Apartments for Sale in Alozaina

Alozaina sits at roughly 500 metres above sea level in the valley of the Guadalhorce river, about 50 kilometres inland from the coast. The village itself is compact, with narrow cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and a central plaza that serves as the social hub. The surrounding countryside is agricultural, with smallholdings growing almonds, olives, and citrus. The Sierra de las Nieves national park lies to the west, offering walking routes and cooler summer temperatures. The nearest beach is around an hour by car, and Hospital Valle del Guadalhorce provides regional healthcare. The property mix in Alozaina reflects its rural character. Inside the village you will find two and three bedroom townhouses, many of them older buildings with original features such as wooden beams and terracotta floors. Some have been renovated, others are sold as renovation projects. Outside the village centre there are cortijos and fincas, typically on plots of one hectare or more, often with their own water supply from wells or springs. A small number of modern villas have been built on the edges of the village in recent years, but the majority of stock is traditional. Garages are not standard in older townhouses, and parking in the narrow streets can be tight. Life in Alozaina is quiet and rooted in local routine. The village has a few shops, bars, a bakery, a health centre, and a primary school. For supermarkets, secondary schools, and most services you will need to drive to nearby Coín or Alhaurín el Grande, both around fifteen minutes away. The community is small and Spanish-speaking, with a modest number of foreign residents. Fiesta events and local traditions remain a strong part of village life. The pace is slow, and the setting is genuinely rural. Alozaina suits buyers looking for an affordable entry into rural Andalucia, those wanting land or a renovation project, and anyone prioritising peace and countryside over proximity to the coast. It is not a resort village and does not offer international infrastructure. You will need a car for daily life. The appeal here is authenticity, space, and lower cost, rather than convenience or coastal access.
