Ojén Village

Ojén is close enough to Marbella to go up for dinner, yet it keeps the feel of an inland village, with the Fuente de los Chorros fountain on the church square, a 19th-century olive mill turned museum and an upper floor devoted to the aguardiente spirit that made the town's name. The caves above the village are used for summer concerts, and the Refugio de Juanar hiking trails to the Mirador de la Concha viewpoint start a short drive beyond. Sunday lunch is popular with Marbella families, so book.
