Situated to the south-east of the province of Malaga, Velez is a twon that has more than 20 kilometres of coastline and mild climate that makes the town into a pleasant destination for a peaceful vacation. Its hotel offers are made up of as much of deep countryside installatiions in order to enjoy the rural enviroment, as of the excellent installations of the maritime yachting harbour of La Caleta.

The age-old tradition of Velez-Malaga still prevails amongst its narrow and winding streets of the district of La Villa, the city's original town centre. In its interior we can find some interestin examples of Mudejar Art, like "La Casa de Cervantes", the Church of "Santa Maria de la Encarnacion" or the coffered ceiling of the Palace of "El Marques de Beniel".

Velez-Malaga has various important Phoenician sites, of which can be highlighted "La Necropolis de Cerro del Mar y Jardin", or the remains found in "Lagos y Caleta de Velez". 

The festive calendar of Velez is full of feast and fairs, amongst which can be highlighted "La Real Feria de San Miguel", at the end of September, and the Fair of Santiago and Santa Ana in July.
