Costa Tropical Properties

Costa Tropical - Sun, Sea, and History

Stretching 103 km along the coast, south of Granada, the Costa Tropical is located at the eastern end of Andalucia. Boasting over 320 days of sunshine per annum and an average temperature of 20 degrees, its sub tropical climate and fertile lands enable the cultivation of various exotic fruits and crops; bananas, kiwis, papayas, avocadoes, mangoes and sugar cane grow in abundance.

This region with its plethora of white washed villages and secluded beaches, has retained much of the traditional, laid back Spanish charm; popular with foreigners and Spanish alike.

Often referred to as the tourist capital of the Costa Tropical, Almunecar enjoys mild winters and long hot summers; rich in Arabian and Roman history, it’s only 72 km from Granada and 75 km from Malaga. Enjoy “tapas” served in bars along the esplanade, wander around the cobbled lanes of the attractive old quarter with its street markets, sample the “custard apples” or enjoy the wide choice of water sports at Herradura, a bustling marina to the west of the town.

Salobrena, 20 mins east of Almunecar, is a picturesque town with charming white washed houses, narrow winding streets, isolated, mostly deserted beach coves and a magnificent medieval castle. Motril is the largest, commercial town on the Coast; with its shops, cheap tropical fruits and flower markets, the Marina offers a wide choice of water sports.

Situated just north west of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range, 40 minutes drive north of Motril, is the beautiful city of Granada. Enjoy breathtaking views of the snow clad Sierra Nevada mountain range and valleys beneath, in particular, Las Alpujarras. Renowned for its walking trails, Las Alpujarras is one of the most scenic regions in Spain where ancient villages nestle in the mountainsides on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada.

Like other landmark cities, Granada loves to celebrate - with a huge fiesta in January, splendid processions in March and April, elaborate bull fights and other festivities throughout May and June and several weeks of open air concerts in the summer. A fascinating place, Granada is steeped in Moorish history and, many argue, the most beautiful city in Andalucia.

Here, it really is possible to live the dream, ski or snowboard on the Sierra Nevada ski slopes and then sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon!

Local councils are determined the region will remain unspoilt; whilst development is clearly increasing, tight building controls help ensure the Costa Tropical retains the ambience and quintessential charm that has helped make this area such a popular choice, a region greatly cherished by locals and foreigners alike.
