Plaza Fuente Arriba is the heart of Álora's historic center. Its name literally means "Upper Spring Square"—hence the lower Plaza Baja. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the plaza has been an important meeting place for locals and visitors alike. A small Franciscan convent from the 17th century once stood here, but it was sadly destroyed during the Spanish Civil War. Afterwards, the square was redesigned to be the open space we see today. Plaza Fuente Arriba is now a vibrant place, with several charming cafés, small bars, and restaurants where you can enjoy a drink or a meal.
