La Fanega

We are Martijn (42), Karin (41) and Noah (4). We have been living in Álora, Andalucia since november 2020. We have a finca not too far from town and live here with our dog Bamboo and the newest member of the family, Mapache the cat.

We run a small scale hostel next to our house. There is still a lot that needs to happen here. At the moment we mostly need help on the land where we are establishing a food forest. Weeding, preparing sites for planting etc. Sometimes we can also use some help with small DIY choirs.

You can experience life on the campo while still being close to a village. The people that live around us are very friendly. There are local fiestas to attend and the village is very lively. You can also meet people from around the world as they pass by and stay at our place.

Álora is a typical Andalucian white village, but more alive then others. There is a broad choice of restaurants and bars. It's not overrun with tourists, so you still get a taste of the real Spanish live.
We are fairly close (30 minutes by car) to one of the areas biggest attractions, Caminito del Rey. A 2 to 3 hour walk along side cliffs and above the Guadalhorce river. Furthermore there are a lot of hiking trails in the area and the area is popular with cyclists and climbers. Many big cities are within an 2 hour drive. Besides Málaga you can go to Cordoba, Granada, Sevilla or Ronda.
