The feel

Cómpeta is a lively white village on the southern edge of the Sierra Almijara, famous for its moscatel wine and its long views to the coast. It has a strong international community, a good choice of restaurants and bars, and a calendar of fiestas that keeps the village alive year-round. It is more cosmopolitan than its neighbours, but still unmistakably Andalusian.

Why consider it

A vibrant village with year-round life
Local wine and a strong food scene
Sea views and mountain walking

The property

The village and its surroundings have a wide range of resale villas, townhouses and country fincas, with some new-build on the edge. Views and access drive value; the best ones are not always the easiest to reach.
