The feel
At almost 900 metres, Alfarnate is one of the highest villages in Málaga province, set among the sierras of Enmedio, Palomera and Jobo. The surrounding fields are full of olives and cereals, and the Venta de Alfarnate is one of the oldest inns in the province. It is a place for people who want real distance from the coast and a landscape that changes with the seasons.

- Genuine highland landscape and clean air
- A strong sense of a working agricultural village
- Good walking and cycling roads
