Ascending El Torcal

Ascending El Torcal: Andalusia

This traditional villa nestled between the Mediterranean Coast and Sierra del Torcal mountains is a real gem. Here, you'll find a sun-soaked terrace, a sparkling pool with slick sunloungers and an outdoor dining room with a barbecue for grilled alfresco feasts with your loved ones. The setting is primed for relaxation – wake up to the sun shining through your windows after a restful night’s sleep in your calm and minimal bedroom, then pad out to the warm tiles with freshly brewed coffee. Turn pages of your holiday read from the sunbeds, then enjoy a refreshing dip in your pool. We love the traditional interior that feels like a comforting haven when the midday sun reaches its peak. On cooler evenings, there’s a fire to toast by too – what’s better than returning home to a crackling fire after a long hike through the El Torcal de Antequera Nature Reserve?

Just a short drive in the car and you’ll find a host of hiking trails where you can spend the day admiring the landscape and Costa del Sol views. When you fancy practising your swing, take your pick of one of the nearby golf courses and, for a day on the sand, make the drive to Malaga’s golden beaches.
