In this small Flamenco museum in Calle Ramón Franquelo in Málaga you can find lots of information about the history of Flamenco dance and Flamenco music. The Museo de Arte Flamenco de la Peña Juan Breva is the result of incessant activity of Club 'Peña Juan Breva' who runs this museum for over fifty years, exclusively devoted to Flamenco. It is named after the famous Flamenco singer Juan Breva from Málaga.
The museum has two floors with various works of art, 20 valuable guitars, which in some cases have a history of more than two centuries; reproducing apparatus, posters, shawls, tail coats, works of art dating from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and important bibliographic and phonograph funds.

The Axarquia includes 31 white villages, called pueblos blancos, beautifully located between the hills planted with grapevines, olives, almonds, mangos and avocados. Festivals are an important part of life in southern Spain especially during the summer months when every village has its own “feria” (fair) and often they celebrate their own local produce. Thus, in Canillas de Aceituno, the celebration is around El Morcillo (the famous black pudding in the 2nd weekend in May), the coastal villages and towns including Torre del Mar, Caleta de Velez Torrox and Nerja all celebrate "El Noche de San Juan" on the 23rd June and on the 15 August Competa celebrates “El Noche y Dia del Vino”.

What few people know is that all European avocados are of Andalusian origin, and that as many as eighty per cent come from the Axarquia. This is very lucrative for the region and in recent years we have seen that where there used to be cranes to build houses or apartments, increasingly there are now excavators at work to make room for farming the land again, especially for growing avocados. Where ever we drive, from El Borge, Almachar, Benamargosa or Competa and Algarrobo to the coast this is the case. Even on the way to Canillas de Aceituno there is a huge field in 'construction', therefore it provides a boom to the region because it means jobs for local people as well as making the landscape more attractive.
