Álora town houses
There seem to be town houses in the town of Alora. Why not hire a luxury town house to enjoy a luxury holiday in the great historic town full of sun and hot weather. I expect there still some going, but there might not be anymore. Who knows why do you check if there any town houses in such a great little town.
Alora 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.
In the UK Ireland and in many other countries, a townhouse was a residence of a peer or member of the aristocracy in the capital or major city. Most such figures owned one or more country houses in which they lived for much of the year.
The town of Alora crowns a small hill over the Guadalhorce river. The castle's towers, once vigil to the comings and goings of men and inland merchandise, in the Bobastro domains, out stand over the city, which shelters discretely between 2 small headlands and the powerful Hacho mountain (559 m.) From a distance, it is a typical pueblo blanco; a whitewashed village nestled between three rocky spurs topped by the ruins of a magnificent castle which has an interesting history. Alora's castle was first built by the Phoenicians and subsequently expanded under Roman rule. In the 5th century the castle was virtually destroyed by the Visigoths, only to be rebuilt under the Moors; remnants of this era still remain, namely the decorative steel door and the traditional Arab mirador
