Description
Hi I live in a lovely white washed village in la Axarquia Andalucía about 40 mins from Malaga airport and 20 mins to the coast , although there are English people in our village our town remains very Spanish we have all the modern amenities I.e bars ,banks ,two supermarkets , school , restaurants, modern health centre, good bus routes etc . Our pace of life is by no means fast the population of our town is around 2.5 thousand we have an amazing municipal open air swimming pool which is a stone’s throw from my house . The town celebrates flamenco in the summer the town hall puts on a fabulous cultural singing and dancing extravaganza held in the park and pool area every year free of charge . Tradition is very important here ferias and fiestas take place each year as do romerías . We are surrounded by avocados , lemons , mangoes these are the main export from the local farmers .
Our Town hall ( ayuntamiento) have much information for hiking routes, cycling trails , dates for fiestas , bus information etc . We are east of Malaga there is plenty to see and do the main holiday resorts for this area are Nerja and Torre del mar the Sierra Nevada ski resort is 1hour 30 mins away for skiing in the winter or nature and hiking in the summer the views are spectacular.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The cultural exchange here would be exceptionally advantageous for anyone who would like to see Spain unspoilt by massive tourism a Spain that still celebrates its traditions a friendly and welcoming village where occasionally goats and the goat herder will wave hello to you where you’ll see rows and rows of beautiful plantations handed down from father to son for generations, where you can sample traditional food and hablar with the locals and enjoy a very reasonably priced meal and beverage.
