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.
The town was chosen, by its beautifulness
and tranquillity, to shoot the exteriors of a film of English production,
" the Teacher ", in September of 1.998.
|
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.
|
|
The house is distributed in dining-room,
kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The bedroom has a double bed. In the dining-room
there is a sofa-bed. The capacity is of 3 (adults), or of 4 (2 adults
+ 2 children). If you need more place we have another house, distant only
20 metres, Casa
Angeles

The kitchen maintains
the enchantment of the traditional kitchens. Over the chimney remain the
copper pans that were used to cook. Also the pitchers which were used to
bring water of the river are conserved.
The kicthen has a stove, a mini-oven, a
fridge, and a complete set of kitchen utensils (including crockery, cutlery
and glassware).
