Discover Alozaina: Holiday Apartments Between Nature and Culture

Alozaina lies within the sphere of influence of the Sierra de las Nieves National Park and belongs to the Sierra de las Nieves Biosphere Reserve. For travel planning, local trails and experiences can be compared by distance, duration, difficulty and theme, without having to consider nature and local culture separately.

Nature and Trails

The PR-A 273 Fuente Techa–Sierra Prieta route is a five-kilometre mountain hiking trail; the stated walking time of three and a half hours applies only to the outward journey, and the difficulty level is high. The Ruta de Maria Sagredo runs entirely through the centre of Alozaina and takes approximately 45 minutes. In the Jorox area, the El Charco de La Caldera route leads to a natural waterfall approximately 22 metres high and a hollow in the rock formed by mountain water.

For cyclists, there is the local Alozaina–Alozaina cycling route: it is six kilometres long, takes approximately 45 minutes and has a low difficulty level. The different distances, time estimates and difficulty levels make it easier to compare different day plans directly.

History and Culture

The Parque Mirador María Sagredo is located in a walled area that was reconstructed in the 1950s and is connected to the former fortress of Alozaina. From there, the views extend across the Sierra Prieta and the Hoya de Málaga. The present-day building of the Iglesia Parroquial de Santa Ana was almost entirely rebuilt between 1770 and 1774.

The Museo de Aperos y Costumbres Populares in Alozaina displays traditional tools used in agriculture and rural crafts. At the end of February, the Carnaval de la Harina continues the tradition of throwing flour; the festival includes costume competitions, the Baile de la Rueda and the Burial of the Sardine.
