The people at Bodegaz Bentomiz are really friendly and have a very interesting, well explained and humorfull story about their winery. However the absolute highlight of the visit is the lunch; a very broad variaty of dishes and tastes compaired with their exentric, complex but also very tastefull wines. Definitely go for the 5 course menu, it is worth every cent :-)

The Plaza Almijara is the main Plaza in Competa. We visited on the day of an annual wine festival and the town was buzzing. Competa is a beautiful Spanish hillside town and makes a great day out.

When the summer temperature rises radically, I can imagine that a hiking in this hilly city requires its athletic ability.December month and temperature around 15 degrees and the tourist season goes a bit more on low speed. A great opportunity to visit this mountain town that clings to the mountain range.Lots of picturesque environments and beautiful ornaments on the small house façades.The Old Fountain is a brilliant example.

Even before arriving Sara was super helpful via email giving us all The information we needed. It was easy to find, just off a main road in Torrox and everyone working there was super friendly. Run by Sara and Marcin (and cutest baby Olivia!) they made us feel totally at ease. Morning dive la hedurra, my partner and I were beginners and Marcin was a calming influence under the water. He was so reassuring and helpful, it made us feel so much more relaxed knowing he was guiding us. 60 minutes scuba diving was the perfect amount for our first experience. Highly highly recommend this place - they were so friendly and informative, loved every minute! Thank you for a great experience!!

Amazing experience, well spent time with friends, something new and really active to do. Worthy money (and it´s not an expensive activity).
Lots of fun, team work is the key to success ;)
Time flies when you are inside, you are suddenly using all your skills to resolve the mistery, you have to become Sherlock or Poirot or Mrs. Marple :D and keep your eyes wide open to see what suppose to stay unseen.
Highly recommended for families, friends, team building or even as a Bday or Xmas gift.
I have never been in the Escape room before but it didn't matter. Guys did a great job to make us feel great there. They took their time to explain everything (from where to park in crowdy season, through clear rules, to recommend us the best place to eat after game), to answer our questions, so nice and friendly staff.
I cant wait for a new adventure to be ready in December :)

As long as your expectations are set right, you'll have a great time riding with Graham.
Swing a leg over a KTM, most of which are not too clapped out, and hit the "trail." Just keep in mind (if you are from the States) that they have a different definition of trail. Dirt road riding past casas counts. Still, with this expectation, enjoy the fun and beauty.
You will get in some short bits of Single Track if Graham figures you can handle it - it's not difficult for the average US off-road rider. I figure we had 1/4 Single Track, 1/4 double track, 1/4 pavement, and 1/2 dirt road (like a fire road). I know - that makes 5/4. But hey - you get more than you pay for with this outfit.
Only knock on Graham is if you wait for the dust to settle a bit, he may turn off the main road upon which you may have to wait for him to circle back for you. He thinks he waits to see all at a turn, but he does not.
Don't let that stop you from having a good time. Spain is beautiful, and dirt biking is a great way to experience it!
8. Roman Bridge

Reviewed By TravelOwl66 - Hillsborough, United Kingdom
Don't do this walk expecting a world heritage site at the end of it. Do this walk to travel through history in the footsteps of goat herds, Romans, Moors and rural Spaniards. Start below the burial ground in Canillas. You will see the old zig zag Roman track clearly from here. Down past the goat shed and through the olive grove, enjoy the flowers and just think of the millions of people who have been here before you all through history.
Bring water and even a snack to enjoy at the bridge. Look out for kingfishers and other little Spanish exotic birds at the bridge. Then just sit and listen and take a little time to yourself.
Do this in the morning and you will have a little shade on the uphill return journey. Or be adventurous and head up the other side and and along the old track to Arches.
9. Church of San Antonio

If you’re following the main narrow village streets in Frigiliana, you’ll definitely get to the charming Plaza de Iglesias, where the San Antonio de Padua church is located.
The church was built in 1676 and is named after the patron saint of Frigiliana.
A century after its construction, the church was refurbished and got its current appearance.
Like all the buildings in Frigiliana, the facades of this church are white-washed as well.
Some call the interior a ‘hidden gem’; I guess this is a bit to much honor, however the altar and the ornaments are lovely and charming indeed.
If the doors are open (mostly during daytime), a short visit is recommendable.

We drove to Torrox Costa by car from Nerja & took a stroll along the long Promenade. Its a pleasant walk, easy, flat, with shops & cafe's close by. The beach itself is typical of the area.....dull grey sand that looks less appealing than golden or pale sand. Lots of parking close to the beach. The village of Torrox is a few kilometers in land and more appealing & interesting than Torrox Costa.
