Buenos Días, we are Marcel and Mandy. At Casa Tragabalas we’ve created a peaceful retreat where guests can relax, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of our mountain. From the very beginning, we felt the special energy of this place and knew it was the perfect setting to share our dream. Marcel is a holistic therapist and Reiki master/trainer, and also has a passion for semi-professional barbecuing. Mandy is an experienced coach and HR professional with a background in guiding people and organisations through growth and change. Together we bring different skills and perspectives that complement each other, and we regularly collaborate with trusted partners to offer unique retreats and programmes. Whether you’re joining us for a holiday, to gain new insights, or simply to soak up the Spanish sun and nature, we look forward to welcoming you. Let us host you with warmth, light, and care.

Magical Cómpeta is a traditional Andalusian village, famous for its whitewashed houses, winding cobbled streets, and spectacular views of both the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. With its Moorish heritage, the charm of the village is reflected in the architecture, culture, and warm community spirit. Cómpeta is lively year-round, offering authentic Spanish shops, cafés, and restaurants, along with a calendar full of festivals. The Feria de Verano at the end of July fills the streets with music and dance, while the Noche del Vino on 15 August celebrates the grape harvest with local wine, flamenco, and festivities late into the night. Be sure to try the region’s speciality, Vino de Cómpeta — a sweet wine that’s a true local delicacy. The surrounding Axarquía region is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers. Nestled against the Sierra de Almijara mountains, the area offers endless opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, and scenic walks. For a change of pace, the beaches of the Costa del Sol are only a 25-minute drive away, with a mix of lively and untouched spots to explore. Málaga airport is just under an hour from the village, making access easy. Thanks to its mountain setting (638m above sea level), Cómpeta is also pleasantly cooler than the coast in summer. From here, day trips to Andalusia’s highlights are within easy reach: Nerja and its famous caves, the picture-perfect village of Frigiliana, the hidden hamlet of El Acebuchal, the dramatic Caminito del Rey walkway, the refreshing Rio Chillar, skiing in the Sierra Nevada, and of course, the world-famous Alhambra in Granada. ✨ For more tips, photos, and inspiration, visit our website.
