 The lands of Benamocarra are an example of the less abrupt type of La Axarquía landscape, Its territory is a succession of hills, on one of which-La Quera- the village sits, while the rest abound with olive, almond, orange and lemon trees and, since some years back and just as in a large part of this region of La Axarquía, the subtropical crops on which much of the local economy is based. The urban district is entirely characterised by traditional architecture, with low houses of at most two stories marking out the streets and alleys, some of them very steep, and with small squares here and there, providing open spaces in the classic Moorish street plan. How to Get There:
Access to Benamocarra from the Costa del Sol is by turning off the Mediterráneo Expressway (A-7, N-340) onto the A-335 at Vélez Málaga. The MA-135 turns off that road and goes straight to Benamocarra


 Patria chica del ilustre compositor Eduardo Ocón, Benamocarra es otro de los pueblos malagueños de la Comarca de la Axarquía, que forma parte de la Ruta del Sol y del Aguacate. De origen árabe, como su propio nombre, que significa hijos de Mukarran, el municipio presenta un casco urbano de calles irregulares y en pendientes, con casas que se adaptan al terreno. En este típico conjunto, destacan: la Iglesia de Santa Ana, obra del siglo XVI con torre campanario del estilo mudéjar propio de la comarca; la Plaza del Calvario, en la parte más alta del pueblo; la Plaza de la Constitución y la Plaza de Eduardo Ocón. También es interesante la casa en la que nació el ilustre compositor, identificada con una placa conmemorativa. Situado en el interior de la Axarquía, a 126 metros sobre el nivel del mar, Benamocarra se encuentra a sólo 4 kilómetros de Vélez-Málaga y a 41 de la ciudad de Málaga.
