The Costa Tropical/Granada region
The Costa Tropical region of Granada lies at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains and benefits from an average of 320 days of sunshine a year. This beautiful 35 minute stretch of coast is overwhelming in its beauty and charm. Often described as the 'real Spain' due to its lack of overdevelopment this area none the less provides everything you could need for a perfect holiday.
The city of Granada itself has a vibrant atmosphere and is steeped in history. The Alhambra is described as 'the Jewel of Moorish Spain' and whether you are looking to relax in gorgeous surroundings, ski in the Nevada mountains or enjoy vibrant nightlife you will find what you need here.
The tapas culture thrives in this subtropical heaven and you can be sure that when visiting one of the many bars in the area you will be served traditional local delicacies with your drinks. You will not be short of nightlife should you wish to find it but this Spanish idyll also offers peace and quiet as well as the opportunity of watersports, walking, climbing and paragliding for the more adventurous
Salobrena / Monte de Los Almendros area
Salobrena is a beautiful whitewashed town that sits atop a huge rock just back from the shore. 105 metres above sea level is the Arabic fortified castle, the Castillo which attracts thousands of visitors every year due to its amazing views. Below the castle is the parish church which has been built on the site of an old mosque and is easily distinguished by a Moorish style arch.
There are many traditional festivals and fairs for you to experience such as the San Juan and San Pedro fair in June and the festival in honour of the Virgin of Rosario in October. There are also many films, fiestas, plays and concerts such as the Lucero del Alba Flamenco Festival that turns the historic castle into a romantic setting with a delightful display of traditional music and dancing.
Below the old town on the rock you will find Salobrena's modern side. There are plenty of bars and restaurants whilst avoiding the high rise overdeveloped atmosphere that plagues much of Spain.
From various viewpoints in Salobrena you can see the orchards of sub-tropical fruit trees, expanses of sugar cane, the shoreline and the rugged landscape of the Siera del Chapparral.
