Amongst the prehistoric remains, the ones found in “Las Terrazas de Canca” are worthy of note. During the Roman occupation, the town should have been located on the “Cerro de las Torres”.

Its name comes from the term Iluro, from Iberian times and also used by the Romans, until the Arabs transformed it to Al- Lura.

For eight centuries, the Muslims remained in these lands until Los Reyes Católicos incorporated the town of Álora into the Christian Crown on the 22nd of June 1484.

In the Spanish Civil War it was a serious famine and many of its citizens decide to emigrate to Germany, Switzerland and Australia.
