Things to do in Loja, Spain
Loja properties are located right on the edge of the Los Intiernos de
Loja Natural Monument, a series of beautiful waterfalls carving their
way through the limestone valley. There can be few places better than
Los Intiernos de Loja for riverside picnics, and with excellent access
to the barren landscapes of the Sierra de Loja Mountains, you cannot
afford to miss this beautiful region from a Loja property rental. The
Sierra Loja are wild and barren, with limestone geology that makes the
region a veritable playground for potholers, walkers and cavers.

The surrounding countryside is a maze of contradictions. To the east,
barren limestone landscapes give way to lush, undulating hills, covered
in olive groves and littered with small, atmospheric farmhouses. This
side of Loja is a haven for walking, mountain biking and horse riding,
all of which thrive from accommodation in Loja. Further into the
mountains, the bravest among you can even try paragliding.

There is a huge amount to discover within the town itself though.
There is a rich Muslim heritage in Loja, having been a Muslim town until
it was taken over by Christians in the 14th century. The Islamic
Caseron de los Alcaides Cristianos fortress and Alcazaba district
provide a wonderful comparison to the lavish temples and elegant,
flamboyant palaces, gardens and public buildings which still adorn the
town. The huge, 25 spout Fuente de la Mora fountain is certainly worth
finding from a Loja apartment or villa too.

Places to visit on holiday to Loja, Spain
Further into the countryside of Andalucia is the small town of
Illora, which lies along the foot of the Sierra Parapanda. Overlooking
the town is an imposing Moorish fortress, precariously positioned at the
head of a dramatic gorge. Hugely popular with walkers, Illora is the
start of a huge range of walking trails, which emanate from the town,
reaching far into the hidden corners of the mountains.

Weather in Loja, Spain

the 40˚C mark, with the hot weather lasting long into the evening.
Eating outside on a summer evening is an absolute delight from self
catering Loja properties, something which is possible for a huge portion
of the year.

Travel to Loja, Spain
Reaching a Loja property from the UK is remarkably easy, with Loja
located just 35 minutes from both Granada (GRX) and Malaga (AGP)
airports, both of which are served by regular flights from the UK.
Malaga is by far the larger of the two airports, and it is likely that
you will find cheaper flights to Malaga, as well as more options on hire
car facilities. Taking a hire car to visit a Loja property is advised,
only because of the huge amount to see in the surrounding areas. Public
transport to Loja can be arranged from either airport.
