Casa Meyer is a fantastic 3 bedroom villa situated outside the lovely traditional Spanish village of Comares. With living room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, private swimming pool and terraces with spectacular views. 30 minutes drive to lovely beaches. You can also visit Granada, Seville, Cordoba and Ronda. The village of Comares has bars, shops and restaurants. Sleeps 6 people.

One of the highest pueblo blancos in Andalucía (739 metres above sea level), Comares can be spied for miles around, rising high above the surrounding countryside and resembling a natural extension to the craggy rock face. A map is useful,first time visitors may still find the approach hard to find and, equally baffling is the fact that the village keeps disappearing from view as the windy country roads dip and curve round a succession of death-defying hairpin bends! However, when familiar with the approach, the journey from Málaga airport is less than an hour, while the nearest coastal resort Torre del Mar is just 24 km away.

Fortunately, despite being breathtakingly pretty, Comares has not yet succumbed to the coach tour circuit, there is exquisite small hotel on the main plaza. Throughout the village, there are colourful ceramic plaques depicting Comares´ important place in history, which can be traced back to the third century BC. The village remains typically Moorish in its layout and design with narrow cobbled streets, interspersed with arches (dating back to medieval time), flanked with simple whitewashed houses. The Parish Church is 16th century with a beautiful coffered/stucco/moulded ceiling. There are also two plazas, two bars, two supermarkets, a post office and a bank. There is no souvenir shop (yet!) and you can't even find a post-card on sale.

The latter is particularly telling, as the views are, quite literally, incredible. From the south, rolling hills of olive and almond trees reach to the sea while, to the north, dramatic mountains rise up far into distance, like a bewitching lunar landscape which shifts and changes according to the light. The main industry in Comares is the production of olive oil, wine and almonds while, in the valley, esparto grass is grown for domestic and agricultural use. This is, without doubt, one of the prettiest villages in the province of Andalucía and should be visited soon, before the raffia donkeys go
