Competa is in one hour driving distance from Malaga airport.
We advise to hire a car for your holiday stay. It is a must if you are going to rent Finca el Regalo (look at links for rent-a-car agency) but the bus and railway services are cheap in Spain (the price one way Competa-Malaga ~ 5 euro). Every 15 min the bus no 19 is running from Malaga Airport to Central Bus Station where one of 3 buses/day to Competa can be picked up.

4. Is there any swimming pool in Competa?
2 swimming pools (communal and near the Hotel Balcon de Competa.) The Balcon de Competa hotel has a lovely pool/bar area and tennis courts. The price is 6 Euro per day pass (half price for children), which gives you multiple entry, towel and sun lounger. Just a few minutes drive from Cómpeta in Canillas de Albaida, a traditional white village you can find less crowded & cheaper swimming pool (only7 min by car)
The Costa del Sol beaches are a 25 minute scenic drive away. We advise you one of the beach access in Nerja or the surroundings.
Courts can be booked at the Hotel Balcon de Competa (4 euro/ hour)
The nearest Baviera Golf court (18 holes) in Caleta de Valez (25 min by car), Anoreta Golf court or any other of many golf clubs of the region.
