RURAL BED & BREAKFASTS/HOTELS - MALAGA PROVINCE, ANDALUCIA

Cortijo Puerto El Peral, 4 star Rural Hotel, Almogia
The hotel is an approximate copy of a 17th century Cortijo (A gentleman's farmhouse) complete with a beautiful MIRADOR (formerly used as a look-out tower) and a large enclosed garden patio.   Our primary aim is to create an atmosphere more in keeping with a country home than a hotel.  All bedrooms are equipped with Super King size or Twin Beds, have comfortable sitting areas and are fitted with combination air conditioning and heating systems.
ÁLORA (MÁLAGA)
Álora - small town situated approximately 40 kms north of Málaga and just 12 kms south of the famous El Chorro.  Typical white village (Pueblo Blanco) nestled between 3 rocky spurs topped by the ruins of a magnificent castle, built initially by the Phoenicians and then expanded under Roman rule.  Virtually destroyed in the 5th century by the Visigoths, and then rebuilt yet again under the Moors.  All that remains is the decorative steel door and the traditional Arab Mirador.

El Azul has a bar, pool, satellite TV and is centrally heated for an all year round stay. We also offer free parking and free airport transfers.
ANTEQUERA (MÁLAGA)
Antequera - on the main rail line to Granada, is an ordinary, modern town, but it does have peripheral attractions in a Baroque church, El Carmen, which houses one of the finest retablos in Andalucía, and a group of three prehistoric dolmen caves . The most impressive and famous of these is the Cueva de Menga, its roof formed by an immense 180-tonne monolith. To reach this, and the nearby Cueva de Viera (same hours), take the Granada road out of town - the turning, rather insignificantly signposted, is after about 1km on the left. A third cave, El Romeral (same hours), is rather different (and later) in its structure, with a domed ceiling of flat stones; it also lies to the left of the Granada road, 2km further on, behind a sugar factory with a chimney.

Parador of Antequera, Antequera - Málaga
This parador is located on the Paseo Garcia del Olmo, a beautiful landscaped part of Antequera, just a few minutes from the historical town centre. It is 49 kilometres from Malaga and 150 kilometres away from Seville.  The bedrooms are medium sized and traditional in decoration keeping the general style of the parador.  The restaurant offers traditional dishes from Malaga with local touches, such as "porra antequerana" (cold vegetable soup).  This is an ideal place for those seeking rest but also for those looking forward to visit the provincial capitals of Andalusia which are close and easily accessible by car.

RONDA(MÁLAGA)

State protected because of historic interest in 1931, these baths were built at the end of the 13th century or start of the 14th century.
