Exploring Axarquía

Rating:

4,0

+ 7

En plena Axarquía, entre las laderas de la Sierra de Alhama, Tejeda y Almijara, hay un puñado de pueblos blancos que aún conservan su legado musulmán. Arenas, Árchez, Salares, Sedella y Canillas de Aceituno son las más destacadas. Constituyen un recorrido de 40 kilómetros salpicado de minaretes con geometrías de ladrillo y soportales, señas de identidad del estilo mudéjar. Tu corazón viajará a otros tiempos.
