Cómpeta

Andalusia in the Heart

At the foot of the Sierra Almijara, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the white village of Cómpeta welcomes its guests. It can be reached via mountain roads from two points on the coast in just 30 minutes.


From Malaga, Cómpeta is only 50 kilometres away. Suddenly you come upon the town, like a gift from heaven, all dressed in white with the Sierras Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama in the background.


Explore the narrow streets, experience the cuisine of Andalusia or simply enjoy the beautiful scenery. You will find typical food in the many restaurants where you will be welcomed as a friend. Hospitality is another characteristic of this place.


The wine, sultanas and almonds, along with tropical fruits are some of the delicacies you must try.


Cómpeta offers you a wide range of cultural and sporting activities, several sports facilities and an extensive network of hiking trails across the sierra to the hidden paradise of "Sierra Almijara".


The history of Cómpeta dates back to Roman times.

The name means "crossroads" and "meeting place".


38 different nationalities live in Cómpeta today, who have lost their hearts to the land and its people.

Discover, Experience, Enjoy

What you should definitely experience during

your stay in Cómpeta.









Ruta de la Tapa

Get to know the people and bodegas of Cómpeta. The

normal time to go out for tapas starts from 12h and ends

late at night. If you go out for tapas at 12 noon or in the late

afternoon from 6pm to 8pm, your main intention is to have a

bite to eat with a drink before lunch or dinner. On the other

hand, if you eat tapas at Spanish lunch time (13:30-15h) or

dinner time (21h-22:30h), you eat as many tapas as you

want until you are completely full.




Hiking through the nature park

"Ruta Gaviarra" with start and end point at CASA EMILIA.

Plan 3 hours for this hike. If you haven't done at least one

hike in Cómpeta, you haven't experienced Cómpeta.




Acebuchal - the ghost village

This small village belongs to the municipality of Cómpeta. It

was once a refuge for the maquis, which is why it was

practically dissolved by the Spanish authorities and

abandoned to its fate during Franco's dictatorship. Fifty

years later, El Acebuchal was rebuilt by the García Sánchez

family.

The peace, tranquillity and exceptional natural surroundings

that surround El Acebuchal make it a unique place. Drive a

little way in the direction of Torrox and after a few minutes

take the footpath to Acebuchal. Once there, stop at the only

bar, which is of course called "Bar El Acebuchal".

The homemade bread is a sensation and is also sold to

take away.

Forget everyday life, enjoy the peace and quiet of this

unique place.
