Rural Montes Málaga: Cortijo La Palma  

Just outside Málaga, Cortijo La Palma sits about 11 km from the city center and roughly 15 miles from Málaga Airport. Cultural stops nearby include the Picasso Museum, Carmen Thyssen and Jorge Rando, with the Museum of Glass and Crystal also within easy reach.

This spacious rural cortijo offers seven bedrooms, a terrace and a balcony with pool and mountain views. Interiors pair rustic charm with modern comforts—fireplace, flat-screen TV, showers and two bathrooms (one with bidet and a hairdryer). A fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, toaster), ironing and free private parking make longer stays easy; staff speak English and Spanish.

Private pool and outdoor pool, an open-air bath, garden and outdoor furniture set up for lounging. There’s a barbecue area for alfresco meals and hiking nearby to get you outdoors—wake up to mountain-view mornings or step onto the balcony for pool-side scenes.

Self-cater with the well-equipped kitchen or use the on-site barbecue for relaxed outdoor meals. The property is a handy base for exploring Málaga’s markets and tasting Andalusian flavors in town.
