Shopping in Competa can be fun and exciting. From the trinket shops to the olive wood and jewellery offered, you will find that special piece of memorabilia.

The surrounding area is perfect both for walking in the mountains and other activities such as horse riding. The lovely town of Nerja, a charming coastal resort where the mountains meet the sea, is 30 kms away.

The old Moorish village of Canillas de Albaida lies 1 km to the west of Casa Eve, at the edge of the Almijara national park. Its small winding streets and pretty village square are like a picture-postcard, having changed little in hundreds of years.xxxxxx

To the east is the white village of Competa, also intrinsically Spanish in style and culture, with its bustling village square, excellent restaurants and pleasant outdoor cafes.

There are numerous golf courses for the enthusiast in the area, the nearest being Baviera Golf Club, situated at Torre del Mar, 30 mins away.

Shopping on Route

For those that arrive between Mon and Sat, 10am – 10pm, and who want to ‘stock up’ on the way, there is an excellent supermarket which you will pass on route called Eroski’s. It's very large and sells most things. Go right at the turn off for Torre Del Mar, signposted exit 272, which is the turning before Algarrobo. There are supermarkets at Competa, but they are very small compared to this one. Eroski’s is worth a visit, and if not on route, then at some other time during your stay for a feast of Spanish shopping.
