Our beautiful 800 year old restored olive mill is tucked away in a secluded and peaceful location amongst the ancient olive groves of rural Axarquia.

This small and unspoilt area of Andalucia - to the north and east of Malaga - is still a well kept secret and has retained it's traditional rural character. Untouched (as yet!) by tourism, it remains predominantly agricultural. Bordered to the north and east by the rugged mountains of the high Sierras, and to the south by the Mediterranean coast, it is an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The rolling hillsides are covered with a patchwork of olive and almond trees on the higher ground, and fruit, mainly peaches, grapes, oranges, lemons and avocados on the lower slopes. Peaceful river valleys wind their way down to the sea, and all around the dramatic mountains form a panoramic backdrop to the breathtaking views.

This is the totally tranquil setting of "La Molina del Olivar!"

The panoramic views over the surrounding countryside are absolutely spectacular, particularly in the morning and evening when the light on the hills and mountains produces an ever-changing tapestry of colours.

This is a wonderful area for those who enjoy walking through glorious countryside, bird watching and painting etc., or if you like the idea of exploring on horseback, trekking is now available locally. There are tracks and goat paths all around and several National Parks within easy reach. The spring flowers are world renowned, and spring and autumn also sees the arrival of migrating birds on their way to and from Africa, including many eagles and birds of prey. If you need a quiet break in a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere yet with easy access to modern facilities and the sea, "La Molina del Olivar" provides the answer. A very special place for the discerning visitor.
