In the province of Malaga
Welcome to Cómpeta, one of the white villages of la Axarquia in Andalusia
Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra de Almijara, Cómpeta offers everything you come to Andalusia for: Whitewashed houses, flower-filled streets, lively little squares, sunshine, mountains and that gentle pace of life that invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment.
Here you are far from hustle and bustle of the major seaside resorts, yet close enough to the Mediterranean to enjoy the sea and the beautiful beaches.
Competa is a village to strolling.
The best way to discover it is simply to wander through its narrow streets and let yourself get lost. Around every corner, you may come across a beautiful whitewashed facade, a little chapel, a shady terrace or a sharming local shop.
The heart of the village comes alive around Almijara square, with cafés ans restaurants where you can sit back, enjoy a drink and taste some delicious Andalusian specialieties.
The church of nuestra Señora de la Asunción, overlooking the square, is one of the village’s most iconic landmarks
