At 400 m, the weather on Finca Cencerrita is slightly different to the coast.  It is generally 2 or 3 degrees cooler - particularly in the heat of the summer with the cooling mountain breezes we have. We are low enough that our heads are not in the clouds, but high enough that we escape the sea mists that creep up through the valley below.

Apart from July, August and perhaps June, we always recommend you bring something warm and preferably windproof for outside - and slippers for the tiled floors inside.

The breeze in the cooler months can be quite cutting - but there is always somewhere to sit out of it ... and the walkers are positively glad of it!

When to Visit: Cencerrita is rarely stiflingly hot in the summer as at 400m we enjoy the cooling mountain breezes. In the springtime the hills are covered with a multitude of wild flowers and butterflies.  The autumn has cool nights, but normally wonderfully warm days - Even in winter the temperature during the day often reaches 30oC in sheltered corners and the mountains are beautifully green - mid-January to February the hillsides are covered in pink and white almond blossom - amazing! .  In the valley the citrus fruits are ripe in the groves providing additional colour.

 

ç The nearest we get to snow is the lovely view of the Sierra de las Nieves - the Snowy Mountains - to the west.

Okay, now you've seen the blue skies - now take a look at some of the others! Bad Weather

Google Earth

Select the business tab in the top left and just write "Cencerrita" and it takes you right to us! The roads drawn in white on Google earth should be taken "with a pinch of salt"- at least in our area - they are not particularly accurate.  For example, it shows a through road going right across Cencerrita - this, we can assure you, does not exist!!

We also laughed at the route Google gives you from Malaga Airport ... you wouldn't so much need a 4 x 4 as a helicopter! Don't worry though, we provide you with very precise directions ... which work!
