Coast/Beach:
The nearest beaches to Alora are Churianna, Malaga and Torremolinos all of which take 30 mins by car and 35 mins by train. Torremolinos is perfect for kids as you can park on the main promenade and at no charge. Marbella and Puerto Banus beaches are also great but parking is typically 10 euros for the day in the main underground car parks and take approx 40 mins to get to.
Golf:
There are some fabulous golf courses nearby – Lauro Golf, a 27 hole golf course and Alhaurin Gold, a 36 hole golf course are both 30 mins drive away.
Skiing:
2 hours drive from the skiing resort of Sierra Nevada. Granada is also worth a stop over.
Travel:
Malaga Airport is 30-35 minute drive or 45 mins by train. Car hire is not essential as Alora has a very good train and bus service. Although we now always hire a small car as there are so many places to visit locally. Go to our website for further information on local activities and more pictures of the house.
Airport collection is also available upon request and provides a seamless transition from the airport to your accommodation. Jerry & Viv who manage the house will pick you up for 50 euros.
