Matya_Dio Says: Everyone in Almogia seems to have a horse.Or two.Or a whole herd.A local riding school Llanos de la Venta offers riding lessons to anyone from the walking age to the age you can still walk.Or sit.
Matya_Dio Says: Romeria - pilgrimage - of San Isidro the labourer brings Almogia's working life to a halt around the 15th of May...Virtually every family decorates their horse cart or a carriage, or even a car.There is a competition for the best decorated vehicle.This general fiesta madness...
Restaurante Bar La Parada: Moved!
Matya_Dio Says: Just opened in July 2005, this place is new, fresh and enthusiastic.The owner used to run El Pasaje, the tapas bar.Again, too much light for my taste, I like the eateries to be dark and demure and duskily evocative. Hell, I'm over thirty, don't want everyone to see my...
Restaurante Pizzeria Frutti di Mare: Finally a pizzeria
Matya_Dio Says: Much desired!New place, hence very clean and decent.Too much light for my personal taste, but otherwise great.Italian wines, Italian food from salads through pizzas, pastas, rice, meats to sweets.Efficient service, good food.My kids love it. Garlic Bread and Pizza Roquefort
The summer fair at Almogia: Feria de Agosto
Matya_Dio Says: From the dusk to the dawn, for 5 consecutive nights around the 15th of August.Come and join the locals in the summer fair madness when people don't work, don't sleep, and don't worry.Various bands liven up the athmosphere, there is music, dancing, discotheques, bars, stalls...
Disco Bars: have an early night !!
lcurato Says: A couple of bars with music at weekends, usualy full of local youngsters, all well behaved. Casual, no one in this town owns a tie !! very laid back.
Matya_Dio Says: The buses to and from Almogia are fairly inflexible when it comes to reaching the place from the airport.You would need to take a bus from the airport to the bus station and from there find a time-convenient bus to Almogia.Although dirt cheap, the buses to Almogia are scarce...
Hire a car if you are a hyper person.
Matya_Dio Says: As you leave the airport of Malaga, at the roundabout the road will be signposted for Malaga and for Torremolinos. Take MALAGA road. It will take you over a bridge. After this bridge, you will join a highway. 3 km onto it, you will see a sign on your left, saying CAMBIO DE...
lcurato Says: lots shops and bakers open till late at night, tobaconist at top of village for all fags and even some small gifts, many shops look like someones front room but just walk in and they will be pleased to see you.
lcurato Says: As the population average age is very old you should always treat them with a "ola" and smile , old men sit around and watch the world go by, a bit like gods waiting room.

Be careful when purchasing property
lcurato Says: There are many property agents working within this area, not all can be trusted and remember do not part with any monies unless through a good solicitor.
Matya_Dio Says: The only trap in Almogia - El Trampa, is the Spanish man with this nickname.There are no souvenir shops in here.If you are after 'I went to Spain and thought of you' T shirts - you won't find them here.Neither will you encounter the restaurants with the 'picture' menu for...
lcurato Says: Beware property salespeople who will promise you everything, take good legal advice and do NOT part with money to anyone unless through an abagdo (solicitor), many live to tell the sad tales of being ripped off. There is a saying that visitors "leave their brains at the...
Matya_Dio Says: Sturdy walking shoes are a must if you want to walk to and from the village, it is practically built on a vertical hill.Think of boots again, if you want to horseride, as I have seen tourists riding in flip-flops, not the best gear to ride in! Mosquito repellent is a...
lcurato Says: good shoes for exploring village, very steep streets and a good climb up to castle
lcurato Says: The highlight of the year, very impressive parades that take place late at night on the thursday and friday before easter, crowds arrive from Malaga early and parking can be a problem. Also fair with good live bands in middle of August, area also known for its Verdiales...
lcurato Says: the village swimming pool is open during summer months just outside village. cozzy I suppose !!
A perfect spot to return to every year!
Matya_Dio Says: If you are planning to visit Spain, particularly Andalucia, don't overlook this jewel in the mountains of Malaga.It's location is perfect, just half an hour from all the bustle and traffic and rush and hectic madness of the Costa del Sol, yet it is so slow paced and...
lcurato Says: Old moorish castle ruins at top of village. The first sight of the village from the Malaga road, an old whitewashed village on the side of a hill.
