Details
Regarded as the tourist capital of Granadas' Costa Tropical, Almunecar lies on a relativaly unknown stretch of coast between the cities of Malaga and Almeria along the N-340/E-15.
The town was founded by the Phoenicians some 3,000 years ago and over the centuries has been inhabited by several cultures including the Romans and the Moors, evidence of which can be seen today in the shape of the Castillo de San Miguel and the Factoria de Salazon de Pescado.
Due to the rugged local terrain development has been limited to the coastal area and the economy, once based on fishing and agriculture, is now more reliant on tourism. Aswell as attracting tourists the sub-tropical climate along this stretch of the coast has led to an increase of northern Europeans seeking permanent residence in the area. This has resulted in an increase of shops, facilities and amenities and an improved local infrastructure.
With a coastline stretching 19km there are numerous beaches and coves to be enjoyed while there are ample oppurtunities for watersports enthusiasts. Those wishing to enjoy more rural pursuits will find plenty to do a short drive away in the Alpujarra hills or the nearby Natural Park of Las Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara & Alhama.
