Question

The area around Lake Vinuela is it best to stay by beach or up by Competa for weather in Jan & Feb?

Answer 1

The weather around la Viñuela and the weather down on the coast will be about the same....So it doesn't rally matter where you choose to stay... We are having a drought, so you may have plenty of sun even though it's wintertime...That will depend on your luck. The temperature in winter in that area is usually around 17º to 20º on a nice sunny day.

The rural hotel at La Viñuela is very nice. other than that it is very rural "countryside"area. I have friends who own a place in Alcaucín, a few minutes down the road from the lake, and I was there last weekend!

while you are there go on to Zafarraya, Alhama de Granada (a great little spa town) and Cómpeta itself (some of the best Malaga wine is produced there, a good place to get some).

There is a nice shopping center just outside of Velez-Málaga (El Ingenio)

And the beaches near Vélez and Torrox are also nice, plus you have the Grottos at Nerja to visit also...
