Antequera is the inland town behind Málaga's most famous cold soup, the thick porra antequerana, served with soft mollete rolls and local olive oil.
Nerja is the Axarquía's coastal escape, its Balcón de Europa lined with chiringuitos grilling espetos and marisquerías frying the day's catch by the sea.
Frigiliana is a whitewashed hill village above Nerja, home to Spain's last cane-honey mill, its dark miel de caña drizzled over aubergines and pastries.
