Whilst based in our Castle View Guesthouse, here is a sample of the culture you will experience in Alora...
Cuisine
The cuisine of Alora uses the traditional Mediterranean ingredients
of olives, almonds and citrus fruits. There are some delicious local
dishes, including sopa porota, based on a garlic broth with croutons
and a revuelta of scrambled eggs with spring onions and vegetables.
Crafts
Castanets are just one of the hand-crafted items that are made in
Alora and are one of the most typical instruments used for the traditional
dance of the verdiales.
Fiestas
Alora's main fiesta is the flamenco festival which is held annually
in June. Another popular traditional event is the Romería
de la Virgen de las Flores which takes place in the middle of September
and is one of the best places to enjoy, first-hand, the traditional
verdiales.
