Inland Málaga area guide
Twenty to forty minutes from the beach, the Guadalhorce Valley and the Sierra de las Nieves offer white villages, orange groves, mountain views and real gardens.
Living in Inland Málaga
Village life is more Spanish and slower: weekly markets, tapas bars on the square and a fiesta for every saint. Most people drive, so a car is part of daily life. Málaga, the airport and the coast are still within easy reach.
The homes
Villas with gardens and pools, fincas and cortijos with land, and village houses. You usually get more space and land for your money than on the coast.

Good to know

- Not every finca is on mains water or fibre internet. Ask how water arrives and test the connection.
- Winter nights are colder than on the coast, so check the heating.
