About the Area

Colmenar is a quiet suburban village amid mountain landscapes on the edge of Montes de Málaga nature park. Hiking trails lead through pine forests to waterfalls and lookout points. Sleepy streets are dotted with centuries-old convents, churches, and traditional taverns serving rustic Andalusian-style roast meat dishes. Visitors shop for regional honey, wine, and olive oil at small artisanal stores.

Convent of the Virgin of La Candelabra
It is well worth a walk up to the highest point of the village, at the Convent of the Virgin of La Candelaria. It is also known as the ‘Ermita’ (hermitage) de la Candelaria. From the viewpoints, you can see the Tajo and Doña Ana gorges and looking to the right is the Sierra Nevada, snow capped in the colder months. The story is that this 17th century convent was built as a token of gratitude from a group of fishermen who were miraculously saved from death during a terrible storm off the shores of Malaga. The plasterwork in the vault reflects the mannerist design of that era. In a niche, you can see an image of La Candelaria, the patron saint of Colmenar.

Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción
Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción was built in the 16th century. There are signs of Arab influence in its architecture, especially in the three aisles with very high ceilings and separated by arches on square pillars.
