    Our local town is Álora, a small but historic town with bars, shops and restaurants, the town is a 30 min drive down from the farm. There is a train and bus station near the town, from here you can easily get to Malaga, for a city tour, or head further inland and visit El Caminito del Rey and the lakes at Ardarles, these are both a 45 min drive from the farm. A vehicle is recommended as we are 7 km deep into the Álora Campo. We are a small family, husband , wife and a son. We like to welcome volunteers to our farm, share some time and experiences together. Although we will share meals and some evenings together our private space is very important to us as is the volunteers, so a separate chill area will be provided.
