Tired of the same holidays? Looking for a place where to rest, far from the noise and bustle of the cities? We invite you to know the real one, " authentic " Andalusia. In the Costa del Sol, is the region of the Axarquía , conformed by a mosaic of towns where you'll be able to visit multitude of places as well as to enjoy its gastronomy and traditions. Salares , with little more than 200 inhabitants, is one of the calmest and typical towns of the region. Salares is in the skirt of the Natural Park Sierra Tejeda-Almijara , important natural reserve where  animals like the wild goat, the fox, the eagle or jabalí inhabit.
 
It is an ideal place to practice  photography, hiking, to make a route with on an 4WD vehicle or simply, to breath pure air...The track of the Arab communities has been left patent in the architecture. The assembly formed by the Church (that before was mosque), and the Alminar was declared National Historical Monument in 1.979.
The town is a labyrinth of narrow and staggered streets that transfers us to the past. By most of them it is impossible to drive with vehicles.

Agriculture is the basic pillar of the economy. Due to the steepness of the land, the mules continue being used for the workings of the field, mainly for the plow of lands and the transport of the fruits. The most important crops are the grapevine, the olive tree and the almond tree.

But Salares is not only a place where "to isolate yourself ". From there you'll be able to visit, in addition to the city of Malaga , great part of the province, from Nerja , Frigiliana or Cómpeta to Torremolinos , Mijas , Marbella , Antequera...


 

You can also make one day-trips to places like Granada , where of course you can't miss the world-known Alhambra-palace.
Also you will be able to enjoy beaches, distant only 30 kilometers, and to taste typical fried fish in one of the many bars existing in Torre del Mar.

The journey from Malaga Airport to Salares by car takes about 70 minutes.

In Salares is "Casa Alminar", a house of typical Andalusian style  over 200 years old that has been recently restored. The restoration of the house  has been done in order to preserve the structure to the maximum.
