THE SURROUNDING AREA

Have a lovely holiday in Southern Spain

A perfect base to explore a beautiful part of Spain

This property is ideally situated to explore this fascinating part of Spain. The Costa Tropical is much less developed and more authentically Spanish than the Costa del Sol to the East.

Beach lovers will be spoilt for choice - from tiny coves to long, wide expanses within a short distance.

Those who appreciate the heritage of Spain will love ancient Granada and its world famous Alhambra, the unspoilt ‘white pueblos’ and many places of interest.

Nature lovers are just minutes away from the natural park of Pena Escrita, the beautiful, unspoilt promontory of Cerro Gordo and superb walking in the Alpujarras.

Almunecar

The house sits at the highest point of Almunecar.

Founded by the Phoenicians almost 3000 years ago, Almunecar and its handsome Moorish castle sit on a small hill between the mouths of two rivers - the Río Seco and the larger Río Verde. To the west of the town lies the Punta de la Mona, a pineclad headland sheltering the attractive Marina del Este marina - a water sports base.

The most attractive part of Almunecar is the old pueblo which is mostly inaccessible by car. Simply wander around its streets filled with boutiques and tapas bars and take in the maze of narrow passageways.

There are approximately 25 different beaches along the shoreline of Almunecar and La Herradura, ranging from secluded coves to the town's main beachfronts.
