Calle de la Villeta, 6, 29110 Monda, Málaga, Spain

In the province of Málaga, Monda is the perfect village for those seeking a slice of heavenly peace and quiet in the south of Spain: a pure escape in the heart of a mountainous setting, it also offers easy access to Málaga and Marbella, two fabulous coastal cities with vibrant nightlife and beaches to beat. While here, wander through the village to spot pretty fountains, and take a tour of the Casa Museo Marigloria for a taste of local history. Be sure to venture to Plaza de la Ermita, visit the Iglesia de Santiago Apóstol and stop by the local Mudejar olive-oil mill.
