Sayalonga

Move to Sayalonga, a tranquil gem on the beautiful ‘Route of Sun and Wine’ to enjoy a peaceful way of life in absolutely stunning surroundings.

This picturesque whitewashed hillside village lies around 30 minutes inland off the Costa del Sol town of El Morche. Nestled in the Axarquia region, Sayalonga forms part of the beautiful ‘Route of Sun and Wine’, a 55-kilometre route which traverses the coastal and inland areas of wine production.

The name Sayalonga is derived from the latin for ‘long cloak’, and is said to have been named by the Romans, who noticed the way this hillside village resembled a piece of clothing that had been hung over a ridge to dry in the sun.

Naturally, with the village set into the hillside in this way you can expect some pretty dramatic views of the surrounding countryside and nearby coast. Not only this, but the village itself is filled with historical sites.
