Water sports are popular on the
Costa Tropical |
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.
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 Salobreña
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 are the numerous attractions
of of the town of Almuņecar
To
the east lies the Costa de Almeria.
