INLAND AXARQUIA: This really is a superb location in which to spend a holiday. For those seeking a relaxing family holiday amid wonderfully tranquil scenery this "cortijo" offers the perfect setting. Reached by 1300 metres of rough track (a normal car hire is suitable), the house is set in a finca of 8,000 square metres, in the foothills of the Sierra Tejeda-Almijara. 

'Casa Las Jaras' is a newly constructed villa with private pool (8 x 4m; 1.3 - 1,9 m deep.). It has a delightful feeling of comfortable seclusion about it -yet it is perfectly situated for visits to the Málaga coast, while the historic city of Granada would make an excelelent day trip. It sands near the old Moorish village of Archez, approximately 30 minutes from the coast, and is set in the magnificent landscape of the Sierra Tejeda mountains, surrounded by vine-covered hills and a valley sweeping down to the sparkling blue sea  in the distance. The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for walking, particularly in the cooler months and Spring.

All on one level, this house is ideal for anyone looking for a lazy, relaxing holiday well away from the madding crowd but near enough to the villages of Archez, Canillas de Albaida and Competa for enjoying a night out in one of the many bars and restaurants. 

The front shaded terrace has a built-in barbecue at one end and is ideal for outside dining whilst enjoying the panoramic views of the countryside (Natural Park). The Natural Park 'Sierra Tejeda-Almijara' is a carefully preserved area of spectacularly natural beauty teeming with wildlife including deer, mountain goats, hawks and eagles. As well as heaven for nature-lovers, the park is also a walker's paradise. For a day on the beach, the delightul resort of Nerja is not far away - the town offers a choice of sandy beaches, and a visit to its famous caves is also well worthwile.   

'Casa Las Jaras' and the swimming pool area in particular, is in an enviable location, taking full advantage of the sweeping scenery and the hot Andalucían sun, tempered throughout this area by the altitude and the fresh mountain breezes. Its geographical location and the beauty of its scenery, makes this area a wonderful place for a holiday at any time of year. 

For those who like to combine the usual holiday pursuits of swimming and sunbathing with some history and culture, there is plenty to see in this area.
