After years of severe drought, the water crisis in the Axarquía region of Málaga finally seems to be reaching a turning point. La Viñuela reservoir – the largest in the province – is more than half full for the first time in years thanks to unusually wet winter months, offering relief to local farmers, residents, and officials.

Holy Week is one of the most beautiful in Andalusia, with a passion that is infectious for both visitors and members of the brotherhoods, through the music that touches us and the smell of incense and orange blossom in the streets. The processions and fervor of these celebrations in Vélez-Málaga, where we go every year, are almost impossible to explain in words and you really have to experience them in person at least once. This small capital of the Axarquía has a rich historical and cultural heritage in this area, more than 3,000 years of history which comes into its own in this year's 'Holy Week', which takes place from 13 to 20 of April.
