What to do
Lake Viñuela – a beautiful place to walk, cycle or barbeque
Just ten minutes’ drive North of Escuela La Crujia is the most magnificent and beautiful man-made reservoir known as La Viñuela. It provinces water for the whole area and often for Malaga city and is essential for our existence here. But it is also a most beautiful place to visit.
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, walking and swimming: La Alcaicería, Los Ventorros and El Pato Loco
If you wish to combine nature and a leisurely walk through beautiful countryside in the shade of a canopy of poplar trees along a river bank, followed by lunch, and a cool splash and a sun bathe, this is a great day trip to make from Escuela La Crujia
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.
Fiestas
One of the best ways of experiencing the true Spanish spirit in all its colourful, animated glory, is to visit some of the local ferias and fiestas.
Our nearest bars
At Escuela La Crujia, we have two excellent bars and restaurants, just a few minutes walk (and 2 mins in the car) from us.
Playa del Cañuelo
As a beach, top marks, in our opinion!!
Quiet, secluded, and a snorkeling paradise!
Painting Course
We are highly priviledged to be able to offer our clients the services of highly respected Dutch artist Renate Van Nijen, in the form of her One Day Workshop and One Week Inspiration in Andalusia painting course here at Escuela La Crujia.
Getting married in Spain
If you are looking for a venue with a difference for your wedding or that of a family member, we highly recommend a rather special place … just 5 minutes’ WALK from the Escuela La Crujia B&B complex!
