Alora Near Malaga

These photos from the small town of Alora just 40 kilometers inland from Malaga show just how steep the streets are in these out of the way places. With hardly any of the streets wide enough to take a car, it must be really hard work for the elderly residents to get about and even do the simplest of things like just nipping to the local shop !

Alora near Malaga

The tiny village of Alora is just a few kilometres inland from Malaga, and is easily accessible by train on the local line for only about 2-3€ return!



When the train arrives at the station there is a small bus waiting to take passengers up to the 'town centre'.
This journey itself is an experience as the bus weaves in and out of the narrow roads as it climbs up the mountain.
Once at the top you have views of all the country side for miles around and a nice selection of shops to browse around.
