Competa, Spain - A Must "Stop and Stay"

Suspended at an altitude of 630 meters at the foot of the Sierras de Tejeda y Almijara, and some 50 kilometres away from Malaga, Competa appears in its robes of whitewashed town and an unmistakable smell of moscatel wine. There are old houses with traces of the Moorish, Roman and Christian architecture.
The parish church, dedicated to Our Lady of Asunción, dates back to the end of the century with an ocher coloured tower 30 metres in height which Isabel I of Castile had built in 1505. In the larger altar there is an Assumption, painted by Francisco Hernandez in 1972. The mural on the font is of the chapel of San Sebastián, the patron saint of construction. For the nature lover, there are the mountain ranges of Tejeda and Almijara, which have been declared a Natural Park and a National Big Game Reserve.
