Walking trees in Velez!
At each end of a small tree-lined walkway near the town centre of Velez-Malaga, known as the Paseo de Andalucía, are what we generally call the “Walking trees” and they are certainly worth a look.
Day trip: Nerja caves, Frigiliana and the lost village of Acebuchal
Visit the world famous caves, following by a stroll through the picturesque nearby village of Frigiliana, maybe a spot of lunch, and on to a lost mountain village full of surprises!
Day trip to Lake Bermejales returning via Almuñecar
This is a day trip for lovers of beautiful, unspoilt and spectacular countryside, devised to offer you a taster of real, natural Spain in a round trip that you will not forget!
Day trip to Alhama de Granada
This lovely town is totally trapped in time! It still has very old fashioned little shops and lovely, crumbling buildings that look more central European than Southern Spanish! Perched precariously on steep, deep ‘tajo’ (gorge), this is a most ‘visitable’, picturesque town, frequented by walking groups and curious tourists and well worth a day trip.
Playa del Cañuelo, a great beach for snorkeling
As a beach, top marks, in our opinion!!
Quiet, secluded, and a snorkeling paradise!
Granada city and the Albaicin
If you are visiting Southern Spain, the wonderful, inspiring and once-in-a-lifetime experience that is a visit to Granada’s glistening jewel, the Alhambra Palace, MUST be on your list! And much, much more besides in this fascinating and ancient city.
Río Chillar – a river walkEl Río Chillar – andar por el río
Río Chillar is a river walk with a difference – you walk IN THE RIVER!! Río Chillar es un paseo con diferencia – paseas por el río TU, no en un barco, sino andando por las aguas fresquitas y esquisitas del mismo río!
Shopping in Vélez-Málaga
This is not a bad place to shop!
First and most obvioulsy, a 7 minute drive in the direction of the coast, from Escuela La Crujia will take you to the El Ingenio shopping centre.

La Costa del Sol es famoso por sus chiringuitos en la playa. Muchos de ellos merecen la pena probar, y varían desde simplemente ‘espetos’ de sardinas (6 en un palo) hasta brochetas de carne, todo tipo de mariscos y bares tipo chillout.
