Hotels in Axarquia, Spain

Axarquia is a sun-drenched region on Spain's Costa del Sol, east of Málaga, famous for its white hilltop villages and subtropical climate with mild winters (around 60°F/15°C) and hot summers (up to 90°F/32°C). In winter, you can hike through the rugged Alpujarras or tour the ancient Moorish fortress of Vélez-Málaga, while summer is perfect for swimming in the Mediterranean at beaches like Torre del Mar. Spring brings wildflowers and the best time to explore the caves at Cueva del Tesoro, or help with the grape harvest for sweet muscatel wine in autumn.
