In 1484 the Catholic Monarchs Isabella II and Charles V reconquered de town. By the way, the spanish novelist Cervantes worked here from 1587 to 1593 as a tax collector.

The location of Casa Altavista offers a 5 minute walk to the village. In Álora you will find everything necessary during your stay: supermarkets, fish and fruit market, pharmacy, bakery, banks, etc. and a variety of restaurants to enjoy the traditional cuisine and Andalusian 'tapas'. Álora is also well known for its beautiful Easter processions.

The most impressive around Álora is undoubtedly the rock formation called 'El Chorro' (nature reserve). This rugged cliffs area belongs to the municipality of Álora. On the cliffs over 100 metres above the Guadalhorce river gorge runs a walkway known as 'Caminito del Rey' which is currently being restored. With well over 1.000 climbing routes is 'El Chorro' one of the greatest climbing areas in Europe. The reservoirs in 'El Chorro' are three stunningly beautiful turquoise coloured lakes bordered by pine forests. A quiet place for a picnic, swimming, fishing or rent pedal boats and kayaks. The area is also frequented by hikers and mountain bike lovers.
