The Experience
Come for the views: you’re perched high in the mountains here and on clear days you can see the sea – 25 kms away. It’s a wonderfully ramshackle place, and these renovated holiday homes with their higgledy-piggledy terraces merge charmingly into the village. The main hub is the bar/restaurant which serves lunches and dinners of traditional Spanish food and has a lovely terrace.
Kitchens are open plan and fairly well equipped with a few basics for cooking, bedrooms are simple but comfortable, ceilings are beamed and lofty. Wander the gardens with their abundant flowers and shrubs, spread out on a big lawn, cool off in the shared pool. Children will enjoy the games room, grown ups the sauna. Practise your golf on the new dry golf course, or your yoga in the huge salon with its beautiful windowpanes.
Walking and cycling the hills around here will be challenging but the views will be your reward. Return to a sociable drink in the bar and somebody else cooking your supper.

This bolt hole up the mountains is a magical place to unwind and take in the breathtaking views. For families you have an instant playground safe from traffic and small enough a community to allow children freedom to potter around the casitas making friends, playing ping pong, splashing in the pool or reading or playing cards on the restaurant terrace. Mags is the font of all knowledge who makes everybody feel cherished and whose hospitality will make you want to return. A great spot to unwind and enjoy the best of spain

Location
The neighbourhood
You'll feel on top of the world here, but not too remote. Periana is 3km for restaurants and, 2.5kms away, fascinating thermal baths - 600 metres above sea level. Zafarraya is close too with its old town and a ruined church to explore. Malaga and the coast is less than an hour in the car for great beaches, restaurants and smart shops.
Local points of interest from Edward Crawshaw
- We are surrounded by gorgeous pueblo blanco, white villages, each one worth a wander around and a stop at the local Bar for a tapa or a lunch, a visit to the local olive oil factory, or just enjoy the fantastic old doorways!
- The coast with its beaches and lovely seafood restaurants is just 25 minutes drive from El Canuelo. A lovely day out with the pleasure of returning up the mountain to the cooler air of El Canuelo
- The hot springs of Alhama de Granada are well worth a visit, wander down the side of the river into the pools of hot water, springing out of the font, from deep underground. Take your swim suit and a towel! really lovely late at night under the stars.
- Just above el Canuelo runs the old railway line, not used since the 50's, along it you can walk, run, cycle or horseback ride taking in the spectacular views whilst enjoying the solitude of the area. In the summer months you'll see groups of bee eaters .
- For Birdwatchers the Golden Oriole, Hoopoe, Bee Eaters, Eagles, Vultures and Chough being regularly seen. The wild Mountain goats can also be seen at certain times en route to greener pastures, passing the cave of Zafarraya Neanderthal man
- El Canuelo is a very good base for visiting four great 'must see' places in Southern Spain, Malaga, Seville, Cordoba and Granada. Don't let life slip by without visiting each of them!

Introducing
Edward Crawshaw
Edward used to be an art dealer, specialising in old doors and windows. He created this special world and lives half the time here, and the other half in Brazil. He leaves the day to day running to Mark and Mia - both of whom speak English and know the area very well.
13 of us spent a fantastic long weekend at El Canuelo. The location is extraordinary - very beautiful with amazing views. There is lots to explore. On the Costa del Sol the small towns away from the coast are often over-looked. Comares, Alfarnate and Montefrio are all worth a visit. The accommodation has been renovated with a real artist's eye and it's spacious and comfortable. We cycled (which is amazing round there - recommend Bike2Malaga for bike hire) and were looked after by Mags, Manolo and Ana with great food and good wine. Definitely recommend for couples, families or groups
