Periana holidays take you to the province of Malaga in the Axarquia region of Andalucia. The village, with a population of less than four thousand, lies in the foothills of the Sierrra de Alhama, near the Zafarraya Gap. Although having an ancient history, the town was devastated by an earthquake in 1884 so many of its buildings date from that time. Rebuilt in the traditional style, white walls with red tiled roofs, its streets narrow and cobbled, it remains a very attractive place. It enjoys stunning views of distant mountains, the Guaro river basin and the La Vinuela reservoir. The area is known for its juicy peaches and its olive oil. Since Periana is only half hour drive to the beach, it is the ideal choice for those who, in the main, would like to avoid the crowds at the coast, but who would also like the occasional dip in the sea. Holidays here are popular with couples looking for sun and relaxation, of which there is no shortage. The village also appeals as a base for walkers and cyclists as there are many pleasant woodland trails. If you wish to explore the local area, car hire is essential.
Periana is a charming village with small hotels, apartments and villas providing a range of accommodation to suit most budgets. You are always assured of a warm welcome and service is good. Though limited in number, Periana has some fine restaurants where you can find both traditional and international cuisine. If you are new to the flavours of Spain, order tapas and you can choose tiny portions from a variety of dishes which are ideal as tasters. Spanish wines are very pleasant and also inexpensive. Although small in size, the village offers a good number of shops which more than adequately supply all your holiday needs, including gifts and souvenirs. It is no surprise to find that nightlife is very low key. When the sun goes down, Periana remains as relaxed as it does by day.
