural area of great ecological interest, and part of it is integrated into the  <\/span><b>Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which also extends into the neighboring province of Cadiz. In addition, the western end of this region occupies part of the Los Alcornocales Natural Park, which also continues through Cadiz lands.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These protected green spaces share some of the environmental characteristics that make the southern peninsula special, such as above-average rainfall for Andalusia, especially in the higher parts of municipalities like Cortes de la Frontera. Holm oaks, cork oaks, and other Mediterranean species are predominant, leaving space in some places for pinsapos, a type of fir tree that can only be seen naturally here, in the nearby Sierra de las Nieves, in other parts of the Sierra de Grazalema, and in the Moroccan Rif. As for fauna, the griffon vulture, the Iberian ibex, and bats are some of the most representative inhabitants.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a natural environment as unique as the Serran\u00eda de Ronda, any village is suitable for a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism getaway in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

For example, the Cueva del Gato, connected with the Garganta del Hundidero, forming a single speleological complex with a permanent spring. But the most important is undoubtedly La Pileta, with walls painted in the Paleolithic era, representing one of the best examples of prehistoric parietal art in the Iberian Peninsula. Also in the surroundings is the Torre del Moro, the ruins of a Muslim watchtower used to control the passage of the Guadiaro Valley.   <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cortes de la Frontera<\/strong>: straddling the Los Alcornocales Natural Park and the Sierra de Grazalema, the village was formed relatively recently: in the 18th century, which gives it an unmistakably eighteenth-century appearance, especially its elegant Plaza de Carlos III. Its unique Bullring is, after Ronda&#8217;s, one of the most important in the region, built in the late 19th century and set in a green environment that makes it unmistakable. But its most surprising monument is the Casa de la Piedra, a Mozarabic church from the early Christian era. The Ca\u00f1\u00f3n de las Buitreras, a Natural Monument with rocky walls plunging up to 200 meters deep, where descents are made, belongs to its municipal area. In the surroundings, a great biodiversity of flora and fauna can be found, such as the dwarf palm or the griffon vulture, a resident of the area that gives it its name. In addition, the westernmost part of its territory extends like a wedge into the neighboring province of Cadiz, encompassing the village of La Sauceda, devastated during the Civil War, as can be seen in the ruins of the hermitage or in the Casa de la Memoria.     <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Jimera de L\u00edbar<\/strong>: near the Los Alcornocales Natural Park and the Sierra de Grazalema, this small village in the Guadiaro valley boasts idyllic spots for hiking and a small cluster of houses where the Molino de la Flor (Flower Mill) and the hermitage of Virgen de la Salud (Virgin of Health) stand out. The village square is also a charming place, despite its Rosario church being built in the mid-20th century. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Arriate<\/strong>: located north of the city of Ronda, this municipality has a beautiful church, San Juan de Letr\u00e1n, very evocative externally despite its recent reconstruction in the mid-20th century.

In its valleys, hillsides, and mountains, it is possible to find picturesque and charming villages, where disconnecting from stress is within everyone&#8217;s reach. In addition, it welcomes many visitors from the Costa del Sol, as some interesting municipalities are located just over 10 or 20 km from Marbella, for example. And this proximity has also boosted the development of luxury tourism, with high-end villas and rural houses.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The name of the region and the Natural Park already hints at its uniqueness: its high rainfall and significant vertical development mean that its highest peaks are covered with a white blanket in the winter months. This is the case with La Torrecilla, its highest peak, close to 2,000 meters above sea level, in the municipality of Tolox.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To the east of the Serran\u00eda de Ronda, the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park shares some characteristics with other neighboring protected areas, such as the Sierra de Grazalema, Los Alcornocales, or Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja. For example, the abundance of Mediterranean trees, such as holm oaks, gall oaks, and cork oaks, with patches of chestnut trees that provide a beautiful color contrast in autumn. But without a doubt, the most symbolic species is once again the pinsapo, the typical and exclusive fir tree of this area and northern Morocco. Its faunal variety includes the native red crayfish, the Iberian ibex, and more than 120 bird species, with raptors standing out. There are also numerous bats that inhabit its caves, as this is precisely one of the great peculiarities of the Natural Park: its karstic modeling, with dolines, poljes, travertine, sinkholes, cliffs, galleries, etc.    <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d21b15e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d21b15e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c612c3\" data-id=\"5c612c3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e470f0 wcf-starter-animations-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0e470f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/andaluciaexclusiva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vistas-de-grazalema-y-sierra-de-las-nieves.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12474\" alt=\"Views of Grazalema and Sierra de las Nieves\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andaluciaexclusiva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vistas-de-grazalema-y-sierra-de-las-nieves.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/andaluciaexclusiva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vistas-de-grazalema-y-sierra-de-las-nieves-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/andaluciaexclusiva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vistas-de-grazalema-y-sierra-de-las-nieves-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/andaluciaexclusiva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vistas-de-grazalema-y-sierra-de-las-nieves-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Views of Grazalema and Sierra de las Nieves<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b400ad0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b400ad0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eaf9a42\" data-id=\"eaf9a42\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76fb425 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"76fb425\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sierra de las Nieves: Featured Villages<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eef76aa wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eef76aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the foot of the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, there are several villages that not only serve as a starting point for excursions into its heart but also offer reasons to spend the day there. Here is a brief list of those you can visit if you want to experience   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Casarabonela<\/strong>: a village full of charming corners, squares, hermitages, niches, and typical streets, distributed throughout the urban area, located at the foot of the ruins of an Arab castle, currently used as a viewpoint. From it, you can see the Guadalhorce valley and the entire municipality, including the bell tower of the 16th-century church of Santiago Ap\u00f3stol, the main temple. In its surroundings, there is a peculiar botanical garden of cacti, which is open to visitors.  <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Yunquera<\/strong>: one of the most interesting villages for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as it combines nature and cultural proposals. For example, the remains of the Arab castle, which are now integrated into the parish church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Encarnaci\u00f3n. Or the Torre Vig\u00eda (Watchtower), located at the highest part of the village, of Arab origin but reformed as a command post for Spanish troops during the War of Independence, a testament to its importance in the conflict. Its current appearance corresponds more to its new use as the AstroLab Astronomical Observatory, which organizes guided observations with a telescope.   <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>El Burgo<\/strong>: this village, surrounded by a peaceful environment, is watered by the Tur\u00f3n river and numerous streams. It has an upper quarter where there was an Arab castle, of which sections attached to some houses remain. One of its most emblematic places is in its surroundings: the Natural Monument Cuenca del R\u00edo Tur\u00f3n-Guarda Forestal, a viewpoint where the recently installed stone sculpture, a tribute to these professionals, stands out.    <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ist\u00e1n:<\/strong> the nooks and crannies of its white old town remind us of its Andalusian past, with interesting constructions such as the church of San Miguel or the hermitage of San Miguel, both dedicated to the patron saint. The holy chestnut tree, over 8,000 years old, is much loved by the villagers; according to tradition, Ferdinand the Catholic celebrated a mass there in 1501. Here it is possible to walk along trails where history and nature combine: we are talking about the Acequias Moriscas (Moorish Irrigation Channels), especially the Acequia del Chorro, an irrigation system developed during Muslim rule that served to water the municipality&#8217;s orchards. Now they have been adapted, with signage and protective barriers, for the enjoyment of those who come for     <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism to Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In addition, water is one of the hallmarks of this municipality, with numerous rivers and streams, which in some cases form places of great beauty, such as the Charco de Canal\u00f3n.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Monda<\/strong>: another village where the Arab imprint is perceptible, with a clustered white settlement at the foot of a hill on which its Al-Mundat castle stands, reformed for tourist use. An even older vestige is the remains of the Roman road, on the outskirts towards Co\u00edn. The church of Santiago Ap\u00f3stol is the main temple, although throughout the old town there are corners with much Andalusian flavor, such as crosses, viewpoints, fountains, or the Casa Museo Mari Gloria, of great ethnographic value.  <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Oj\u00e9n<\/strong>: a village closely linked to Marbella, from which it is only 10 km away. Therefore, this beautiful village combines the classic attractions of   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism circuit of Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  with those of luxury tourism, with exclusive properties in a privileged green environment. The main points of interest are the 16th-century church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Encarnaci\u00f3n, the Molino del Aceite (Oil Mill) Museum, and the Aguardiente (Spirit) Museum, one of the products that have also brought fame to this town. Up the road, from the Mirador de la A-355, you can see the best panoramic view of its white houses and the surrounding Sierra Alpujata and Sierra Blanca.  <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Tolox<\/strong>: one of the main gateways to the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, providing numerous hiking routes within its municipal area. In addition, it boasts an interesting cultural and monumental heritage, worthy of being part of a   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism trip through Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: its upper quarter and its castle quarter, the church of San Miguel Arc\u00e1ngel, and several hermitages, as well as a Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions. But this town is also famous for its &#8216;bitter&#8217; water spa. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d00c61d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d00c61d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-da42f41\" data-id=\"da42f41\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b16ac97 wcf-starter-animations-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b16ac97\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/andaluciaexclusiva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ojen-sierra-de-las-nieves-malaga.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12475\" alt=\"Oj\u00e9n Sierra de las Nieves Malaga\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andaluciaexclusiva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ojen-sierra-de-las-nieves-malaga.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/andaluciaexclusiva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ojen-sierra-de-las-nieves-malaga-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/andaluciaexclusiva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ojen-sierra-de-las-nieves-malaga-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/andaluciaexclusiva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ojen-sierra-de-las-nieves-malaga-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1014c70 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1014c70\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0accca5\" data-id=\"0accca5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbbd2e0 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dbbd2e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Valleys: Guadalhorce and Guadalteba<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54745cf wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54745cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The valleys formed by the Guadalhorce river and its tributary, the Guadalteba, also have much to say as destinations for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, forming two distinct regions. The first is often known as the &#8216;orchard&#8217; of the province, due to its fertile lands used for growing fruits and vegetables, dotted with elevations and gorges. The second, for its part, delves into the Intrabetic Furrow or Depression, with greater orographic irregularity to the south, which does not hinder communications with the rest of the province but leaves us with some highly unique landscapes.  <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8f40eba elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8f40eba\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dc949bd\" data-id=\"dc949bd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67892e6 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"67892e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Guadalhorce Valley: A Fertile Valley of Villages<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-985040b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"985040b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-703d67c\" data-id=\"703d67c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ebf2dc wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ebf2dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although its landscapes and villages are not as picturesque as those of the Serran\u00edas de Ronda and Las Nieves, this region also offers proposals for those interested in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A destination that does not disappoint lovers of history, culture, and nature is  <\/span><b>\u00c1lora<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Its most significant monument is the Arab Castle, on the Cerro de las Torres, which offers a beautiful viewpoint. Attached to it is the Chapel of Jes\u00fas Nazareno de las Torres. From other points, such as Carril street or the hermitage of Calvario, there are other splendid panoramic views. The main temple is the church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Encarnaci\u00f3n, in Plaza Baja de la Desped\u00eda. But many visitors to this municipality come in search of unique natural landscapes in the surroundings, notably the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes.      <\/span><\/p><p><b>Co\u00edn <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is another municipality in this region and a chosen destination for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Among its attractions are the churches of San Juan Bautista, San Andr\u00e9s, and the hermitage of La Fuensanta. Although difficult to visit, its most surprising place is the Mozarabic cave dwellings, datable to the High Middle Ages. In its surroundings, there are numerous routes for cyclists and hikers, with viewpoints overlooking the coast of Fuengirola or the Sierra de Mijas, among other points. One of these routes leads to     <\/span><b>Alhaur\u00edn el Grande<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, another municipality with remarkable heritage: its Hurique Tower, its church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Encarnaci\u00f3n, the Arco del Cobertizo, or the Roman columns in the Town Hall Square.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller but with evocative corners is <\/span><b>Alozaina<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, between the Sierra de las Nieves and the Guadalhorce Valley.

The most famous of all is the Caminito del Rey, located in the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, reaching nearby \u00c1lora. The municipality usually considered the gateway to this unique spot is    <\/span><b>Ardales<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This breathtaking route, which follows the path built as a service road by the Hidroel\u00e9ctrica del Chorro Society at the beginning of the 20th century, attracts hundreds of thousands of hikers every year. Through hanging walkways and vertical walls, in some cases over 100 meters high, visitors are impressed by the whimsical gorges carved by the Guadalhorce River over time. Back in the village, the Castillo de la Pe\u00f1a (Rock Castle) or the church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Remedios are the main points of interest.    <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are going to do <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, other villages you can add to your list are:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Carratraca<\/strong>: a peaceful village surrounded by pine forests and scrubland, dotted with some olive groves. Some corners of its white village have a traditional and popular air, making it an excellent choice for   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is evident, for example, in the church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Salud, the polygonal bullring (late 19th century), or the views offered by the Town Hall viewpoint.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Teba<\/strong>: this small, typically Andalusian village, with whitewashed houses and a prominent hill, is crowned by the Castillo de la Estrella (Star Castle), from the Almohad period. Its keep houses an interpretation center for the complex. The church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Salud, with its imposing Baroque style, is also beautiful. In the village, some stately homes are also preserved. Much of Teba&#8217;s historical legacy can be explored in its Historical Museum.    <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ca\u00f1ete la Real<\/strong>: watched over from the top of the hill by the ruins of the 9th-century Hins Canit castle, this village boasts a grand temple that preserves medieval and Baroque elements: the church of San Sebasti\u00e1n.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cuevas del Becerro<\/strong>: close to the Serran\u00eda de Ronda, its most unique spot is

also offers some proposals for those looking to do <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The city that gives its name to the region is one of the most populated in the province, but also one of the most interesting to visit as an excursion, either from the capital or from a peaceful village in the region. On this excursion, its rich religious heritage (Royal Collegiate Church of San Sebasti\u00e1n, Convent of the Mother of God of Monteagudo, Carmen Church, the chapel of the Virgen del Socorro, etc.) or its splendid Alcazaba are unmissable. And of course, the Antequera Dolmens Site, one of the most important megalithic complexes in Spain, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This megalithic complex is closely related to El Torcal de Antequera, one of Europe&#8217;s most spectacular karstic landscapes. The same applies to some villages in the region, integrated into the   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism circuit of Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  due to their proximity to this Natural Area. This is the case of   <\/span><b>Villanueva de la Concepci\u00f3n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, located south of this area, which welcomes many travelers who have the whimsical rock formations firmly in mind.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to El Torcal de Antequera, another protected area of great value is the Fuente de Piedra Lagoon Natural Reserve, the wetland with the largest colony of common flamingos in the entire Iberian Peninsula. Its breeding pairs number in the thousands! It is located in the municipality of    <\/span><b>Fuente de Piedra<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, from where a circular route departs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For their part, the villages of <\/span><b>Casabermeja<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Alameda<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with heritage such as the churches of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Socorro and La Inmaculada Concepci\u00f3n, also offer tourist accommodation for a rural tourism getaway in Malaga.

Here, the hand of man is also more evident, having intensively exploited these landscapes: mining, grazing, viticulture, resin industry, etc. Bare hillsides or scrubland, ravines, and rocky areas are some of the most common characteristics, with scattered pine forests and less extensive patches of Mediterranean trees.    <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this does not prevent charming villages from emerging, which well deserve to be part of our proposals for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, both in this park and its surroundings.

All of this within a network of steep streets of Moorish-Mud\u00e9jar origin, whose clearings open up to beautiful viewpoints towards the Sierra de Almijara and the Costa del Sol. Among its most interesting places are a rich Archaeological Museum, the El Ingenio honey factory, the remains of the Arab castle, and the Reales P\u00f3sitos.  <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>C\u00f3mpeta<\/strong>: offers picturesque places highly visited by enthusiasts of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as the church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Asunci\u00f3n and its annexed Paseo de las Tradiciones, or the hermitages of San Ant\u00f3n and San Sebasti\u00e1n. It has a Museum of Arts and Popular Customs, as well as a panoramic viewpoint on the outskirts of the village. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Vi\u00f1uela<\/strong>: one of the great attractions of this village is its proximity to the Vi\u00f1uela reservoir, which impounds the waters of the Guaro river, offering pleasant walks in its surroundings.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Canillas de Aceituno<\/strong>: known as the Balcony of Axarqu\u00eda, its interest lies not only in the panoramic views that open from many points of the village, but also in the charm of the corners of its white and secluded houses. Here, the 16th-century church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Rosario y San Le\u00f3n Magno, Agua street, and the Casa de la Reina Mora stand out. It is also chosen as the starting point for numerous routes through the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park.  <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Canillas de Albaida<\/strong>: close to the previous one and with the same interest for nature routes.

It is therefore ideal for those seeking to disconnect on their   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism trip through Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The Church of Santa Ana is the main temple, and its streets serve as the starting point for hiking trails, in this case through the Sierras de Enmedio, Palomera, and Jobo. The Venta de Alfarnate is now a museum dedicated to banditry, as legend has it that two of the most famous outlaws, Luis Candelas and El Tempranillo, passed through here. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Comares<\/strong>: its winding location atop a hill results in several viewpoints, such as the Rueda or Nuevo viewpoints. Conceived as a fortress, it still retains some vestiges of its former castle. Arches in the Arab style cross some streets, giving it a very characteristic medina-like appearance that recalls its Islamic past. The Church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Encarnaci\u00f3n is its main church, featuring valuable Mudejar coffered ceilings. The via ferratas in its surroundings are also a benchmark in      <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, especially among climbing enthusiasts<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Alcauc\u00edn<\/strong>: one of the gateways to the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park.

Also in the surroundings are the ruins of Zalia Castle, conquered by the Catholic Monarchs in 1485 and in decline after the Alpujarras Rebellion in the 16th century. The Church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Rosario, from the 18th century, is its main temple, and the Alc\u00e1zar Recreational Area is an excellent spot for those enjoying     <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with their children<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-737c96b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"737c96b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e547212\" data-id=\"e547212\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1da8ca wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c1da8ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Nororma: sport and culture in the region<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7de7e7e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7de7e7e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-feee209\" data-id=\"feee209\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c08d4c8 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c08d4c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the northeastern corner of Malaga lies this region (hence its name) which, despite being smaller and less known than others, also offers attractions for a wide audience. The fertile plain is its predominant landscape, and in the absence of large mountain ranges (Sierra Gorda, Sierra de San Jorge, Sierra de Gracia, Sierra de Gibalto) or natural parks, the most interesting geographical features are its lagoons, as well as scattered rock formations and some karstic formations that have given rise to caves of archaeological interest. <\/span><\/p><p><b>Archidona  <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is the largest and most attractive municipality in the region.

This municipality is surrounded by olive groves and gentle pastures, in what is known as the peri-urban park of Sierra de Gracia. Its old town is situated at the foot of Pico del Conjuro, and precisely at the summit of this hill lies its most outstanding monumental complex: the Mosque-Hermitage of the Virgen de Gracia, a small Catholic temple built upon an old mosque, all within a fortified enclosure from the Almohad period (12th and 13th centuries).

Other notable Baroque churches include those of the Convento de las M\u00ednimas and Jes\u00fas Nazareno-Escuelas P\u00edas. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Casa del P\u00f3sito or Cilla, from the 16th century with an 18th-century facade, is another symbolic monument, currently housing the Municipal Museum. But its most special space is probably its Plaza Ochavada, a jewel of Andalusian Baroque urbanism, where the Town Hall is located: this meeting point is filled with terraces and hosts the town&#8217;s most important events, such as concerts, fairs, and even bullfights, although this use is a subject of continuous debate. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The surroundings of Archidona are also full of interest and offer options for those enjoying <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The Lagunas Grande and Chica have high ecological value, with patches of Mediterranean forest and large areas of scrubland around them, harboring rich fauna including reptiles (ocellated lizard, blind snake, etc.), mammals (fox, weasel, etc.), and, above all, abundant birdlife (common kestrel, little owl, European turtle dove\u2026).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-022b284 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"022b284\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e56ef11\" data-id=\"e56ef11\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43a5b54 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"43a5b54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Other Nororma villages<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a708044 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a708044\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e4c09b2\" data-id=\"e4c09b2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-906053a wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"906053a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to Archidona, Nororma has other villages where one can enjoy <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, either for the charm of their streets or the tranquility and beauty of their surroundings. An example of this is   <\/span><b>Villanueva del Trabuco<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with tranquil squares like Plaza del Caz or Plaza de Espa\u00f1a, and with the Church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Dolores as its most beautiful building, despite its recent construction (mid-20th century). Several viewpoints offer beautiful views of the surroundings. But what the locals of Trabuco are most proud of is the Fuente de los Cien Ca\u00f1os (Fountain of a Hundred Spouts), which is also the source of the Guadalhorce River, located about 6 km from the town center.  <\/span><\/p><p><b>Cuevas Bajas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another possibility for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In this case, its main attraction lies in the leisure and adventure activities available in nature: canyoning, hiking, bird watching, zip-lining, climbing&#8230; The Church of San Juan is the most important temple in the municipality and one of the largest in the eastern part of the province. It also preserves a 19th-century waterwheel, used to draw water from the Genil River. And for true serenity, the hamlets of La Moheda and El Cedr\u00f3n are an unbeatable option.   <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7ca2254 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7ca2254\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-da40183\" data-id=\"da40183\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a87058 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a87058\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Montes de M\u00e1laga: a rural option<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28bfc9b wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"28bfc9b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it may seem contradictory, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism can also be enjoyed in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  city. This is due to the privileged location of this great city, behind which rises the Montes de M\u00e1laga Natural Park, almost entirely belonging to the municipal district of this metropolis. It is a protected green space of great value, which has preserved its wild landscape very well, as there are no villages within the park&#8217;s boundaries.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it does offer some rustic accommodation as well as rural houses in its vicinity, making it a perfectly valid option for those wishing to experience <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Furthermore, some nearby villages are often used as a &#8216;base&#8217; to start full-day routes, departing in the morning and returning at sunset, thus enjoying the gastronomic offerings of these small towns.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of these hamlets or nearby villages include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ol\u00edas<\/strong>: a hamlet belonging to the capital, its humble urban landscape actually differs little from the whitewashed villages mentioned above<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Total\u00e1n<\/strong>: belonging to the Axarqu\u00eda region but within the sphere of influence of Malaga city, its cluster of houses also stretches along the Total\u00e1n river valley.

The Honey Museum is a cultural space to learn about this traditional craft, so closely linked to the town <\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding the ecological attractions of the Montes de M\u00e1laga Natural Park, it is worth noting its predominance of Aleppo pines, largely resulting from 20th-century reforestation efforts. To the north, patches of cork oaks, holm oaks, and gall oaks are visible. And of course, a great richness of shrubs, such as white heather, can be appreciated everywhere. As for fauna, this place is home to wildcats, wild boars, and stone martens, among other mammals, as well as majestic birds of prey, including the nocturnal Eurasian eagle-owl. One of the favorite spots for hikers is the Mirador de la Unidad, at the summit of Monte Matanza, offering extensive views both to the west (Malaga city, Western Costa del Sol) and to the east, with the peaks of the Sierra de Tejeda in the background.    <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-797f19b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"797f19b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0e2c0ec\" data-id=\"0e2c0ec\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d007fa1 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d007fa1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Other surprising villages<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6bdd991 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6bdd991\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c1db493\" data-id=\"c1db493\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b173a5d wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b173a5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we approach the Costa del Sol, whether Eastern or Western, municipalities tend to abandon their more traditional aspects and focus on the sun and beach concept, which is very prominent in this province.

Although their old quarters may not enjoy the tranquility and serenity of other inland villages, the beauty of their corners is well worth a visit. Furthermore, their hotel infrastructures offer top-tier options, ideal for those seeking the highest level of comfort and exclusivity: <\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Mijas<\/strong>: a municipality on the Western Costa del Sol that gives its name to the Sierra de Mijas and whose municipal territory extends to the coast, with coves and beaches like Calahonda. Its old town, nestled in the mountainside like a balcony over the sea, boasts monuments and places of interest such as the hermitage-sanctuary of the Virgen de la Pe\u00f1a, carved into the rock, the Church of La Concepci\u00f3n, or the Hermitage of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Remedios, in the picturesque Plaza de los Siete Ca\u00f1os. Its bullring is also peculiar, almost like a training ring, and on the coast, the Watchtowers, a surveillance system against enemy ships whose origins date back to the Muslim era. There is an Interpretation Center for these structures in one of them   <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Casares<\/strong>: administratively also belongs to the Western Costa del Sol region and is a charming village for those interested in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural tourism in Malaga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Ideal for a route through Sierra Crestellina and areas of geological interest (Ballesteros and Hedionda caves). Within its white village, it holds picturesque corners and historical buildings, such as Casares Castle or the Church of La Encarnaci\u00f3n.
