The area around Sedella and the villages of Andalucia

Artist Impression of Sedella Andalucia

You could not wish for a better location for your dream home. Sedella is the ultimate in peace and tranquillity, yet only 50 kilometres from Malaga in Southern Spain. It has a population of approximately 500 people which is predominately Spanish. The rest of the population is mainly made up of English and Danish speaking people.

The whitewashed village of Sedella and the surrounding area is full of old Spanish charm and character. The village architecture shows a clear Moorish influence and the parish church of San Andes is built on the foundations of an old mosque. 

There are several bars, restaurants and shops in the village selling most things and with the large coastal resorts being only forty minutes away the occasional luxury can easily be obtained.

This is an excellent area for people who enjoy walking and wildlife abounds, with mountain goats and a host of birds of prey including Golden Eagles inhabiting the higher Sierras. The crisp clear air of the mountains and the ever changing vistas forms the dramatic backcloth of La Maroma with rolling hills down to the sea. There are many interesting walks around the village varying from easy to very difficult to suit your preference. Most of the tracks (carrils) are passable by ordinary car but some, particularly in the national park area need four wheel drive to stand any chance.
The National Park is a walkers paradise. Wild Goats, Cattle, Ibex, Eagles and Wild Boar are indigenous to the area. Fishing and sailing are available at Vinuela on the lake and two golf courses are being constructed there. A municipal swimming pool and tennis court is also being constructed and is nearing completion.

Finding your way to the Sedella area is not easy and it is strongly recommended that you have a good route map before attempting it. We will provide you with a route free of charge and other details that may be useful. Please click on the Enquiry link and enter your requirements.

Prior to the 1950s there were no facilities for clothes washing in the village, indeed there was only a 6 volt electricity supply so washing machines were certainly not available. The ladies  had to walk about 1 kilometre down a rough track to the Puente Romano (Roman Bridge). Later the council then had a wash house built which is still located at the entrance to the village next to the Chirinquito bar.  This has been recently renovated with murals depicting the scene at the Roman Bridge.

 The walk to the Puente Romano is clearly marked at its start at the eastern end of the village. The track was recorded in Roman times and continued in used until the 1960s as the main route to Salares and to travel over the mountains to Granada Province. The English writer, Gerald Brennan, in his book “South of Granada” published after the First World War, writes of staying in Sedella for one night on his walk from Malaga to Granada. The walk to the bridge is short but beautiful,  oleanders are in abundance in the summer. The tranquillity of the area around the bridge takes you back to a time when life was slower, more peaceful but very certainly harder.
