Additional Information

Join us on a journey to explore the rich wine heritage and history of Spain, whilst also gaining insights into the Muslim heritage of these picturesque white villages. We begin our tour in the historic heart of Torrox before travelling to the charming town of Cómpeta. Here, our first stop will be a family-owned wine cellar where we’ll get an understanding of muscat wine and naturally, savor it! Cómpeta’s reputation for high-quality wines is well-known throughout the region, making a visit to a wine cellar a compulsory part of our trip. Our final halt will be at Sayalonga, where we’ll relish an authentic Andalusian lunch prepared using locally sourced ingredients. Post-lunch, you’ll even have the chance to wander through Sayalonga’s narrowest alleyway, a testament to our Moorish history.

This full-day excursion comes with the convenience of round-trip hotel transfers from the coast between Nerja and Torre del Mar.

Great day in three small villages and one fantastic winery - How a wonderful day with Cipriano as our guide and driver. Learnt so much, saw the essence of the small villages and were absolutely blown away by the winery. Small and traditional and excellent wines.

A Day to Remember - We booked this tour direct on Oletrips website and received immediate confirmation of the booking. The day before the trip Maria both emailed and messaged the pick-up time. We were picked up on time from our hotel by our guide Cipriano who was an excellent driver and really good company. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything about the history and culture of the region and made the whole day so enjoyable. It was like having a dear friend showing you round their home town and area. We visited Torrox Pueblo, Competa and Sayalonga where we had lunch. Each stop was different and Cipriano was fantastic and full of interesting facts about each village. We would highly recommend Oletrips, Cipriano and Maria for an unforgettable experience.

Wonderful Wine - Another amazing tour with Cipriano who once again filled us with so much interesting information about everywhere we visited. The 3 wines that we tasted were very good and we even bought some to take home. We finished off the tour with another superb lunch before returning to Nerja. Cipriano is an excellent guide

Sun and Wine Route - It was an amazing tour, even if the sun didn't want to shine all day! The scenery and selected villages were worth the visit and I mustn't forget to mention the wine tasting at a small but very productive winery, which was excellent. Most of all Cipriano, our guide and driver was wonderful and very knowledgeable.

Highly recommended! - Highly recommended! A perfect day where all expectations were met; a skilled guide who spoke good English and had a lot of knowledge, great small towns, good food and delicious wine at the vineyard. The scenery on the trip was beautiful, and it was nice to be able to ask questions in such a small group. In addition, nice people to travel with! This was a great day!

Great tour with Cipriano from Ole Tours - Great tour with Cipriano - very knowledgeable and chatty who took us to places we might not have ever seen had we not been on the tour. The wine tour visit was very special - to see how much work it takes to produce the wine & the traditional methods used which has passed down from generation to generation made you very appreciative when tasting it. Last stop was lunch - the restaurant offered a good menu selection and the food was very tasty - I’d recommend the chicken on a skewer - delicious!

Excellent Tour Company - We did a tour with Cipriano on our last visit to Nerja and enjoyed it so much we booked two for this visit. In addition to the Sun and Wine tour, we also did the White Villages tour. Both were excellent. We are from the US and don't speak Spanish, but Cipriano's English is very good, so we had no problem understanding him. He is also a safe driver and Mercedes van he uses is comfortable for a group of up to eight. He has extensive knowledge of local culture, history and food and was able to provide comprehensive and interesting information throughout the tours. We have used many tour guides while traveling, and he is the best. The two tours went to off the beaten path places which are pretty, interesting and don't get many tourists. Both local restaurants he selected for lunch were excellent. The Oletrips office manager, Maria, was very responsive to question we had while booking and was kind enough to arrange an airport transfer between Malaga and Nerja even though that is not a service Ole provides. We highly recommend Oletrips

A day to remember 👌 - Totally enjoyed our trip around the three white villages with Cipriano, our guide & driver who is very knowledgeable on local Spanish history. Relaxed atmosphere with our small group of 8 people. Lovely lunch at the end of the day and being driven door to door topped off a perfect day out. Highly recommend Cipriano and Oletrips.
