You will find the Spanish Town of Alhaurin El Grande about 30 kms from Malaga, high above the Costa del Sol.<\/p>\n

Alhaurin offers a great holiday destination and is also popular with large numbers of Expats who have moved here to enjoy the fine weather and relaxed lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Enjoy everything Alhaurin has to offer, car hire at Alhaurin will allow you to cover much more of the area and to cut out the wait for public transport. Car hire at Alhaurin is a great way to explore this amazing part of Spain.<\/p>\n

\"Guide<\/a>Explore beautiful Spanish coast line, nevadas and stunning sights with a rental car in Alhaurin.<\/p>\n

In order to get flights to Alhaurin you need to fly into Malaga Airport. It is also possible to fly into Granada, Seville or Jerez but Malaga has such a large number of direct flights and is so close to Alhaurin that it is not worth travelling the distances to and from the other airports.<\/p>\n

Alhaurin El Grande is also close to the sea and beaches of the Costa del Sol. The closest coastal areas are Fuengirola and Mijas but the exclusive resorts of Marbella and Puerto Banus are also within easy driving distance. If you have no transport of your own Helle Hollis can setup car hire in Alhaurin for you. We recommend that you pick up your rental car\u00a0 from Helle Hollis when you arrive to M\u00e1laga Airport.<\/p>\n

The area surrounding Alhaurin is mostly vast mountain plains, rolling hills and mountains. From the town you can also catch a glimpse of the “Hoya de Malaga” or Malaga Vale. This view is a wide carpet of Lemon and Fruit Trees that fill the valley.<\/p>\n

The town consists of narrow, winding streets with Alhaurin Town Hall and the impressive church of Vera Santa Cruz located in the main square.<\/p>\n

Alhaurin El Grande has had a colourful past including a period when its inhabitants were free from taxes. This all ended in tears after the local administration failed to control the town efficiently and the then King of Spain ordered Alhaurin to come under the wing of the Jurisdiction of Spain. These events led to several years of disorder for the people of Alhaurin.<\/p>\n

For sports enthusiasts the town also has its own Golf Course. Alhaurin\u00b4s 18 hole par 72 course was designed by Seve Ballesteros and you will also find a nine hole par 3 course bordering a beautiful lake.<\/p>\n

The par 72 course is of international quality with rich green fairways and greens surrounded by dense pine forests. Set within the Sierra de Mijas Hills the course gives excellent views down to the coast and across the Mediterranean to Africa.<\/p>\n

There is no shortage of hotels within Alhaurin and as each year goes buy there are more and more private holiday homes available for rental.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
