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. Canillas de Aceituno borders no less than 3 nature parks: Sierra de Tejeda, Sierra Almijara and the Alhama Parque Natural. From Canillas de Aceituno you look out on the spectacular reservoir of La Viñuela.
It is a village with narrow streets that are immaculately whitewashed, with ancient Moorish arches and flowers and plants in every street. The village is located 54 km from Málaga and 27 km from the coast of Torre del Mar. It is accessible via the motorway C-335 and the local M-125 from Vélez-Málaga.

High above the landscape of the Axarquía, like a white balcony against the sky, lies Comares. This spectacular mountain village is one of the highest in the region and is rightfully called the balcony of the Axarquía. From almost every point in the village, the views stretch to the Mediterranean Sea, below which a patchwork of valleys, olive groves, and winding mountain roads unfolds.
Comares sits at around 700 meters above sea level and has just over 1,300 inhabitants. Its location on a steep rocky ridge made the village almost impregnable for centuries. Today it is a peaceful place where life unfolds at a calm pace, and the whitewashed houses, narrow streets, and flower-filled balconies define the village scene.
