Markets in Colmenar

Colmenar is a small mountain town in the Axarquía region, so accommodation options are limited, but staying in Town Centre puts you close to the local market and within easy reach of the surrounding villages. If you prefer more choice, the coastal town of Vélez-Málaga is around 30 minutes away and offers plenty of hotels and guesthouses as a comfortable base.

For a more rural feel, Axarquía Countryside has a handful of rural guesthouses and cortijo-style rentals that suit a relaxed visit to the area. Either way, having a car makes getting around much easier here.
