Holiday Rentals, B&B and Property Sales on the Costa Tropical, Southern Spain

Costa Tropical

Not so well known or as crowded and the Costa del Sol to the west, the Costa Tropical, sometimes also known as the Costa de Granada, has aproximately 30Km of attractive coastline with small beaches, rugged rocks and gets its name from the mild climate. This climate is tempered by the effects of the Sierra Nevada to the north, avoiding highest temperatures of the summer and supplying water for the lush vegetation.

The largest town on the coast is Motril while nearby to the west lie Salobreña, Almuñeca and La Herradura, which form the main turist area of this coastline and to the east you will find the old fishing villages of La Rabita and La Mamola, along with Castell de Ferro.

Inland are the Alpujarras well known as walking area, Sierra Nevada where it is possible to ski from December to May, and the fascinating city of Granada with it's Moorish history, including the famous Alhambra (well worth a visit for the architecture of the buildings and the gardens, though you may need to book in advance).

The Costa tropical is serviced by Granada and Malaga airport, approximately 1.5hrs to the west.
