Although not nearly so well known as the neighboring Costa del Sol to the west, the Costa Tropical of Granada province is particularly picturesque, and easier to get away from the crowds.

Costa Tropical

The mountains run right down to the sea and the coastline is made up of a series of coves and quiet beaches. La Herradura with its long beach front promenade is very pretty and un-spoilt and is located between the two points of Punta de la Mona and Cerro Gordo.

Nearby in a protected cove east of Punta de la Mona is the impressive Marina del Este yacht harbour. Water sports and scuba diving are popular here, thanks to the variety of sea life and clarity of the water.

The white village of Salobreņa is worth a visit. Here you will be torn between visiting the moorish castle and the beach. The sugar cane plantations here confirm the name Costa Tropical.

Becoming increasingly popular among foreign residents are the numerous attractions of the town of Almuņecar.

The Lecrin valley and the Alpujaras consist of a number of small whitewashed villages. Here you can walk in un-spoilt surroundings of the national park.
