Finca la Piedra is an olive grove, situated 6Km North West of Álora over looking the Guadalhorce Valley. We have two Cabañas which are located in an elevated position (alt. 340m) and have spectacular views of the Sierra de Aguas and Los Gaitanes Natural Park.

This is the area where the Guadlhorce River cuts deeply into the bedrock massif to form the El Chorro Gorge. The Gorge and the surrounding rock walls provide some of the best rock climbing in Europe. The Sierras and Natural Park areas are ideal for long and short walking days on good tracks or wild footpaths, good maps are available.

The nearest town Álora is typically Andalucian with a mix of old white painted houses and new apartments fronting onto steep narrow streets, built on three hills, the highest of which has the remains of a Moorish Castle.
There are many shops and a Monday Street Market in the lower square. From Álora station there is a regular service to Malaga on the coast and inland to Cordoba, and on to Madrid. From Malaga, trains run down the coast to the airport, to Torremolinos and finally Fuengirola. We do recommend you hire a car as the Finca is isolated, but within short driving distance of lots of beautiful and interesting locations.

For the more adventurous walkers and skiers the Sierra Nevada mountains and mainland Spain’s highest peak Mulhacen (3482m) is only two hours drive away. Overnight accommodation can be arranged, and accompanied ski trips can be organised. Good snow conditions occur from early December to late April.

Cabaña El Hacho has views of the local cliff known as El Hacho (599m) and further west to the Sierra de los Aguas(949m). Cabaña El Chorro has views of the los Guitanes Natural Park and Sierra de Aguas. There is a small pool for the use of guests.
