The Costa Tropical region


Known locally as the Costa Tropical de Granada the coastal strip around Salobrena enjoys a true microclimate due to the proximity of mainland Spain's highest mountains. The peaks of the Sierra Nevada effectively shield the coast from the excessive summer heat and winter cold experienced in inland Andalucia eg Granada, Seville & Cordoba where winter temperatures are often 8/10 degrees centigrade cooler.
The Costa Tropical is a small stretch of the Coast Line nestled in between the Costa del Sol and Costa Almeria, although only 60km in length it boasts some of the most beautiful coastline and beaches with breathtaking journeys along its jagged coastline enabling the more adventurous to find that perfect hide-away for soaking up some Mediterranean sun.
The Costa Tropical is rightfully named due to its sub-tropical climate which allows the cultivation of exotic fruits and crops such as avocadoes, mangoes, papaya, bananas and custard apples – crops you would usually associate with the Caribbean. This is because the Costa Tropical benefits from the Sierra Nevada mountain range protecting it during the winter from the cold extremities of mainland Spain. As a result, the Costa Tropical has exceptionally mild winters coupled with hot summers allowing the growth of such tropical fruits. On average, the Costa tropical has 320 days of sunshine annually.
The Salobrena / Monte de Los Almendros area
Salobrena enjoys mainland Europe's warmest & sunniest winters yet incredibly, snow skiing is just 70 minutes drive away at the Sierra Nevada. Here you will find are some of the best sea and mountain views to be found anywhere and one of the prettiest marinas in the Mediterranean
