Make a holiday rental home or villa in Alozaina, Spain your home away from home

Located within the Malaga Province, and just 50km east of its principal city, Alozaina is an attractive village, which was once voted the prettiest in the whole of Spain. Times have changed little over the last couple of decades, with Alozaina sticking to its traditional ways of life and avoiding tourism on any real scale, but this in itself is enough to bring in a selection of visitors, who are attracted by the combination of unspolit countryside and a quaint village centre.

Things to do in Alozaina, Spain

The countryside around Alozaina is rich and varied, thanks to a strong agricultural history. If taking in the panoramic views from the comfort of your holiday rental accommodation in Alozania is not enough, you can put your walking boots on and head out for a hike. A popular trail takes visitors up to Ardite, a 459 metre hill that overlooks the Rio Grande valley and provides some scenic photography opportunities. Also well worth a day of your vacation is the Sierra de les Nieves National Park – a tranquil area that is home to an abundance of wildlife. Mountain biking and horse riding are other great ways to explore the local area.

The 14th century castle is the main attraction in the centre of the village, and though it was reconstructed in 1951, parts of the original Moorish tower still remain today. The Church of Santa Ana is also well worth a visit, and has also been rebuilt since its first remodelling in 1622, after originally being a mosque.

Amenities within the village are basic but adequate. Visitors do not come to this area of the province to experience a hectic nightlife and a broad range of tourist attractions, but all of the necessities are catered for, and you can easily spend a week or two without having to leave the boundaries of the village.
