Álora
Local Businesses
Álora sits right in the heart of the Guadalhorce Valley, its urban centre and old Moorish castle perched on top of a hill making for one of the most spectacular entrances to any town in Andalucía. The area itself is sometimes known as the Valle del Sol, due to the sunny weather it enjoys for most of the year.
The best-known nature parks in the area are El Chorro and the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes (the Gorge of the Bagpipers). The famous Caminito del Rey, a narrow and dangerous pathway that was built across the massive rock formation here.
Due to its train link to Malaga, Alora makes an ideal place to call home for those that enjoy the countryside lifestyle and don't find it essential to walk on the beaches everyday, but when they do they are only half an hour away
The village of Álora is built on a mountain so be warned the streets are steep, so will keep you fit. However, the village still retains the old spanish ways and the countryside around is great for horse riding or keeping horses.
