Algarobo Costa
The village Algarrobo is divided into two parts, one inland and the other coastal, located 3 km away from each other. The inland village is usually referred to as "Algarrobo Pueblo" and is where the town hall is located. The coastal town is called "Algarrobo Costa". It is named after the algarrobo (carob) tree, with long, dark (when ripe) pods; carob is used as a sweetener.
The coastal part of the town is more modern than its inland partner, and boasts two magnificent beaches joined by a bridge and a seafront promenade.
Algarobo Costa was once a fishing port, but is now a busy tourist resort, with lots of apartment blocks and hotels.
