Villaneueva is overlooked by El Torcal, a massive limestone outcrop. Take a drive to the top and look out South across the valley and hills to the Mediterranean, East to the snow capped Sierra Nevada and West towards Ronda. Follow the marked walk where not only will you be captivated by the strange and beautiful rock formations but you may also see eagles, buzzards and vultures. If you are lucky you might even catch sight of the ibex that make their home up there.
A few kilomtres further on, the other side of El Torcal, lies Antequera. When the Romans discovered it, it was already 1000 years old. Stop for a drink on the terrace of the Mirador bar on the road into the city. Spread below you are the white painted, red roofed houses, interspersed with the towers of Antequera¡¯s many churches. In the distance a huge rock emerges from the plain ¨C La Pena de los Enamorados ¨C from which, according to legend, two lovers, one Christian, one Moorish leaped to their deaths in a tragic suicide pact. This historic city is well worth exploring.

For those who enjoy a round of golf, the nearest course is in Antequera. In addition, the coast, which has an abundance of courses, is easily accessible.
This is a walkers paradise, particularly outside the summer months. Look for a hilltop, get prepared for some roughish terrain including some fierce thorns, and just follow your nose untill you get there. Expect wonderful views and, in springtime a profusion of wildflowers set against a backdrop of the greenest green you¡¯ve ever seen.
Your villa is centrally located for easy access to Seville, Granada and Cordoba. Closer at hand, the city of Malaga is a vibrant blend of old and new.
