The feel

Periana sits on a ridge above the Viñuela reservoir, surrounded by olive groves, peach orchards and mountains. The village has a strong agricultural identity, a cooperative oil press and a handful of bars with views. It is a good base for exploring the Axarquía and for walking, with the coast within half an hour.
