The Costa Tropical/Granada region
Almunecar, a bustling very Spanish town, with its daily market for fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables, many shops, small cobbled streets and extensive beaches and restaurants is just a 5 minute drive to the east.
Nerja, with its famous Balcon de Europa, and caves, wealth of restaurants and bars, and 7 beaches is 15 minutes drive away to the west. Originally a fishing village, Nerja has kept its original Spanish charm, with twisting streets and white buildings.
Just 30 minutes drive away, you can experience the real Spain in the village of Frigiliana. The village has been awarded the title of the most beautiful and best maintained Andalusian village several times. Whitewashed houses line cobbled streets which gently carve their way through the picturesque village up to the castle ruins.
In the scenic area around Frigiliana there are an abundance of olive groves, almond orchards, lemon and orange trees.
Granada, A little over one hours drive away to the east, is a city of culture housing the magical Palace of Alhambra, a wealth of shops, and many fine tapas bars. For spring and winter visitors (1/12 to 30/4), who want to experience the beach and the snow in the same day , the ski resort of Sierra Nevada is just 30 minutes from Granada. When fully open, there are 94 km. of pisted runs, including a snowboard park!
La Herradura / Punta de la Mona area
Punta de la Mona is a beautiful green headland nestling between the stunning bay of La Herradura (the horse shoe), and the tranquil beauty of Marina del Este.
The traditional white fishing village of La Herradura retains its unique charm and is still a relatively undiscovered gem along the coast. Throughout the length of the bay, are a selection of local "chiringuitos" (beach restaurants) and shops.
Marina del Este is a must for a drink or a seafood lunch, in one of the many cafes overlooking the marina, and for a walk up the natural “rock” which, like a mini Gibraltar, dominates the harbour.
A few minutes drive away to the west is the beautiful secluded beach of Cantarijan (naturist – optional) with its welcoming sun beds and shades in front of the La Barraca restaurant (be sure to try the house salad). A little further to the west, in the next bay, the more peaceful but equally beautiful Canuelo beach, is ideal for snorkelling around the rocks in the crystal clear water.
The area is renowned for its diving with several international diving schools. It is also a paradise for watersports enthusiasts - the local beach has a windsurfing/sailing school for hire of equipment and/or instruction.
