Málaga's closest inland town. Fifteen minutes from the city, but with detached houses on real plots.
Alhaurín de la Torre is the closest of the inland towns to Málaga — fifteen minutes from the city centre by car, twenty-five from the airport. The town sits in the eastern Guadalhorce valley with views back toward the city and the sea. It has grown rapidly since the 1990s as commuter housing for Málaga professionals, but the historic centre and the surrounding fincas keep it from feeling suburban. Property stock includes detached villas on plots ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 m², semi-detached houses in the urbanizaciones, and apartments in the town centre. School quality is strong — a notable factor for relocating families.
Relocating families, Málaga professionals wanting more space, Northern European semi-residents buying for the schools and the airport access.
Not affected by the Málaga city VUT moratorium — different municipality. Plot sizes are larger here than on the coast, so price-per-m² often surprises buyers favourably.
Inland Andalusia rewards local knowledge. The Glaser team walks each viewing with you — rural fincas with their water rights and DAFO status, village houses in the historic core, country plots with their access — and tells you honestly what’s worth your time. Free to you — our fee is paid by the seller.
How buying with us works →A multilingual marketing approach to Northern European buyers actively looking inland from the coast — not a mass-listing on every portal. We photograph properly, write the listing in the buyer’s language, and pre-qualify viewings. Free, written valuation. Fee only on a successful close.

A real working Spanish city with a working harbour, working museums and a long history. Not a beach resort.
Halfway between Málaga and Pizarra — close enough to commute, rural enough to feel inland.
One of the steadier inland markets for international buyers. Real expat community without losing the Spanish character.
Reinventing itself one barrio at a time. La Carihuela leads the gentrification, Playamar holds the high-density middle.
