Sierra de Andujar Natural Park

The gently rolling 74,774ha Sierra de Andújar, part of the vast Sierra Morena, is densely wooded and boasts one of Andalucia's best preserved expanses of Mediterranean forest and scrubland. Flowing through the rocky hills is the Yeguas river, with many lovely spots to sit and meditate along its banks. Its more remote areas are inhabited by an impressive number of endangered species, such as the pardel lynx, wolf, black vulture and imperial eagle.

El Cable

El Cable beach is approximately 400m long. It is situated to the east of the Fishing Port whose breakwater bounds the beach. This beach is very busy as it is a popular destination for summer holiday visitors, it has slightly less Marbella glamour than other beaches in Marbella. It is a popular spot for younger people. It is a wide beach and does not have a paseo maritimo yet.

Serenade Bolonia

At the far end of the village there is a field that also operates as an unofficial car park which is looked after by security volunteers. Nearby, on the beach with its own parking area is the Serenade Bolonia beach bar.

Paco del Gastor

Paco del Gastor is one of the most outstanding descendants of Diego del Gastor, and he was the first member of the Gastor dynasty to leave Moron de la Frontera, heading to Madrid to make a name for himself as a professional musician. He was born in Morón in 1944 and his father Francisco, who was the brother of Diego del Gastor.

Hotels in Salobreña

Hotels in Salobreña range from luxury to budget. Hotels are found both in the old town and on the coastal strip. Salobreña, known to many as 'the jewel of the Costa Tropical' is a beautiful place to stay.

Buses & Timetables

Bus from Chiclana to other towns stops at the large roundabout called Plaza de Andalucia in the centro of the town just north of the bridge over the Rio Iro on the old coast road which is now A-9034. There is not a bus station as such but there is a hardstanding for bus infront of Hotel Alboran.

Pozo Alcón

Pozo Alcón belonged to the city of Úbeda until 1564, at which time it became part of Quesada, from which it later became independent in 1648 when Felipe IV granted it the title of Villa. One of its most beautiful places is the reservoir, where the locals go to cool off in the hottest months of the summer. It has about 4700 inhabitants.

Bossaball

Bossaball is a relatively new sports game that has come to Andalucía. It is played along the beaches of Andalucía. Taking its name from the bossa nova rhythms that often accompany games, it is a spectacular ball game between two teams of three-five people, played on a court made up of trampolines and protective inflatables divided by a net.

Chirivel - El Contador

El Contador is a small farming hamlet in the municipal district of Chirivel, in the comarca of Los Velez. It sits on the Plateau of Chirivel, within the province of Almeria. Located just south of the A-92N motorway off junction km 82, it has a population of around 200.

Almonds are one of the most important crops cultivated in the area, with the almond trees blossoming in May.

Hotels El Palmar

An increasingly popular destination for surfers, local Spaniards and foreign tourists alike, El Palmar has a variety of accommodation options. The El Palmar hotels are mostly smaller, family-run guesthouses or hostals situated right on the beach.

Albolote

Albolote is a village of Nasrid origin (the Muslim dynasty that occupied Granada the 13th to 15th centuries, and built the Alhambra), but remains of Palaeolithic and Roman settlements have also been found here. Its rich landscape is dominated by the Sierra Elvira Mountains, offering yet more interesting routes to take when exploring this village.

Madinat al-Zahra

Madinat al-Zahra was declared a UNESCO world heratige site on 1st July 2018. We are in the year 400 of the Hegira, 1010 AD of our era. On the southern slopes of Jebel al-Arus, the Bride's Mountain, the marble, jasper and precious metals of the city of Madinat al-Zahra gleam in the morning sun among silver-leafed olive groves.

Iglesia del Santo, Torres

The Iglesia del Santo, also known as the Ermita de Santo, is a small church in the centre of Torres, built in stone and plastered and painted white in the traditional way, with decorative corners that reveal the stonework.

Cross-country Skiing

Andalucia is well known for its sunshine, beaches and amazing rural and cultural attractions - but skiing? Not an obvious connection. In fact, a thriving downhill skiing industry exists thanks to the world-class station in Sierra Nevada. Even fewer will be aware that this region is also cultivating cross-country ski (also known as Nordic skiing, as opposed to Alpine - downhill), and that we have excellent athletes in training who compete not only in the south of Spain, but all over the world.
