Please phone our local contact and key holder, Jan Cresdee, upon arrival at Malaga airport so that she knows approximately what time to expect you (it's about an hour's drive from the airport). Jan's mobile number is 0034 619 965 717.

Leave the airport terminal or car hire pick up points and follow the only exit road. Follow the signs for Malaga, and after a roundabout, look for the landmark of the San Miguel factory on your right hand side. Follow the left lane for Malaga, Nerja, and Antequera which will take you in an Easterly direction. This lane takes you on an over-bridge which joins to the N340 coast road (E-15) running east. After 1km take the road which is signposted Motril, which is the N340 motorway and the Malaga City Ring Road. Travel along N340 for about 30 minutes along the Coast and leave the highway at exit 277 when you see the sign for Algarrobo. After leaving this road follow signs for Algarrobo, Sayalonga, Competa and Canillias de Albaida – this is the road you should follow. Another signpost will direct you to The Costa – do not go this way.

You are now on the mountain road and you will climb your way up through the villages of Algarrobo and Sayalonga. Do not speed, but drive carefully, and keep on the winding mountain road. After Sayalonga there is a sign indicating a left hand turn to Archez, 2.9 Km’s. From this point the road descends towards Archez. The left turn is very easy to miss and is on a sharp, right hand bend. If you miss the turn you will continue uphill and will soon reach the picturesque village of Competa.

Continue travelling downhill towards Archez. At Archez follow the road round to the left, across a bridge alongside the basketball pitch. 50 meters further on there is a right hand turn signposted Sedella. Take this turn and drive up the hill. After 1 Km you will pass a small Spanish bungalow with blue shutters on your right, and Casa Eve is situated just a little further up, also on the right hand side. A pair of brick pillars announce that you have safely arrived at Casa Eve. The wrought iron gates will be open, so drive in and park.
