To be honest, this was also a point on our list to eventually live in this region. Recently, I started playing again every Friday with a club of friends, mostly near Canillas de Aceituno but occasionally we go a bit further afield to explore yet another course. And whether you are an experienced golfer or just starting out, the golf courses in this region offer something for everyone. Below I share some of my favourite courses:

A must-see when in the La Axarquía region is, of course, the Moorish Alhambra Palace in Granada. The Alhambra palace complex dates back to the period of the Moorish rulers (Nashrid sultans) and means qasr alhamrā in Arabic, or the Red Palace.

You will be amazed by the detailed ornaments, mosaic-decorated walls and stunning views of the city of Granada, Sierra Nevada and the plain of Cordoba.
