Province and Villages - Malaga - Itinerary - Axarquia: The Sun and Avocado Route

Axarquia: The Sun and Avocado Route


This route sets off next to Málaga and the sea, covering a great deal of the eastern Costa del Sol from Rincón de la Victoria to Torre del Mar, where it heads inland along the fertile plain of olive groves and vineyards which surround Velez Malaga. Roads which lead further inland take us to charming rural villages such as Benamargosa, Benamocarra and Iznate. Along the route we take in the atmosphere and bustle of the coastal tourist resorts as well as the peace and quiet provided by beautiful spot such as Macharaviaya.

Culture and wealth of monuments complement perfectly with the deepest traditions of warmly welcoming people who know how to treat the visitors well. El Rincón de la Victoria, Bezmiliana, to the Arabs, is home to great surprises , such as the Cueva del Higuerón (also know as the Cave of Treasure) with its ancient wall paintings. Close by, the remains of the Castle of Bezmiliana recall a romantic Muslim past. The Velez River estuary houses Phoenician and Carthaginian tombs, backing the hypothesis that this was the site of the town of Mainake. All along the route, numerous parish churches , of greater and lesser artistic worth, are spread out among the different towns. However, without doubt, the area of greatest monumental wealth is concentrated in the area capital: Velez Málaga.

The town’s current location is deeply Arabic, as recalled by the recently restored Alcazaba, or walls form anm attractive image with the whitewashed houses which fall away at its feet, interspersed whit church spires among their rooftops. The Church of San Juan Bautista and Nuestar Señora de la Encarnacion and the Church of Santa Maria la Mayor, both from the 16th century, are good examples. As with these buildings , a great deal of the temple of Axarquia are built upon former mosques, with minarets converted into beltowers. Other excellent examples of religious buildings, includes the Convento de San Francisco, built upon the old Jewish quarter, and found in an attractive setting of narrow winding streets, of clear Arab inspiration. The Convento de las Claras, of Carmelite nuns, the Santuario de la virgin de los Remedios, the Palacio de los Marqueses Beniel, the Hospital de San Marcos, The Fountain of Ferdinand V and Cervante’s House make up the important monumental patrimony of the town, and explain why the town centre has been declared a Historical- Artistic Site.
The sense of tradition of the people of Axarquia is expressed each year in the Procesión Marinera de la virgin del Carmen. Colourfully decked out boats, set against the tenous light of dawn , accompany yhe image of the Virgin of the seas in a show of great artistry.

The Aqua Velis Water Park and an important tourist infrastructure guarantee carefree days and relaxation in the warm waters of the Mediterranean.
