The municipality is situated approximately 50 km from the city of Málaga. It has a population of approximately 400 residents.

It is located near the Sierra del Jobo in the northwest and the Sierra de Alhama in the east in the mountainous region of Axarquía.

To the east lies the town of Alfarnate, to the west lies Colmenar, and it shares its southern border with Riogordo and Periana.

The town is surrounded by several notable peaks, including 'Pico Chamizo' (1637m), and 'Pico Gallo' (1356m) and 'Pico del Vilo' (1412), two peaks which can be done together as part of a popular hiking route.

The local larder

What people eat in Andalucía when they eat well.

Gazpacho y salmorejo

Tomato, oil and bread, well chilled in summer; every household has its own touch.

Jamón ibérico

From the Andalusian sierras, thinly hand-carved; order the tapa with your wine.

Aceite de oliva virgen extra

A good share of the world's extra virgin olive oil is made here, and breakfast is bread with it.

Pescaíto frito

Flour, clean oil and a quick fry; a coastal custom that climbs to the sierra.

Markets and local produce

Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.

We haven't confirmed Alfarnatejo's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
