Almuñecar is located on the southern coastline of Spain, on the Costa Tropical (Tropical Coast) of Granada’s province; an ideal place with the best conditions to make your holidays unforgettable. Idyllically located in the Mediterranean, just a short distance from the Sierra Nevada mountains,, which boast the highest peak in mainland Spain and a great ski resort, Almuñecar is protected form the cold north winds. Protected in this way, the area has an extraordinary subtropical climate, with more than 300 days of sun per year and with an average temperature of 20ºC all year around. The area is known for its tropical fruit crops such as avocados and mangos.



More than 3000 years of history and the passage of different civilisations, where buildings of architectural or historic interest and archaeological remains such as Castles, Fish Curing Factories, Necropolis, Roman Aqueducts and other remains exhibited in the Municipal Archaeological Museum, has left an important and valuable artistic legacy.



Almuñecar has learnt to balance its natural beauty with the increasing number of visitors, managing to preserve its natural beauty for all to enjoy, maintaining tradition and combining it with tourist activity. Almuñecar, due to its infrastructures and convenient services, is the primary tourist centre on the Costa Tropical offering something for everyone.



Neighbouring villages such as La Herradura and Marina del Este Yachting Harbour, the coast’s wide variety of beaches and a fantastic seabed increase the appeal and the charm of this area.



In addition, Almuñecar offers other attractions and places of interest such as the Botanical-Archaeological Gardens “El Majuelo”, the “Loro Sexi” Bird Park, the Aqua Park “Aquatropic” and a wide range of leisure activities for both day and night. These and more make Almuñecar an attractive, year around, destination.



Almuñecar continues to invest in further developments such as conference and congress tourism, as well as updating and expanding facilities and attractions for the tourist looking for cultural experiences and adventure sport.
