Almunecar - guide to Almunecar hotels in Almunecar

Almunecar, in the province of Granada, is an increasingly popular tourist destination on the Costa Tropical - Southern Spain's least-known stretch of coastline. Sandwiched between the sea and the Sierra Nevada mountain range,

Almunecar affords visitors and residents dramatic scenery in all directions. It is a perfect location in which to buy Spanish property if you want the luxuries of a south coast town, but don't want the visible signs of mass tourism.

Almunecar, has a population of approximately 22,000 people and has over 20 km of beach. Its mountainous surroundings create a tropical microclimate permitting the growth of exotic plants and fruits such as bananas, papayas and mangoes.

The heart of the old town is laid out with parallel streets radiating from the plateau at the top of the hill on which the city was built. The average temperature here is 18 o C during the winter and 26 o C during the summer. Almunecar has several high quality beaches including Cabria Beach, Galera Beach and Tesorillo beach, enjoying 320 days of sunshine a year.

The coastline is a tangle of coves, semi-desolate beaches and rocky headlands that climb inland up steep cliffs and sparsely wooded hills. In Almunecar itself this wild coastline has been somewhat tamed. There is a small marina and many beachfront properties, all spread along the coastline and dressed in classical Mediterranean whitewash.
