Villanueva del Trabuco Property Real Estate Agents
Villanueva del Trabuco is one of the most attractive Andaluz white villages in the Antequera area, just 45 km north of Malaga. It is around 700 m above sea level & has a population of approx. 5,000. As with many of these small inland Andalucian towns & villages, Villanueva de Trabuco has attracted some British, but it still retains a very traditional Andalucian lifestyle & has many fiestas during the summer, with it´s 5 day famous fiesta around the 12th September.
The village of Trabuco is easy to reach by road, just 3 1/2 km off the main A359 Malaga to Loja / Granada rd. This easy road access with both Malaga city & the town of Antequera has made this a popular choice for the permanent residence of many Spanish people, who commute to the larger cites for work, enjoying relaxed lifestyle, away from the city bustle.
The River Guadalhorce & Higueral run through the village, offering many lovely country walks along their banks. In the town centre there are many pretty areas to found, like the oldest quarter, el Barrio de los Villares. The splash of brightly coloured flowers, spilling out of the well tended terra cotta window boxes, make a walk through the village a real delight.
The heart of the village is the Plaza de Prado, where you will find most of the shops, also where most people tend to gather for social events or simply to meet up for a chat with friends & neighbours. This square is also where you will find the Ayuntamiento - Town Hall, as well as the renowned fountain known as the 'Fuente de los tres Caños'. The water from this fountain, which is said never to dry up, is one of the best sources of water in the province.
Villanueva del Trabuco, in the far eastern side of the Antequera area, nestles at the foot of the Gorda & San Jorge Mountains, which provide the most stunning surrounding scenery to the village & the fields around it. There is a lovely river side walk which leads up the Sierra de San Jorge. In contrast to the steep rise, the foothills form a soft landscape of olive groves, wheat fields, dotted with houses & farmhouses. The rivers & water springs present in the area, add to the lush landscape, enriched with different species of poplars & ash trees, which provide welcome shade for a long lazy summer day in the country. If you enjoy walking, the GR7 route passes through this beautiful town.
