location of alhaurin el grande ON THE COSTA DEL SOL
A moderately sized town located in the Malaga province, Alhaurin El Grande is one of the most picturesque villages in the valley of the river Guadalhorce. At 239 meters above sea level, it overlooks a lush landscape yet it is well connected to the Coast and only a short drive to the busy resort towns of Mijas and Fuengirola.
Alhaurín El Grande dates back to the Arabic occupation of this area, and its name has been translated as both “the valley” and as “almighty God”, both of which give this town a deep historical significance.
Light breezes from the north and west as well as a conventional mild Mediterranean climate makes Alhaurín El Grande a very pleasant place to live and a lovely place to visit. The semi-tropical environment is a key attraction and the narrow town streets are lush with the verdant green that is typical of this area.
The town has a rich history and background as well as a multitude of activities and interesting places to visit. Its proximity to many of the larger tourist attractions of the Costa del Sol makes Alhaurín El Grande the perfect place to use as a base to explore Spain’s rich costal Mediterranean culture.
