Authentic Old Townhouse overlooking Historic Plaza

I love this house! It overlooks the old town square; sits opposite the 300 year old church and behind the even older Moorish castle and is at the heart of this historic old quarter. Step outside the front door into life in this fascinating town, step back in and relax in a comfortable and spacious house – and enjoy the wonderful views from the roof terrace over the square, the rooftops of the town and the countryside around El Hacho, the local mountain. The old town of Alora is still a pueblo blanco (white-walled village) with narrow whitewashed streets, steep slopes, churches, lemon trees, coffee shops and bars where people gather, and the old square is at the heart of this and the traditional Andalucian life it represents. Alora has a rich history and there are plenty of places to visit but Alora is not just a historic town: It has a more modern quarter with reasonable and interesting shops and many bars and restaurants, all within walking distance. Whether you prefer quiet bars, like the one in the square, or the lively chaos of Kana’s (thankfully) on the other side of town, there’s a bar you will like. Similarly restaurants, Casa Abilio has the reputation but there are many others, the simple family run El Pelli, the quirky Casita de Aperros (The Tool Shed), Correos – the old post office, the venta La Higuera with it’s splendid views and the rural Roca Bella in the mountains come to mind. Plus, tapas, tapas, tapas wherever you go! So everything you could want, really! Explore traditional Spain, live life in this fascinating town, eat in pleasant restaurants, walk in delightful countryside but most of all, relax and enjoy the fantastic atmosphere – wonderful.
