Welcome to Costa Tropical Travel Guide

Lying in bright Andalusia, the Costa Tropical draws thousands of visitors each year. With its fine-looking landmarks and picturesque villages, the Tropical Coast says it all with its name: a peaceful paradise in Europe.
The climate in the Costa Tropical is superb - the mild winds from the north of Africa and the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea, along with the freshness provided by the nearby mountains in Sierra Nevada, create a unique microclimate within Europe. With more than 320 sunny days a year and an average temperature of 20 the Costa Tropical translates as a heavenly place. Almuñécar, Motril and Salobreña are the most popular destinations among tourists. Its extensive beaches, with thick sand and clear blue waters, have been repeatedly awarded the exclusive eco-label Blue Flag, which confirms the high quality and cleanness of the Costa Tropical shoreline. These beaches draw thousands of both Spanish and foreign visitors. However, this area does not suffer the problems affecting other regions. The tourism boom that took place in Spain during the 60 s and 70 s arrived late to the Costa Tropical and that is why it has successfully kept away from becoming a grey urbanized and tourist-stricken land mass like other parts of Spain.
Founded by the ancient Phoenicians, Almuñécar is a town boasting an impressive heritage consisting of two Phoenician necropolises, Roman aqueduct vestiges, a Moorish castle and other important historic remains. Its magnificent buildings and its superb marina draw people from all over Europe, but the greatest appeal of this Costa Tropical resort is its striking shoreline: stress-free beaches and remote coves providing a relaxing place where to bask in the bright Andalusian sun or go for a refreshing swim in the marine blue waters of the Costa Tropical.
When you see the whitewashed Salobreña you may think it is nothing else but a huge sugar lump mountain - its small cubic white houses pile up around a hill topped by an old Moorish castle, providing an unforgettable vignette. From the summit of this hill there are panoramic vistas to Sierra Nevada, the Mediterranean Sea and the rich lowlands of Salobreña, where subtropical fruits are grown.
Motril, the biggest tourist resort on the Costa Tropical , is also a very popular destination. It boasts several services, night clubs, shops and, of course, outstanding beaches for those yearning for unforgettable summer holidays in Spain.
