My Almogía the beautiful olive and almond between Malaga and exquisite
verdiales cradle.
The streets of my Almogía
and shine like the sun shining white
have
are filled with the joy in my heart.
Almogía lands
filled with almond Green Spot which precedes our arrival. Plateau of gentle undulations, the path winds like a serpent tarred. After every turn there is a new. Old farms dot forgotten our path, restored farmhouses that look new and modern mansions. We passed small grupete cyclists. Moving slowly along the road, marked the traces of fatigue on his face, clenched teeth, the smile only draw in the heart of the bravest. Almogía required to reach it. Although in the past was part of the highway that connected Madrid with Malaga (even in antiquity it passed a Roman road), and became the last stop for travelers before they reach the capital, new roads have made it an idyllic mountain redoubt, relatively close to the coast, which has led to an unusual growth in the form of new development, but able to maintain, without fading, the whole essence of white people Andalusia. Its geostrategic position, placed him in a position to control the traffic of people and goods. Almogía from the Antequera region is the last site located on a plateau plain false, since the town began sharp bends, gullies unusual, the maze of roads. Not surprisingly, Almogía forms the heart of the Montes de Malaga.
to the shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
the town seems to collapse into the valleys, divest from the Torre de la Vela down like a waterfall tight white houses. We parked at the top of the village, knowing that everything will go down to upload it later, but we consider it unwise to venture into the unfamiliar maze of streets and alleys that is the moorish urban design. The best and thorough way to learn these ancient roots municipalities and urban center itself is twisted on walking, walking, getting lost, see face to face with its people, sucking their unusual flavors in large cities. In this way, go down the lane street as directed by the display panels to the city center and the Torre de la Vela. We bought the obligatory post in a tight (a little old, but with character) with intent 
writing at the time of the meal. Spotted after the first corner of the town remains Almogía Castle, which once had seven towers and now only holds up one of them, the Torre de la Vela, which is situated on a natural promontory. Lane continue along the street, we observe between a rock and the consistory Moorish football a house that seems to serve as particular small ethnographic museum. We looked. Old farm implements, household-twenties, the reconstruction of a house of yesteryear. We continued our descent down to the Place de la Ermita. A haven where five horizontal iron benches invite, under the shadow of three oranges, the rest. We let ourselves be overcome by this simple temptation. Before us lies the shrine of the Sacred Heart 
Heart of Jesus. The chapel, built in the eighteenth century, was part of the former convent of the same name still appears today embedded in the corner of two houses, almost camouflaged with white walls of adjacent buildings. Inside the small temple are images of the two patrons of the town, San Roque and San Sebastián. It is located in this quiet road a very pleasant sensation. The temperature warm but not warm, the delicate shade of orange and perfume, the bustle of everyday life. We took our time before getting up to continue our journey.
to the chapel of Santo Cristo
Almogía give off the streets of strong food flavors, food loudly and serrano. Chanfaina (lamb with almond dressing), stews, soups, and gazpachuelo salmorejo, the dish of the mountains (a powerful combination of fried eggs, sausages, etc.). are some of their culinary offerings. The streets are cut, the indications we are taking up San Sebastian 
down. Soon we see the bell tower of the church that stands out from the rooftops, following a curve of the track. We arrived at his door was open. Temple is a powerful, majestic. The tower reaches a considerable height. The interior of the church of Our Lady of the Assumption surprises us by having a series of side chapels historiadísimas and complex architecture, as well as the blue color is apparent from their windows and flooding the altar. The wood paneling is impressive, with braces and bridges carved subject to a minimum. The temple was erected in the sixteenth century, but was heavily restored in the nineteenth century. The origin of this extensive renovation was suffered Málaga earthquake late nineteenth century and that affected the entire province, especially as females Axarquía 
told you in this blog 
travel. We left the church. In the lower part of town we find some stately homes, which reveal some flashy. We reached the square of the Constitution, which part Sevilla Street surprises us with two unusual items. A great arc above some narrow stairs and climb the right wall, a large mural in sepia tones with ancient text and images on which explained and highlights the history of the town. In the square itself, a source of five pipes cooled with their murmur to the tables that surround it. Several Moorish and several visitors have sat on them, a 
mid-morning snack. On the basis of the source can read the following statement signed by Vicente Fernandez Andrada "Almogía the forgotten and always loved and longed for." From the square partly Cristo Street, where you are, just twenty meters from the small chapel of the same name. Built in the seventeenth century and restored necessarily in the nineteenth century is a very small temple, with a simple image in its interior. Before coming to the chapel we found several houses with large hall covers in the home as drown in the cool shade of their privacy. Many Almogía doors remain open to allow entry of warm air of the street. No desire to gossip, catch a glimpse of everyday scenes. A woman who removes a pot, a child playing on a carpet, an old man carving a stick in a courtyard. Some of them greet us gentle.
La Torre de la Vela
retrace our steps to the entrance of the church. From the right side street, Wind Street, an indication leads us to the Torre de la Vela. Children play quiet streets and pedestrian streets up and down, sing nursery rhymes and fell into conversation with them. Two boy and girl, are rubies and blue eyes. We speak English and Castilian in hand. Almogía The relative proximity to the capital of the province has made considerable population has a foreign resident. Later, when we prepare to eat, we will together with a handful of English men and women to greet their neighbors with kindness Moors. Arise from the patios and open aromas of ancient pot. The ascent to the Torre de la Vela 
not particularly hard, runs through a series of streets, suddenly become viewpoint. Comes almost at once, a low wall of white color that contrasts with the scenery visible in the background. And abrupt green dotted with white spots in the form of cottages converted from farmhouses, farms. We stopped, we support the arms on the wall and watched the scenery with relish. The village of Almogía down to the valley to the right, walk the trails and tracks the back of the nearby mountains, the 
s most distant 
lost in the haze. We stay there for a while, with the figure of the point of leaning tower. We arrived at Sheep Street and continue on our left, so we got Torre de la Vela. Only a rest, but still impressive, and helps us imagine what had to be that strength that participated in the Ben Omar Hafsún revolts against the dome of the Umayyad Cordoba. A horse grazes on the promontory and that allows the imagination even more acute. It remains a Moor riding. From the Torre de la Vela gives a magnificent panoramic environment. Towards
victuals and secondary roads
From here go down High Street until you reach the road back to San Sebastian. Ascending and our climb will be rewarded, Chiquetete stopped at the bar, a local along the road that will take us to Malaga. We, from the brief menu that includes fried fish fry, a skewer of chicken and pork loin. To drink, a cola and a bottle of water pints. From the terrace we found the bustle, the coming and going of cars and people. We tasted the dishes, which 
come with fries and aioli, with delight. The total bill is 22 euros. Before leaving we asked the waiter for the best way to get to Malaga. - Still here and about two miles before the road forks to the left is on the old road is paved and in good condition but with many curves, right and begins a huge cost. The road is not paved, but has a concrete path is shorter, has fewer curves and reaches Bells, "he explains. - And you, what would you choose? - We asked. - No doubt the costs, "we respond. Farewell
And so we do. We stopped before starting our return, at a lookout that offers a comprehensive overview of Almogía on the mountain. The gazebo, decorated with small tiles offers all the shields of the municipalities in the province of Malaga. We look for the 16 that we have yet to visit in this journey that is The Color Blue Sky. Throw a couple of photos to the white houses and imagine the bustle that had to have these roads before trails, paths and roadways in antiquity. The Romans, Arabs and Mozarabic, Moorish, Christian forces, the bourgeoisie Madrid and Malaga in a continuous coming and going. Malaga Almogía hides many secrets and is one of them.
