The province of Malaga is located between the Mediterranean Sea and mountain ranges and therefore not only blessed with a fantastic climate but as well with breathtaking natural surroundings. Basically, we can divide the province of Malaga into the littoral where is situated the world renowned Costa del Sol with its popular beach resorts and the unspoiled mountainous inlands.

Situated in the mountains and on mountain slopes are the white villages of Moorish origin, with small whitewashed houses and steep, narrow streets. White villages situated close to the Costa del Sol are for instance Mijas and Casares. Mijas is situated in the close by mountain slopes over Fuengirola. There you can find many shops selling local handiwork and restaurants with stunning views over the Mediterranean Sea.  Casares is a white village situated in the Sierra Bermeja mountain ranges of Estepona, in the Western Costa del Sol.

The Axarquía is Malaga’s most eastern municipality, framed in the north by the Tejada and Almijara mountain ranges bordering the province of Granada. The interior, with an outstanding landscape offers a set of white villages with steep and narrow streets with orchards, citrus, olives, grapes, almonds and avocados.

The river Guadalhorce, after passing through Antequera, crosses the mountain range at the spectacular Desfiladero de los Gaitanes between pine trees and Spanish firs and further on forms the Guadalhorce Valley in the south of the province Malaga.
