The feel
Alfarnatejo is a small village next to Alfarnate, set in a bowl of mountains with a church, a few streets and a lot of olive groves. It is one of the quietest places in the Axarquía, where the main sounds are birds, tractors and the wind. For a retreat, a writing house or a base for walking, it has a particular kind of honesty.
Why consider it
- Extremely quiet and uncommercial
- Mountain views from almost every street
- Lower property prices than the coast
The property
Expect resale village houses and country fincas; new-build is rare. Water, access and winter heating are the practical questions.
