The feel

Sayalonga is a white village in the hills between the Axarquía coast and the Sierra Almijara, known for its unusual round cemetery and its narrow, flower-filled streets. The village has a church, a few bars and a strong community, with views that stretch to the sea on clear days. It is a good base for walking and for exploring the eastern Axarquía.
