White Villages
The "pueblos blancos", or white villages of the Montes de Málaga to the Alta Axarquía form a connection from the beach to the mountains. They are easy to reach and well connected by road from the N-340 along the coast and the N-331 between Antequera and Málaga.

The whole area is one of outstanding beauty where fields of crop, almond and olive trees are complemented by a background of mountains covered with fragrant pine woods. The green and copper-coloured fields are dazzled by the shining whitewash of the many farmhouses of the area.

There are many lovely and historic villages in the region, highly recommended for a visit, such as Alfarnate, Almogía, Casabermeja, Colmenar, Comares, Riogordo, and Periana.
