Alora enjoys a privileged
location in the Guadalhorce Valley, which it overlooks from the
north, standing atop a small hill. As well as its vegetable gardens,
orchards and citrus trees, it also boasts interesting AREAs nearby,
such as Los Gaitanes Pass (which it shares with Ardales and Antequera),
the Sierra de Huma and the Sierra de Aguas.
Its urban layout, of Arabic origin, gives it a special charm, which
must be enjoyed without haste, due to the steep nature of its streets,
which lead up to the symbol of the village: the castle, made even
more curious by the fact that it is now used as a cemetery.
The highlight of Alora's buildings is Our Lady's Church.
