Competa
The national park, the Sierras Almijara mountain range and Tejeda rise directly behind the village of Competa and offer a wide variety of walks.
Competa Town
These days Competa is self sufficient and thriving, providing its three thousand inhabitants with a municipal market, for example, with a fresh daily supply of meat, fish and vegetables. It is a charming flower bedecked old town with its main centre, the Plaza Almijara, dominated by a magnificent sixteenth century church. This bustling square is one of the best places to enjoy a break with a choice of several bars and restaurants.
Competa is fascinating to explore with its labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets that date back to Moorish times and spectacular views of the surrounding area.
The town is located north west of Nerja in the Eastern part of the Costa del Sol, and the drive takes approximately half an hour.
