Regions of the province

Costa del Sol Occidental
The western coast stretching from Torremolinos to Manilva, famous for golden beaches, marinas, and golf around Marbella and Estepona.
Axarquía
The sun-drenched eastern Costa del Sol, a patchwork of whitewashed hill villages, subtropical fruit farms, and beach towns like Nerja and Torrox.
Valle del Guadalhorce
A fertile inland river valley of citrus groves and market towns north of the capital, home to Álora, Coín, and the Caminito del Rey gorge.
Serranía de Ronda
A rugged mountain region crowned by the cliff-top city of Ronda and dotted with the pueblos blancos of the Genal and Guadiaro valleys.
Antequera
The historic heart of the province, centred on Antequera with its dolmens, the El Torcal karst landscape, and the Fuente de Piedra flamingo lagoon.
Guadalteba
A tranquil inland comarca of reservoirs, olive country, and archaeological sites, anchored by Campillos, Teba, and the Ardales area.
Nororiental de Málaga (Nororma)
The rural north-eastern corner of the province, a land of olive groves and quiet villages spanning Archidona and the Villanueva towns.
Sierra de las Nieves
A UNESCO-listed national park of fir forests, deep gorges, and mountain white villages such as Tolox, Yunquera, and Ojén.
