One of the very first places I visited when arriving in Spain 6 years ago was Competa. It had all the classic features of a Spanish 'pueblo' (village), with it's numerous whitewashed townhouses, narrow streets and a very warm and friendly welcome from the locals.
This traditional white Spanish 'pueblo' is typical of the many pueblos located throughout Spain, the intricate arrangement of properties built up over hundreds of years surround a main plaza and the town church. Townhouses often go under and over, behind and in front of one another providing a charming glimpse of Spanish heritage.
Although, as the article points out, Competa has long been discovered by tourists and some would argue has lost a little bit of it's appeal through modernisation and renovation, it holds up today as a good mix of old and new. The welcoming atmosphere remains and is highlighted best during the many fiestas taking place throughout the year, Competa still has a lasting effect on all who visit.
Property prices here are relatively low for Malaga, some 20% below the province average but slightly above the national average.
