Accomodation in Colmenar - Malaga. Colmenar is the main village within the Los Montes de Malaga nature reserve which encompasses the majority of the Guadalmedina river bowl.
This municipality stretches on one side between the regions of La Axarquía and the Málaga Mountains and on the other it also adjoins the Antequera mountain range, so the resultant landscape is something of a compendium of three zones that meet in the municipal territory. It has limestone areas similar to those of Antequera in which there is more rock than vegetation, and other less steep areas that allow the growth of olive trees, cereal grains and low brush.
Archaeological sites that have been discovered in some parts of the municipality show beyond a doubt that there were already human settlements in this area in prehistoric times, which is only to be expected given the location of Colmenar, which must have been one of the routes that linked La Axarquía and the Málaga mountains with the Guadalhorce valley. This can be inferred from the remains found in the Cueva de las Pulseras (Las Pulseras Cave, from the Neolithic period) and at El Cortijo de Gonzalo along the Las Zorreras stream, which are from the Metals Age.
