The feel

Archidona is the capital of the Nororma comarca, a town of white streets, a remarkable octagonal Plaza Ochavada and a hilltop convent with views over the plain. It has a strong history, a good range of services and a location at the gateway to Granada and the Antequera plain. It is a real Andalusian town, not a resort.

Why consider it

The Plaza Ochavada and historic centre
A full range of everyday services
Good road access to Granada and Málaga

The property

The town is mostly resale and renovation, with new-build on the edges. Townhouses and apartments are the norm.
