ARDALES NATURAL PARK & EL CHORRO GORGE
Imagine three stunningly beautiful turquoise coloured lakes bordered by pine forests. A tranquil retreat where you can swim or fish, or picnic on the lakeshore. Hardly sounds like a typical Andalucian scene, does it! But west of Alora that is what you will find. Malaga's "Lake District" is in fact three artificial lakes created by a dam built across the dramatic 200 m. high Guadalhorce river gorge, known as the Garganta del Chorro. Watch out for the eagles, which continually circle around the sheer cliffs.

Guest comments
We came here for our honeymoon, and it was all as described, very tranquil, excellent. Booked again for next year. Mr Cox from Shropshire

Alora Castle Alora town ALORA sits right in the heart of the Guadalhorce Valley, its urban centre and old Moorish castle perched on top of a hill making for one of the most spectacular entrances to any town in Andalucía. The area itself is sometimes known as the Valle del Sol, due to the sunny weather it enjoys for most of the year. The best-known nature parks in the area are El Chorro and the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes (the Gorge of the Bagpipers). The famous Caminito del Rey, a narrow and dangerous pathway that was built across the massive rock formation here. The historians tell us that the name is Latin in origin, and there is a stone in the parish church with the inscription "municipium iluritanun", dated 79 B.C. We can thus deduce that this is the municipality of lluro, from where the present name most certainly derives. The name of the main street is so good they named it twice: Cervantes y Veracruz, and a stroll through the streets of Alora could well start in this main street. After crossing a small park the visitor then comes to the town centre, the Plaza Fuente Arriba (fountain at the top) a square which owes its name to its situation at the top end of the town, where the Town Hall is also to be found. The old part of town starts here, and a tour could continue along Calle de Parra which is lined with the older, but well kept houses of Alora. A little further up is the monument to the "faenera", a name given to the women who used to pack the crops of lemons, oranges, plums and almonds, and the oil. From here, a slope leads down to the Encarnación church, the third biggest in the province. Alora has been populated since pre-historic times, to judge by the cave paintings found in the Cueva de Doña Trinidad in the Hoyo del Conde area about a kilometre outside the town. Later on, the phoenicians built the castle, which was fortified by the Romans. The town came under the domination of the Crown of Castille in 1484, when it was conquered by Ferdinand and Isabella, and a rebellion during the reign of Felipe II, on the part of the Moriscos, ended with the sale as prisoners of many of the rebels. The money raised by these means went to build the foundations of the Veracruz church. In the 17th century, Alora gained its independence as a municipality from the city of Malaga.
