Sedella is a small, charming town and a local government area (called a municipality) in the Málaga province of southern Spain. It's part of the Andalusia region, which is an "autonomous community" – meaning it has its own government and laws, similar to a state.
Sedella is located about 54 kilometers (around 33 miles) from the big city of Málaga, which is the capital of the province. It's also 23 kilometers (about 14 miles) from Vélez-Málaga and 8 kilometers (about 5 miles) from Canillas de Aceituno. Just north of the village, you'll find the beautiful Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park.
