Stadthaus zur Miete in Competa

Casa Triana is a traditional village house, in a quiet street, near shops and amenities without being on a main road. Via a beamed walkway, you'll find our house with a beautiful Gaudi-style mosaic façade. A “typical” Spanish house, modernised but retaining its original charm, dating back to the 1920’s with some walls nearly 24” thick.

A comfortable lounge welcomes you, with 3 sofas, a reading corner, as well as TV, UK satellite, DVD, Video, games and books. Up a few steps to modern fully equipped kitchen, with wooden cupboards and granite worktops, with all modern equipment you need, The dining room is through an arch, where there are table, chairs and a sofa bed(if required) and music hifi. Both double and twin bedrooms on the 2nd floor with the 3rd floor for the bathroom, utility room (washing machine) and access to the roof terrace. All rooms have pictures on the walls and local crafts to make them warm and welcoming.

From the south facing roof terrace, partly shaded, there are spectacular views over the rooftops and the mountains. Patio furniture provided for relaxing, and enjoying watching the sun go down. The village is really welcoming with friendly bars and restaurants, many with live music.

There are a wide variety of shops and bakeries, and fresh local produce and many bars and restaurants for you to try out. Local shops have DVD's and videos to rent. There are 2 lovely pools in Competa less than 10 mins away and 1 in neighbouring village. One is based at the local hotel with its own bar (with tapas, meals and icecream!) and the other is the new municipal heated pool which is perfect for the cooler months.

A large Aquapark in Velez Malaga is only 30 mins away on the coast for the children and teenagers (and older ones!) with loads of swings, slides and wave machines.

Competa is one of the typical Andalousian 'white ' villages. It nestles in the foothills of the Sierra Almijara about 650m above sea level. It is only 18 km from the sea and about 50 km from Malaga. Competa backs on to the Sierra Almijara national park with views to Mount Tejeda.

Beautiful walks can be done straight from the village and there are many hikers’ maps that can be obtained from the tourist office - we have some in the house already. Relaxing walks by streams and waterfalls, as well as hikes right up into the Sierra Almijara mountains direct from village.

Make the most of cheaper fares to go walking in winter and spring when wildlife, fauna and flora abound, and also try the autumn when the heat of summer has abated. We can put you in touch with a local organiser who leads walks into the high sierras. Convenient for discovering the pueblos blancos (whitewashed villages) of Axarquia.

This is a most beautiful part of Spain, with a view of wild and impressive mountain areas, comprising of terraced hillsides and fertile, well-watered valleys. It has orchards of orange and olive trees watered by a unique Moorish irrigation system that was developed over a thousand years ago. Axarquia and Andalucia are exciting areas to explore, steeped in history going back to the time when this area was inhabited by the Moors from Africa, with beautiful examples in the well known town of Granada, with the fascinating Alhambra with parts from 10th century.

Further north is the Sierra Nevada, a national park about an hour's drive away, with the highest mountain in mainland Spain at 11,000 feet. The Sierra Nevada is usually snow-capped for much of the year, and has oak, chestnut and pine forests on its lower slopes, giving way to Alpine tundra and rocky crags towards the summits. It is apparently possible to ski in the morning and be on the beach in the afternoon.
