Salobreña, dazzling and white, can be found in the very heart of the Costa Tropical nestling amongst the geraniums and ancient, winding Arab streets. Caressed by a gentle sea breeze and illuminated by the bright sunlight, it closely hugs the contours of the huge rock which looks out across the sea.
Its privileged position and lush environment have attracted many different civilisations. Evidence of settlements, from Neolithic to Phoenician times, along with Roman and Arab developments can be found everywhere; from the dominant Arab castle at the top of the rock to the green sugar cane plantations below, from the sub-tropical fruit orchards to the beautiful beaches which bathe the coastline.
With its authentic tropical climate, it closely resembles that of the Caribbean, with a mean annual temperature of 18ºC, ranging from 14ºC min. to 32ºC max. You can take a "summer" holiday here in winter!
Due to its geographical location in the very heart of the Costa Tropical, Salobreña is close to the most important places of interest in the area.
It's only an hour and ten minutes away to the international ski-resort in the white snow-capped Sierra Nevada which forms a picturesque backdrop to his beautiful scenic countryside, whilst Granada with its enchanting Alhambra Palace can be reached in 45 minutes.
A definite must are the fishing port in Motril, Almuñecar and the Tropical Valley, the Contraviesa and the Guajares Routes, all only a stone's throw from Salobreña. Salobreña and Granada's Costa Tropical can offer exactly what you are looking for. We look forward to your visit.
