With its 1,100 inhabitants, Alfarnate, located in the northwest of the Axarquía near the border with Granada, is one of the smaller white villages. It is the highest village in the Axarquía, with streets situated at 925 meters above sea level, but unlike most white villages, its streets are not very steep. Due to its altitude, the area is sometimes called the Pyrenees of the South, and in winter, Alfarnate and the neighboring village Alfarnatejo often have snow. The surroundings are beautiful, as Alfarnate lies in a kind of green valley surrounded by tall rocky mountain ranges.

This white mountain village is located in the east of the province of Málaga and is one of the municipalities that comprise the comarca of Axarquia and the judicial district of Vélez-Málaga. Canillas de Aceituno lies at an altitude of about 645 meters at the foot of the Sierra de Tejeda and is crowned by the top of La Maroma at 2,068 meters, the highest mountain in the province. The natural source of La Maroma attracts people from miles away because the rumor circulates that the water would be healing when drinking it.
