Alhaurín de la Torre

Alhaurín de la Torre extends across 82 square kilometers between the Sierra de Mijas mountains and Málaga basin, with the Guadalhorce river flowing through the territory.

The Phoenicians established the first settlement around 1000 BC, which later transformed into a Moorish community called Albarracín before receiving its current name in 1485.

The Municipal Library Antonio Garrido Moraga and Vicente Aleixandre Cultural Center organize regular conferences, film cycles, and literary events throughout the year.

The town provides numerous online educational programs through the Aula Mentor system, offering professional development opportunities for local residents.

The municipality operates a specialized flood park system that manages rainwater flowing from the Sierra mountains into the urban areas.
