Casa Rural EL CANAL 2LM, Campillos Overview
Casa Rural EL CANAL 2LM is a countryside base in Campillos, Spain, set along the Carretera de Antequera road, which makes it a practical stop for road-trippers exploring Málaga’s interior. Guests typically talk about the privacy and pace of the stay, with enough space for groups to spread out and unwind after a day on the road. The standout for many visitors is the outdoor setup: you can cool off in the swimming pool and linger in the garden, and the BBQ facilities make it easy to turn an evening in into a simple, social meal. On cooler nights or after longer excursions, the hot tub/Jacuzzi and solarium add a welcome change of rhythm.
Families find the layout workable thanks to family rooms and the fact that children are welcome, while pet-friendly policies help travelers who don’t want to leave companions behind. Reviews commonly mention the ease of settling in, including private check-in/check-out, and the practical bonus of free on-site parking, which matters on rural routes where you want to come and go without thinking.

For a bigger outing, the Caminito del Rey near Ardales sits around 70 km away, offering a memorable half- or full-day adventure.
Casa Rural EL CANAL 2LM is best for families and pet owners who want a quiet base with outdoor downtime, plus for anyone comfortable driving to major sights rather than staying in a city center.
