Comares lies within the area of Axarquia, situated 25 kilometres inland from the coastal town of Torre del Mar and 35 kilometres from Malaga, with a population of 1,700.
It is perched on top of a conical hill at a height of 740 metres with coastal, lake and mountain views.
Comares is visible from the coast during the day as a cluster of white village houses and by night as a string of lights. The town is a point on the scenic Route of the Raisin.
The village and surrounding fincas form a lively community. There are no souvenir shops but several bars, restaurants and a very attractive hotel converted from an olive mill with coutyards overlooking breathtaking views.
When wandering around the steep and narrow streets you may find yourself invited into the home of a Spanish lady who sells local produce such as wine, almonds, raisins, olives, honey and cheese.
Comares dates from Medieval times and has a history of rebellion against Muslim and Christian rulers. Of interest to the visitor are a series of ceramic plaques which depict the village's history, Medieval arches and footprint paving tiles which are a guide to the main streets.
There is also an old Moorish fortress, once a Roman military outpost, known as La Tahona where two turrets are still intact. The church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación was built in the 16th century of Mudejar style.
