Comares and the lost hamlet of La Zorrilla Tour









No doubt that visiting Comares is a must if you are staying in la Axarquia or nearby. Comares has been recently selected as Pueblo Mágico en España (Magic Village in Spain), perhaps because it is located on the top of a mountain. Also known as “El Balcón de la Axarquía” (the Balcony of la Axarquia) because of its breathtaking views, it is the best spot to appreciate all the Costa del Sol and also Montes de Malaga Natural Park. Come with us to discover the interesting history of this special village and also of La Zorrilla, an unknown but very lovely small hamlet. It was abandoned for several years and nowadays is a small paradise in la Axarquía. Comares is a typical white Andalusian village with Arabic origins. It has been an important village over the years because of its strategic position, not only in Muslim period but also in the Christian one. We will pick you up and will take you firstly to La Zorrilla. You will see how time has stood stil in this particular hamlet and learn about its interesting history. Afterwards we will head to this Comares, with a views over the Axarquia area that will take your breath away. Once there, we will start the guided walk and will visit its most important and beautiful corners. Then, (optionally) we will meet Antonio, a local man, and its lovely donkeys. These noble animals have been used traditionally to help in agriculture and transportation and nowadays they are in danger of extinction.
