About the location

Cutar is a small "white village" built by the Moors. It is steeped in history, and recently a thirteenth century Koran was discovered with a sixteenth century "book of laws". The village is high up, tucked into the foothills of the great Mt Maroma 2000m that dominates the skyline. You will need a car and will have to be OK with the winding mountain road that takes you to the village. Velez Malaga, the nearest town means the fort of Malaga and is where the ancient army was garrisoned. Velez is a traditional Spanish town and the whole area is tradition and rural, relying on mixed fruit farming. It gives few concessions to tourists, but is very much liked by those who like to be part of Spanish rural life. Walking and touring by car is the favourite pastime. Far from the tourist trail, the house is 50 minutes drive from Málaga airport and 40 minutes from the city itself (now home to more museums and galleries than any other provincial capital in Spain). It’s 30 minutes from the coast and 45 minutes from some of the best deserted beaches in Andalucia. Granada is one and a half hours away and Córdoba two and a half hours.
