Flora and fauna
The coast of Malaga is home to the greatest biodiversity in the Mediterranean and in the European seas. Due to the varied landscape consisting of beaches, cliffs, estuaries, swamps and dunes, as well as some important ecosystems such as corals in the rocky terrain, there are many different plants and animals of all kinds: land, sea, sedentary and migrant.
FLORA
Around 60 different plant communities have been distinguished. They consist of varied emblematic, unique, protected or endangered species (around 80).
The Montes de Malaga are considered the lungs of the surrounding area and were reforested with pine trees to avoid floods, as these floods occurred pretty often since they chopped down the large forests during the middle ages after the Castilian conquest, as they wanted to increase the area of cultivation. There are holm oaks, cork oaks and gall oaks, the three species of trees that were there originally.
FAUNA
The typical animals that you can find in Malaga include owls, foxes, squirrels and badgers. Being a port city in the south of Spain on the Costa del Sol, you can also experience seeing, and often touching, the dolphins - residents of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Laguna de Fuente de Piedra Natural Reserve, Málaga, is the largest lagoon in Andalucia. It houses the largest colony of flamingos in the Iberian Peninsula and the second largest in Europe, which can be admired during the nesting period along with many other species, such as the tern, the laughing and slender-billed gulls, the Kentish plover, the avocet or the stilt.

Social ecosystem
EXPERIENCE THE LOCAL LIFE
Inland Andalucia is an experience rich in Spanish culture with fiestas, tapas, white villages, fantastic nature and walking trails of unimaginable beauty. The stay itself is located in the small town of Alora. From a distance, it is a typical pueblo blanco, a whitewashed village nestled between three rocky spurs topped by the ruins of a magnificent castle which has an interesting history. A visit to the village, which consists of a series of very steep slopes and attractive cobbled streets, is well worthwhile. The whitewashed streets are lined with lemon trees and converge on a square on the lowest level, overlooked by the impressive seventeenth century Church of La Encarnación which was built during the Catholic era of rule on the site of a former mosque.
From the square, climb to the castle on foot, or go by car, to the cemetery from where you can enjoy the splendid panorama of the Guadalhorce river basin. Among the tombs there is a small Gothic chapel. Monday is market day when the village becomes a lively mass of stallholders and shoppers. Alora's economy is based on agriculture, in particular the cultivation of tropical fruits, olives and grape vines.
The cuisine of Alora uses the traditional Mediterranean ingredients of olives, almonds and citrus fruits. There are some delicious local dishes, including sopa porota, based on a garlic broth with croutons and a revuelta of scrambled eggs with spring onions and vegetables.
Alora's main fiesta is the flamenco festival which is held annually in June. Another popular traditional event is the Romería de la Virgen de las Flores which takes place in the middle of September and is one of the best places to enjoy, first-hand, the traditional verdiales.
DIVE INTO THE DIGITAL NOMAD SCENE
The property is located in a more rural and remote region, so your best option to really endeavour in the digital nomad scene is to take advantage of the stay itself. Get to know the other guests and organize group activities and trips - it`s up to you to make real connections!
