We first visited Almuñécar several years ago and from the moment we arrived we were captivated by its calm, authentic and welcoming atmosphere. The friendliness of the locals, the excellent food, the charming old town with its restaurants, bodegas, cafés, squares and parks—and, of course, the beautiful beaches—made an immediate impression. Everything was within easy reach. After just a few days, the stresses of everyday life had faded, and we knew this was a place we would want to return to again and again.
Not long after, we purchased our first house, San Miguel, and began an extensive renovation. A few years later, we bought our second house, Angustias Moderna, which also required significant restoration. Today, we are proud owners of both houses, located in the historic and authentic heart of Almuñécar, surrounded by rich cultural heritage and historical remains.
We hope that you will enjoy your stay here in our house and in Almuñécar.
A warm welcome!

The houses are located on a hill, surrounded by charming narrow streets and alleys that invite you to slow down and explore. Just 2 minutes from the front door stands San Miguel Castle, a historic Moorish fortress that crowns the hill. It was built here for its strategic location and breathtaking views over the sea and the mountains—a place where history, nature and beauty come together.
It is for that very same reason that we chose this special location, close to hiking and skiing in Sierra Nevada and close to the airport in Malaga.
From the terraces, you can enjoy sweeping, postcard-worthy views of the sparkling Mediterranean, the surrounding mountains, the castle itself and the town below. Whether at sunrise or in the soft evening light, the scenery creates a truly magical holiday atmosphere.
Like many authentic old towns, the streets are narrow, but we are happy that both of our houses can be reached by car, making your arrival easy and stress-free. At the top of the hill, just around the corner, you will find a small local grocery store, a nearby playground and our favorite neighborhood bodega, La Corrala, where you can soak up the local spirit and, on some evenings, enjoy traditional flamenco dancing.
