Canillas de Aceituno

Canillas de Aceituno offers a traditional, quiet life away from the crowds of the Costa del Sol, ideal for walkers or people who just want to enjoy the truly stunning scenery.

In the foothills of the tallest mountain in the Axarquia and with the Sierra Tejeda National Park on your doorstep, the village of Canillas de Aceituno is part of a magical landscape of forests, rivers and rocky peaks. Take a walk through the narrow whitewashed streets to the Mirador Blas Infante, a viewpoint offering panoramic views over La Vinuela reservoir and out towards the Mediterranean coast.

This gorgeous Moorish village offers a relaxed Andalusian lifestyle in an integrated international community of people who regularly come together for festivals such as Dia de Morcilla otherwise known as Black Pudding Day.
