Alfarnatejo is a beautiful village in the northern part of the Axarquía in Spain and only 35 minutes and 50kms from Malaga International Airport. Being so high above sea level, there it is a wonderful contrast in this area between the stone and the humid vegetation, it has earned itself the name of The Pyrenees of the South. Surrounding the town are peaks reaching to more than a thousand metres, such as the Pico del Chamizo to the west, at 1,637 metres high; the Pico del Gallo to the east at 1,556 metres or the Vilo peak at 1,412 metres. This is truly a unique area of Malaga province.

Surrounding the town are the most spectacular cliffs of the province, they are Gómer, Doña Ana and Alto del Fraile. The history of the area goes back to prehistoric times. A number of Neolithic remains have been found in the River Sabar gorge, and in the Gómer cliffs, domestic objects some 5,000 years ago have been discovered. The evolution of the town has always been linked to that of its close neighbour, Alfarnate, from which it separated in the 18th century. The ruins of the Sabar castle are still evident on the peak of the Alto del Fraile.More Pictures
