ALORA, Valle del Sol

Alora, known as Valley of the sun, is 40 km. inland from Malaga and the Costa del Sol. One of the white towns and villages of the Guadalhorce Valley, it is built over three hills, one of which is majestically crowned with a Moorish castle.

With warm temperatures all year around , the Valley produces delicious oranges, tangarines and lemons that coat the Valley bottom in green.

The Valley is surrounded by hills covered mainly with olive and almond trees.

The town has developed modern facilities such as a Medical center, supermarkets, restaurants, banks, shops, a sports complex and a public swimming pool.

With its steep streets and white houses, the town has an unique Andalusian flavour.
The local people, known as "Perotes", are noted for their friendliness and hospitality.

In spite of the tourist development on the Costa del Sol, Alora has managed to retain its individuality and traditional way of life.
