General
:
If you hire a car, we meet you in the local village to guide you to Casita Maria - we do not want you to get lost on the first day of your holiday! This is a great relief to most ... especially when arriving in the dark!
For those who may not wish to rent a car, we can provide a "taxi" service to Alora and Estacion de Cartama - please check before booking your holiday. We can also pick you up and drop you off at Malaga Airport - 35 euros each way - this includes stopping at the supermarket to pick up supplies on your way up the mountain.
