Välkommen till Canillas de Aceituno
Canillas de Aceituno offers a traditional, quiet life away from the crowds of the Costa del Sol, ideal for walkers or people who just want to enjoy the truly stunning scenery.
In the foothills of the tallest mountain in the Axarquia and with the Sierra Tejeda National Park on your doorstep, the village of Canillas de Aceituno is part of a magical landscape of forests, rivers and rocky peaks. Take a walk through the narrow whitewashed streets to the Mirador Blas Infante, a viewpoint offering panoramic views over La Vinuela reservoir and out towards the Mediterranean coast.
This gorgeous Moorish village offers a relaxed Andalusian lifestyle in an integrated international community of people who regularly come together for festivals such as Dia de Morcilla otherwise known as Black Pudding Day.

Community
Canillas de Aceituno has a population of around 1,700 inhabitants, 20% of those drawn to the area from abroad. The village has a reputation for being friendly and welcoming to all comers.
Property
You will find traditional whitewashed village houses of varying sizes and at reasonable prices. If you’re looking for something bigger or more luxurious there are many villas to be found in the surrounding countryside.
Amenities
There are restaurants and bars to be found in the village along with shops which serve your basic needs. The municipal swimming pool is particularly popular during the summer and doubles as a live music venue.
Transport
This is a mountain village, so roads are minor and windy. It takes about an hour to reach Malaga and 30 minutes to the coast at Torre del Mar. If you are without your own transport, there are regular bus services to the nearest large town of Velez Malaga.
Health
The village has its own public health clinic, pharmacy and private dentist, with the nearest hospital 30 minutes away in Velez Malaga. Why not visit the local spring, whose waters are said to prevent a variety of ailments.
Cost of Living
This area of Spain has long been a reasonable place to live and so it remains. While Canillas de Aceituno has some shops, they are fairly limited and prices may be a little higher than the larger cities and resorts along the coast.
