The coastal towns of the province are described in our Costa del Sol
section but, with its mountainous interior, this province is much more than its infamous coastline. For those who are prepared to travel inland a little,
the area of Axarquia is full of small white villages of Muslim origin, each with thier own character and
history. Axarquia is also home to Malaga´s primary fishing town and harbour at Caleta de Velez. There are many other areas of incredible natural beauty, spectacular gorges, good walking areas, one of Europe's two main breeding grounds for
the greater flamingo and sites of early civilisations. Further inland are the towns of
Ronda split in two by a gaping gorge spanned by an 18th century bridge, and
Antequera with its Baroque and Renaissance architecture.
