Costa Tropical Holidays

🌴 Costa Tropical – A Unique Destination in Southern Spain

🏝️ Between Málaga and granada, where mountains meet the sea

Costa Tropical is a coastal region in the province of Granada, located in Andalusia, southern Spain. It stretches between the provinces of Málaga and Almería, with the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the Sierra Nevada mountains on the other.

The name “Tropical” comes from the region’s unique microclimate, which supports the growth of mangoes, avocados, papayas and other subtropical fruits. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, Costa Tropical offers warm winters, mild summers, and a peaceful atmosphere — making it a perfect alternative to the busier Costa del Sol.

✈️ Easy to Reach – Close to Everything

Costa Tropical is perfectly located for exploring southern Spain:

  • Just 1 hour from Málaga Airport
  • Only 45 minutes from Granada city and the Alhambra
  • Around 1 hour and 15 minutes to Sierra Nevada ski resort

Whether you're looking to explore Andalusian cities, enjoy a beach holiday, or go hiking or skiing, you can do it all from one place — without changing hotels.

🏘️ Almuñécar – History, Beaches & Andalusian Life

Almuñécar is a vibrant town rich in history and local charm. Wander through its Moorish old town, visit the San Miguel Castle, relax on long stretches of beach, or explore the botanical gardens. The town offers:

  • authentic Andalusian architecture
  • beachside restaurants and tapas bars
  • family-friendly attractions like the bird park
  • beautiful seaside promenades and local markets

It’s ideal for travelers looking for real Spain — warm, walkable, and full of character.

🌅 La Herradura – A Natural Bay with Sea Views

  • clear waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling
  • kayaking, paddleboarding, and diving excursions
