    Hiking

    Álora, located in the province of Málaga, is a historical treasure that seduces with its charm. Its emblematic castle of Álora, majestic on top, and the Church of La Encarnación stand out as cultural landmarks. Known as the "gateway to the Gaitanes Gorge", it serves as an access point to the famous Caminito del Rey.

    The cobblestone streets and cozy squares invite you to stroll, while the authentic local cuisine completes the experience. Álora, with its rich heritage and welcoming atmosphere, stands as a tourist destination in itself in the beautiful region of Malaga.

    A very pleasant little place with narrow streets (but also traffic) and some buildings worth seeing. With the cuisine mentioned in the other tip you have to limit it a bit - finding a suitable restaurant here is definitely a challenging task.

    Hiking

    Álora is a small town in the province of Málaga in Andalusia, about 40 kilometers northwest of Málaga city. It is located in the Valle del Guadalhorce, an agricultural region, and has a population of around 13,000. The town is known for its typical Andalusian architecture with white houses and narrow streets.

    Álora has a long history dating back to Roman times. Later, under Moorish rule, it was of strategic importance, as can still be seen today in the Castillo de Álora – a castle located on a hill above the town.
