Discover breathtaking views and an Andalusian village of rare authenticity with our unique selection of houses and flats for sale in Comares. Known as the "Balcony of the Axarquía", this spectacular white village in the province of Málaga is a dream destination for those wishing to buy a property in Spain with exceptional views.
Comares is a spectacular "pueblo blanco" (white village) perched atop a steep mountain, at an altitude of over 700 metres, in the heart of the Axarquía region. Its location is its signature feature, offering 360-degree panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, valleys planted with olive and almond trees, and all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. Although seemingly a world away, the village is just a 35-minute drive from the beaches and bustling town of Torre del Mar, and less than an hour from the city of Málaga and its international airport.
Comares' greatest asset is without doubt its exceptional panoramic views. Every alleyway, every terrace offers a breathtaking view that changes with the hours and the seasons. The village itself is a jewel of Moorish origin, with a labyrinth of narrow, whitewashed streets, flower-filled squares and the remains of its ancient fortress. The climate here is mountain Mediterranean, which means hot, dry summers, often softened by a pleasant breeze due to the altitude, and cool winters.
Life in Comares is a contemplative, peaceful and inspiring experience. It's a place where time seems to stand still, far from the noise and bustle of the coast. The atmosphere is authentic, with a welcoming local community. It's an ideal destination for artists, writers, nature lovers, hikers and anyone looking for a spectacular retreat to recharge their batteries. Houses and flats for sale in Comares are often character properties, beautifully restored traditional village houses with roof terraces to make the most of the stunning views.
For foreign buyers, Comares offers the opportunity to acquire a property with unique character in an absolutely unforgettable setting. The cost of living and property here is lower than on the coast, offering excellent value for money in such a privileged location. The international community, although discreet, is very much present and is made up of people who, like you, have fallen in love with the beauty and tranquillity of the area. It's the choice of a lifestyle based on beauty, tranquillity and Andalusian authenticity.
There are two important aspects to its unique location. Access to the village is via a winding mountain road, and the village itself is very steep, with many steps and steep slopes. It is therefore not recommended for people with reduced mobility. What's more, a vehicle is absolutely essential for day-to-day living, especially for running important errands in the valley's towns such as Vélez-Málaga.
All in all, buying a property in Comares in Spain means treating yourself to an exceptional view of Andalusia. It means choosing a living environment of rare beauty and tranquillity, while remaining connected to the hustle and bustle of the Costa del Sol. Browse our listings and find your eagle's nest in one of Spain's most beautiful white villages.
