Almuñecar has the heart of an old Andalucian pueblo. You will be
surprised when you come across the hilly narrow streets of the old
town. Explore this area and seek out some good tapas bars. bodegas
and restaurants - you’ll have a huge choice, naturally with lots of
sea food available.
Visit the town market to buy fresh fish, meat and vegetables. See the
remains of the fish-salting factory and wander through the botanical
gardens (jazz festival in July). Don’t forget the bird park (Loro
Sexi), castle, museum and Friday outdoor market. The water park can
be seen on the coast below La Rijana.
Out of town you can travel up Almuñecar’s tropical valley, which
offers some magnificent scenery. You can eat
game up here in the mountains. Carry on to the hot springs at Alhama
and return via Velez Malaga.
Salobreña a few miles to the east is built on an outcrop of rock and
topped by Moorish fortifications. North of here is the wonderful city
of Granada, the last capital
of the Moorish kings, well worth a visit, not only for the marvellous
Alhambra Palace, but also for many other places of
interest. Good skiing is to be had in the Sierra Nevada (generally
Nov. - Easter).
South of the Sierra Nevada are the Alpujarras.
To the west of Almunecar is Marina del Este, an exclusive marina with
smart restaurants and diving and then Herradura, a small, pleaseant
coastal resort. Beyond Herradura is Nerja, a popular resort for
British holiday-makers, with a good beach (Burriana) and fantastic
caves (International festival, featuring ballet, opera, flamenco in
July).
Further west is the whitewashed village of Torrox Pueblo and and
Torrox Costa, with a very pleasant promenade lined with restaurants.

Beaches
The region offers a huge variety of beaches and coves where
opportunities exist for diving, windsurfing, parasurfing, jet-ski,
scuba, snorkelling, fishing, pedalo, nudism or simply sunbathing and
swimming. There are 7 beaches at Almunecar. Further west, numerous
others can be reached down steep cliffs.
In the area of Almunecar, as you can see, you will always find
something to do. The location of La Rijana, suitable all year round,
means that you can combine the tranquillity of gazing across the blue
of the Mediterranean with the convenience of being only minutes from
the centre of a vibrant Spanish town. You can explore the coastal
towns and more remote beaches or head inland to the mountains. And
remember the wonderful city of Granada and the Sierra Nevada ski
resort are just a short drive away.
