Costa Tropical

Drive 30 minutes south to reach the beach after seeing the Alhambra in Granada. The region of Granada's Costa Tropical is home to some exceptionally beautiful beaches. It's ideal for a short road trip down the Spanish coast and is also far less congested than its well-known neighbor, the Costa del Sol.

The province of Granada, which is the one to the east of Malaga, contains the coastline known as the Costa Tropical. It's interesting to note that the impacts of this coastline's subtropical environment are what gave it its name. Mountains form a series of beautiful headlands, protected bays, and beaches along a large portion of the Costa Tropical. La Herradura's horseshoe-shaped bay is a beautiful, pristine example.

This coastline is highly well-liked by both hikers and climbers as a result of this feature. Not to mention tourists that come to try their hand at the numerous sports and water activities that this shore is renowned for. Due to the abundance of marine life and water clarity in the bays east of Punta de la Mona, water sports and scuba diving are very common.

It is worthwhile to travel to Salobrena, a white settlement. You'll have to choose between going to the beach or the Moorish castle in this place. The moniker Costa Tropical is validated by the sugar cane plantations' continued existence in this area. One of the biggest cities on the Costa Tropical is Almuecar. It should come as no surprise that it is home to a number of fantastic sites, including the San Miguel Castle.
