Between the Costa del Sol and the Almerian Coast, in the south of Spain, you will find the Costa Tropical and the Granada Coast...a spectacular stretch of coastline with tropical vegetation, beaches and coves with crystal clear waters, fine white sand and a fantastic climate.

The province of Granada, along its stretch of coastline to the south, has many attractive tourist destinations including Almunecar, Salobrena, Motril, Castell de Ferro and La Herradura....all destinations that year after year have been changing their character from traditional old fishing ports to tourist havens....all the while maintaining the essences of their maritime history.

One area close to the coast certainly worth checking out is 'Las Alpujarras' one of the few moorish refuges left in Spain. Infact, after the Reconquista of Spain in 1492 when the Catholic Kings overthrew the Moors in the peninsula, this area remained true to its Moorish roots. And then theres the mythical Alambra Palace, often proclaimed the eighth wonder of the world.... a magical arabic legacy on the iberian peninsula.

In the summer the Costa Tropical explodes into life with numerous 'ferias' celebrated along the route of the white villages (Pueblos Blancos) and are an attractive proposition for visitors. With 320 days of sun a year though, this tropical paradise is a destination that can be visited all year round, with an pleasant average temperature of 20c.

So whether you want to lay on the beach, scubadive, hike through the white villages, cycle along coastal routes or play a round of golf.....Costa Tropical has it all!

Enjoy your holidays on the Costa Tropical!
