Private Plus to Cútar with Dar Alyyar and manuscripts, El Borge and Comares

Discover the best-kept secret of this land with this exclusive experience of The Treasure of Al-Andalus in the Axarquía: the Manuscripts of Cútar. A route from Malaga through the ‘White Villages’ of Moorish heritage, accompanied by an official guide throughout the tour, to immerse ourselves in the living history of the last Andalusians.

We are talking about an Axarquía that preserves its medieval layout and unalterable peace. In this Private Plus mode, we offer you a journey back in time to learn about the fortuitous discovery of some books that remained hidden behind a wall for 500 years. An enjoyable and profound experience, adapted to the pace of the traveller who seeks the real essence of our land.

Cútar and the mystery of the Manuscripts

Accompanied by a specialised official guide, we will delve into this village that guards an unprecedented documentary treasure:

• Andalusian Manuscripts: we will visit the interpretation centre where we will learn about the history of the ‘Alfaquí de Cútar’ and the books he hid to save his cultural legacy before the christian conquer.
• Mudejar architecture: we will stroll through its steep streets, discovering the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación and its urban layout, which has hardly changed since the 15th century.

Gastronomic tasting at DarAlayyar Restaurant

The historical finishing touch will be at DarAlayyar, a place that is much more than a restaurant:

• Tasting of Andalusian flavours: we will enjoy a tasting of local products and dishes that revive the recipes of Al-Andalus, understanding the connection between the land and history in every bite.

El Borge and Comares: The Balcony of the Axarquía

We will end the day by visiting two of the most picturesque villages in the region:

• El Borge: the birthplace of banditry and the capital of raisins, where we will walk through its decorated streets and learn about its strong Moorish heritage.
• Comares: perched on an imposing rock, this village is known as the ‘Balcony of the Axarquía’. We will explore its Arab layout, following the traces of its ancient walls and enjoying endless views of the Mediterranean and the mountains.
