High in the heart of the Axarquía, nestled between the Sierra de Tejeda and the rolling valleys, lies Canillas de Albaida. This white village is known for its authentic Andalusian charm and its prominent hilltop location, offering panoramic views over the surrounding mountains and the wide valley of the Río Algarrobo. The narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and flower-filled balconies give the village a picturesque and intimate atmosphere.
Canillas de Albaida has approximately 1,200 inhabitants and retains its traditional character thanks to its remote location and limited tourism. Village life unfolds quietly here, with small squares as meeting points and local crafts keeping the history and culture alive.

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.
