Competa is another of the famous white villages steeped in history. It is located 650 meters above sea level in the Sierra Almijara and has stunning views down to the sea. On a clear sunny day it is even possible to see Morrocco across the Mediterranean Sea.
A 16th century church dominates the village centre, which also plays host to a small but delightful plaza encased with bars and restaurants. You cannot help but feel the warmth and friendliness of the locals. Like all of the local villages, fiestas are held throughout the year.
The surrounding National Park of Tajeda offers spectacular walks through the pine forests and terraces of avacodos, olives and almonds.
Although Competa has moved with modern times, you can still see some of the older locals using mules for their transport. |
