Hostal Adrian began as an initiative of a young couple, María and José, who were eager to work and succeed in their working life. At the beginning the hostel was called Villega and now one of their sons has taken over the management of the hostel, calling it after one of the couple’s grandchildren, Adrian.
Running a cafeteria with the same name as the hostel at the beginning and at the same address, they decided in 1997 to increase the activity with the hostel, consisting of two double rooms and four single rooms.
Not discouraged and with the same enthusiasm, they offered an adjoining premises separated by the street Francisco Bravo, they bought it and expanded the hostel, consisting of five double rooms and five single rooms, was inaugurated in 2000.
The hostel is located in the centre of the village, it is cosy and familiar and as such we welcome our guests, who will feel at home, the environment is wonderful for a weekend getaway.
At the time of the reconquest of Alora (22 June 1484) this village did not exist, but at the end of the 15th century ‘el lugar de la Pizarra’ already appeared, built on land belonging to Diego Romero. In the last third of the 16th century it appeared as a town, with an Alcalde Ordinario for its government and an Alcalde de Hermandad for the custody of its fields. In 1592 these posts were held by the villagers Alonso Boza and Bartolomé de Vargas. On this date, the Mayor of Malaga, Licenciado Osorio, stripped the two aforementioned mayors of Pizarra of their offices. Not satisfied with the deprivation of their offices, they demanded justice and the Royal Court and Chancery of Granada, on 16 December 1594, condemned the Mayor of Malaga and other aldermen of the same to a fine and the restitution of the rods that had been taken from them. By Royal Decree issued in Granada on 26th January 1595, the Notary of Malaga, Manuel Sánchez Boza, restored the two mayors of Pizarra to their respective offices. From that date onwards, Pizarra appointed its own mayors, although they were subject to the jurisdiction of the city of Malaga, except in ecclesiastical matters, as it was an annexe of Alora in the parish service. In 1566, the Bishop of Malaga, Don Francisco Blanco Salcedo, a model of evangelical virtue and an outstanding theologian at the Council of Trent, erected a chapel at his own expense, where the Virgin of Fuensanta, Patron Saint of this town, was worshipped and venerated. In the year 1630, the establishment of a baptismal font in the church is recorded, which was erected as a parish, and in 1652 it was appointed an independent priest, as the neighbourhood had grown to over two hundred.
