AREA : ALORA
INTRODUCTION : The town of Alozaina occupies a slightly high position in the western region of the Guadalhorce valley. Its lands extend from the Rio Grande valley, to the south, up to the peak of the Sierra Prieta to the north, thus joining the lands of the valley with the western mountains of the Serrania de Ronda.
HISTORY : The presence of man in these lands goes back to the Neolithic period, judging by the signs left in the Tajo de Jorox caves. But the first vestiges of urbanism are in the Roman period, as well as family settlements in the Ardite area.
PLACES TO VISIT : The second most important religious structure in the town is the Ermita del Sagrado Corazon (sacred heart), located in the upper part of the town. The building we see today was built in the 18th century and has a small choir and bell tower, originally used by nuns living in an adjoining convent that was demolished in the 19th century. The town also has a shrine of Christ the Saint on the cross in calle Santo Cristo, the only surviving example of no less than fourteen that were erected around the town.
