Álora is a town of southern Spain in the province of Málaga; 17 m. W.N.W. of Málaga, on the right bank of the river Guadalhorce, and on the Córdoba-Málaga railway. Pop. (1900) 10,525, (2002) 12,538.
Álora, which is an ancient and picturesque town, with several Moorish ruins, occupies an outlying hill of the Sierra de Tolox, and overlooks a fertile valley where maize, sugarcane and date palms are cultivated. There are hot sulphurous springs in the town, which has also a fine climate; and many of the wealthy families from Malaga reside here in summer. Brandy distilling is, after agriculture, the chief local industry |
The tribes which first migrated to Alora seem to have been attracted by the high mountains which surround the valley of the River “Guadalhorce”, situated on the slopes of Mount Hacho where the natural springs bubble over the beautiful ever green valley of Málaga.
