Un poco de nuestra historia
En el siglo XVIII, Málaga fue conocida en el mundo entero por la exportación de sus vinos.
Estos vinos procedentes de viñas cultivadas en los Montes de Málaga (hoy Parque Natural) se elaboraban en casas llamadas “lagares”.
En 1878 con la llegada de la filoxera (enfermedad de la vid) procedente de Francia, las viñas son destruidas.
Los habitantes de los Montes de Málaga se ven obligados a abandonar sus “lagares” en busca de otras formas de vida.
La mayoría de familias emigran a América y los lagares se convierten en ruinas o son transformados.
Apenas unos pocos llegan a nuestros días.

Lagar los Pilones hoy
Lagar los Pilones es un ejemplo de esta antigua forma de vida,
Se ha conservado gracias a que ha pasado de padres a hijos durante muchas generaciones.
En el año 2003 fue rehabilitado respetando su estructura original y conservando los elementos de elaboración del vino como la prensa, que estrujaba la uva o las grandes tinajas de barro enterradas en el suelo donde fermentaba el vino.
Hoy en día, Lagar los Pilones es un lugar de encuentro para familias de varias generaciones. Abuelos, padres y nietos que no se ven tanto como desearían o grupos de amigos que quieren disfrutar juntos de sus vacaciones.

¿QUÉ PIENSAN NUESTROS HUÉSPEDES DE LAGAR LOS PILONES?
We trust Carmen a lot because for 5 years we spent our vacations in her beautiful house Lagar los Pilones (the best house we have known in 15 years traveling to Andalucia) .That is why, this last summer I wanted, unexpectedly, to extend my vacation and she offered me his newly opened house What to say about this House? The photos simply cannot do this incredible setting justice., On clear days you can see the sea, while at night time the lights from the coastal town of Velez Malaga shine bright in the distance. You can expect amazing morning lighting and ambience thanks to its privileged south east position. we witnessed some of the best sunrises we had ever seen! There are several terraces each having spectacular views and we'd alternate between them for mealtimes, sunset drinks and stargazing.We particularly liked the large pergola which offers the perfect amount of shade for outdoor meals and often used the a magnifica BBQ WEBER to make dinner (stopping at the supermarket for supplies on the way from Malaga airport is a good idea even if you find supermarkets near the house). There are lots of places in the sun and shade, whatever your preference. The house stayed nice and cool inside despite it being 35 degrees plus outside. Inside, Carmen has printed her style. The villa has 4 bedrooms and a large living room. All elegantly furnished and comfortable. In regards to privacy, even though you can spot other villas on the distant hillside, your location remains nicely secluded and quiet, which means you should not be overlooked. It's a place to truly relax, but close enough to the crowded beaches and resorts for day trips. We visited the beaches at Marbella and Nerja and Málaga, as well as heading to Granada one day to see the Alhambra which was definitely worth the 1 hour round trip. The villa is located in the mountains just north of Malaga city (25 minutes) and 7 minutes from the village of Colmenar, an authentic white-washed Spanish village. Here we have made our purchases. The local sausages are really good. There are many bars and restaurants. We loved La Taberna de Flores, in the center of town and dinner on the terrace of the Belen Restaurant. Here the food is authentic Spanish and the daily menu prices are very cheap.
I think it would be hard to find a better accommodation in the Colmenar area with such ambiance and views. We found the location very suitable for day trips to Malaga, Granada, Cordoba, etc. Also, had one of our better meals of our entire trip at La Taberna de Flores in Colmenar.

Fantastic location !!! The views are spectacular, the house incredibly well appointed, comfortable with everything you could want. Outdoor spaces, lovely terraces. The house was immaculate throughout. The pool was bright and inviting, it was bigger than we expected. The nearest town, Colmenar, was a charming little place where we enjoyed good meals and the occasional morning coffee. There is a small churros stand every morning if you like a traditional breakfast. The villa is only 35 minutes from Malaga airport, which was great for us as we had some guest exchanges at midnight. It is a perfect place to relax and spend the day and night with friends in a splendid house with spectacular scenery. Finally, the owner of the villa was extremely welcoming and helpful, which made our stay that little bit more special. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough!
En skøn bolig med god plads og fine udenoms omgivelser. Dog er poolen meget kold og vi havde ikke så meget glæde af den som forventet. Men vi havde trods alt et dejligt ophold og vi giver Carmen de bedste anbefalinger.
A beautiful house. The view was amazing. The only small problem was finding a taxi that would come to the house because they did not understand the address, but with a little explanation they found it..! Carmen was amazing and gave us tips & responded quickly if we had any questions. We had an amazing & unforgettable trip 🙂
Lovely House! Great view, 10min to supermarket, clean, all you need in the house, sweet host. Really good stay.
Pasamos una semana maravillosa. La casa esta perfecta y lejos de la agitacion de la costa. Pudimos visitar los olrededores y aprovechar de la tranquilidad del lugar con un vista magnifico
Maravillosa !!! Los mejores paisajes, la vista! Cómoda, limpia,todo perfecto para unos días de descanso. Sus anfitriones muy majos.
Super friendly and proactive host, good value for money accommodation, quiet area with great views and plenty of outdoor seating. Overall a lovely stay! Thanks a lot!
This is a house with spectacular view for sunsets and sunrises. It is at 850m height and therefore it is slightly colder than in the cities down. It has lots of areas to relax and is very cosy. Thumbs up for the extra fridge for the drinks! We haven't met Carmen but she was responsive to all our questions.
Upeat vuoristonäkymät, kiva uima-allas. Rauhallinen, tilava. Sopii hyvin 8 hengelle ja lapsille.

Vi hade en underbar vecka! Carmens hus är en av de bästa Airbnb som vi bott i under de senare åren. Allt man behöver för en lugn och avkopplande semester finns här!
