Plaza Almijara is the beating heart of Cómpeta: an intimate village square surrounded by white facades, a proud church and a motley collection of parasols dancing in the wind. Here you drink your café solo next to an old man with a cane or order a plate of albóndigas under an awning that gently clatters. The atmosphere is typically Andalusian: slow, warm and convivial. The bars serve simple tapas, the church watches silently and children's voices sound from the alleys. Even though the square is small in size, it feels grand in charm. A place where you linger for a second drink, just because it feels like it should.
We wander streets ourselves, climb stairs and read informational signs that no one else reads. For these tips, we dive into guidebooks, Facebook groups and local stories - but often the best things you just discover on the spot. Have you been somewhere that made an impression? Or is there something missing from our description? Let us know. We would love to collect your discoveries for the next person who sets out.
