Welcome to AbsoluteAxarquia.com, the complete guide and directory to the AXARQUIA – an ancient area, east of Malaga City, in southern Spain where the beaches stay open all year and orange trees line the streets. Known for THE BEST CLIMATE IN EUROPE, Axarquia has sub-tropical temperatures. Lapped by the Mediterranean waters of the Costa del Sol and sheltered by magnificent mountain ranges, the Axarquia lies within the Malaga Province of Andalucia. We have collected a wealth of information about the Axarquia, it’s towns and villages, food, festivals, attractions and activities. We have also provided lots of information about the rest of Andalucia including cities like Malaga and Granada and Andalucia’s Natural Parks. There is a lot on the site so please use our menu, sitemap and site search to find what you are looking for. If you wish to advertise click here.
