Alora, Spain - A Place in the Sun

It's around a two hour flight from the Uk to Malaga airport and then it’s a 40 minute drive from there into the Adalucian countryside to Alora town. Alora itself is packed with whitewashed houses which sprawl up the hill to the magnificent remain of an ancient castle, the town’s economy is based on agriculture and the region is famous for fruit, olives and grape vines. Alora is a mainly Spanish working town, and it has it’s own festival known as the "Perotas Soup Day" dedicated to celebrating its most traditional dishes.

A two-bed, one-bath house with great outside space, including an outbuilding and an expansive terrace, perfect for al fresco dining. It also benefits from a utility room and a roof terrace with amazing views! View the property here.

This property has extensive land with incredible views, an outbuilding and a pool (although the swimming pool needs some work, it's a great asset).

It's popular with hikers and has a stunning natural resevoir.

Our fourth property has two and a half acres of land, and as it's a fairly new build (albeit in a traditional style), it's completely up to date and ready to move in to. Barriada Bellavista is a small urbanisation populated with rural guesthouses and peaceful detached homes. Situated halfway between El Churro and Alora – 10 minutes drive from both - it has the advantage of being close to all these centres have to offer. View the property here.
