Guide to Almunecar

The main tourist capital of the Costa Tropical is Almunecar. Many people haven’t even heard of the Costa Tropical and Almunecar but it can be found in the Province of Granada which is to the east of the Costa Del Sol and forms the eastern edge of Andalucia.

The mountain ranges of the Sierra Nevada tower above Almunecar and in this part of Spain you will find small villages clinging to the hillsides that are full of Olive and Almond trees.

If you are looking to explore more of Almunecar and have no hire vehicle prepared then Helle Hollis can help with a rental car.

A rental car from Helle Hollis is a cost effective way to explore this part of Spain, take in stunning views, absorb the culture and to enjoy the holiday with the freedom to travel.

The mountains of the Sierra Nevada actually provide natural shelter for Almunecar and they keep a lot of the bad weather at bay. On the other side of the Mediterranean from Almunecar is Africa which in turn helps keep the town warm with its mild winter winds and hot dry summer breezes. You can take trips into the mountains of the Sierra Nevada with your hire car.

If you are searching for flights to Almunecar then the closest airport to fly into is Granada Airport but Malaga Airport is only around 100kms away.

British Airways from London City has flights to Granada whereas if you prefer to fly into Malaga there are many airlines and routes to choose from.

Situated between two rivers, the Rio Seco and the Rio Verde (the dry river & the green river), Almunecar has a fertile tropical valley which is full of fruit orchards. If you head west from the town you will find the town of Punta de la Mona and the sporting marina of Marina del Este. Inland the whole area rises up into the mountains and is dotted with farmhouses and small villages that in turn lead up into the Pena Escrita Natural Park.

You will find the Almuñécar tourist information office at Avda. Europa in the beautiful small palace La Najarra.

If you drive down to the sea there are 19km of coastline which is made up of a mixture of wide, sandy beaches and small coves. If you are a water sports fan you will be able to find most forms of water sport on offer along this coast. If you have no transport arranged to help you travel around then Helle Hollis can help you upon your arrival to Malaga Airport,

As you would imagine there is a fair number of expats living in Almunecar with the bulk of them coming from France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and of course the UK.
