Description: |
This large townhouse is located on the lower edge of the whitewashed village of Canillas de Aceituno in the Axarquia region of Andalucia, but only a few minutes walk from the village centre and shops. The coastal resort of Torre del Mar is approximately 25 minutes drive from the village and Malaga Airport is less than an hour away by car.
Mules clip clop past the house through the winding village streets, where swifts, swallows and housemartins wheel and nest above. You can enjoy the sound of goat bells, the scent of jasmine and orange blossom and enjoy the breathtaking views over the mountains to the Mediterranean and distant Morocco. The peak of La Maroma (2080m) provides a spectacular backdrop for this charming village.
Accommodation
Casa Salamandra is a three-storey townhouse, which has been fully renovated and recently repainted. The property is our second home and its furnishings reflect this. The townhouse is supplied with water and electricity. It has a total living space of 120m2, excluding the private rooftop terrace, garage and storage room.
The main entrance leads directly into the spacious dining room, with table and chairs that seats six comfortably. This area is known as the gallery, with a selection of prints and ornaments.

About the Area
The town is situated on the scenic Mudejar Route, at 645 metres altitude in the foothills of the Sierra Tejada mountain range, on the highest mountain in Axarquia, La Maroma which reaches 2,080 metres. Canillas is the ideal base for walking and exploring. The natural spring from the mountain attracts people from far away due to a belief that if the pure water is drunk, illness is prevented. The billage has a population of 2,800.
There are many shops in the village, including two banks, post office, art gallery, various mini supermarkets, two butchers, pharmacy and an ironmonger. For eating in the village, the Bodega, with 2 huge pots outside, serves excellent food in the bar or the restaurant. The Sociedad also serves full meals or tapas. There are various other bars which can be found throughout. The village also has a good medical centre and a dental practice, a flourishing school and a town hall. The village has its own municipal swimming pool that is open to all (small charge) in the summer months and is situated 7 minutes walk away.
Casa Salamandra is ideally located as a "get away from it all" type of break, ideal for those of you that enjoy nature, photography, painting or writing. It can also be used as an excellent base for those of you who are keen to purchase your own Place in the Sun or for visiting other areas such as Granada (1.5hrs) or Seville (2hrs).
The lower slopes below the village are devoted mostly to the cultivation of olives, almonds, grapes, oranges and lemons with all kinds of vegetables growing in the valleys, whilst the wild and rugged mountainsides above are partly covered with firs and have streams rushing down over the rocks and waterfalls.
