1h 15mSalares is on of the highlights of this tour. With our official guide you will visit the old Roman bridge and beautiful Church of Sta. Ana with its arabic minaret, that was restored just a couple of years ago. Salares is a charming small white village that you will love.
1hFinally, we’ll head to Sayalonga, known for having the narrowest street in the region! We’ll enjoy a tasty tapas lunch and take a relaxing walk through this lovely village before heading back.
1h 40mDiscover the hidden mountain villages of Málaga
Málaga is not only sun and beaches — it’s also one of the most mountainous regions in Spain, and its inland villages offer a completely different charm from the coastal towns.
Join us on this off-the-beaten-path journey to four of the most beautiful and lesser-known white villages in La Axarquía. With a local expert as your guide, you’ll explore stunning Moorish heritage, narrow cobbled streets and picturesque scenery — all just a short drive apart.
By the end of the day, after visiting ancient minarets and learning about centuries of history, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the unique culture and traditions of inland Málaga.
This day trip includes round-trip hotel transport from the coast between Nerja and Torre del Mar.
