About our
property:
AXARQUIA
(MALAGA): In Salares you will find
"Casa Angeles", a typical
Andalucian style house. It is more than
200 years old, and has recently been
renovated. In restoring the building we
attempted to preserve as much of the
original structure as possible.
The only modifications made were those
strictly necessary for adapting the house
to modern facilities. Most of the
furnitures have been refurnished and
placed in their original locations. This
permits the visitor to enjoy the house as
it was in the olden days.
Casa Angeles has been created for the
enjoyment of country life and reproduces
it with the greatest possible fidelity.
This is not a hotel, nor does it pretend
to be. However, a flare of luxury does
exist here, with complementary touches
that we are sure you will appreciate. The
copper pans which were used for cooking
have been returned to their place above
the dining room fire place. The pitchers
seem ready to be taken down to the river
for water.With its wooden beams and reeds
in the ceiling, its thick walls and its
earth floor, the house gives you a
feeling of having stepped back in time.
However it is fully equipped for modern
use.
The majority of the population earn a
living from traditional agriculture. Both
the harvesting of olives and almonds and
the wine treading, are still carried out
in the old way. Mules are still used for
transporting fruit and for pulling the
ploughs.
The most characteristic indigenous
animals are the hare, the fox and the
boar. You may come across these at any
time on the road. Because of the
proximity to the coast, you can go on
day-trips to the beach (30 minutes away),
and also visit busier places like Nerja
(with its famous caves), Torre del Mar
(where you can sample the famous fried
fish), Marbella, Torremolinos, Ronda,
Antequera...
You can also make one day-trips to places
like Granada , where of course you can't
miss the world-known Alhambra-palace.
The village has a public pool just 200
meters from the house.
"If you are looking
for authentic- youve come to the
right place. Raw walls, chilly
rooms, friendly people, and an
old village in the mountains with
a great atmosphere. Close to
nature, hiking paths nearby. The
smell og many spices. A lot of
oranges, this is THE place".
