Although this property is officially located within the municipality town of Pizzara, it is as close to the historical town of Alora, with 15,000 inhabitants, which was built on two hills on the edge of the Sierra del Hacho, and is the capital of the administrative Malagueñan division of the Valle del Guadahorce. It is a beautiful area of Andalucia with a warm climate all year round. Permanently green colours of olive trees and citric fruit groves, with almond trees covering surrounding hills. It has a great deal of history, the foundation of the Castle, for instance, dating back to phoenician times, which the Romans built onto and fortified. Alora is central to many natural beauty spots in Andalucia and visitors are attracted to the region for this, inspite of being so close to the Costa del Sol, Malaga and Marbella.
