Costa
Tropical Spain
Although not nearly so well known as the neighbouring Costa del Sol to
the west. The Costa tropical of Granada province is particularly
picturesque beachside, and easier to get away from the crowds.
Many tourists are starting to head east towards Costa Tropical where
still lies old Spain with it small charming fishing villages and white
mountain villages.
The mountains run right down to the sea and the coastline is typically
a series of coves and promontories. There is La Herradura which is
pretty and unspoilt and located betwen the two attractive promontories
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, among the
numerous attractions of of the town of Almuņecar
