Further details
The Costa Tropical is not nearly so well known as the neighbouring Costa Del Sol to the west. The Costa Tropical is picturesque and you will find it far easier to get away from the crowds. The mountains run right down to the sea and the coastline is typically a series of coves and promontories. La Herradura to the west is pretty and unspoilt and located between the two attractive promontories of Punta De La Mona and Cerro Gordo. Nearby, in a protected cove east of Punta De La Mona is the impressive Marina del Este yacht harbour. Water sports and scuba diving are popular here, thanks to the variety of sea life and clarity of the water. The white village of Salobrena is worth a visit. Here you will be torn between visiting the Moorish castle and the beach. The sugar cane plantations give credence to the name Costa Tropical where there is a micro-climate making it warmer during the winter months. An abundance of mangos, papayas, avocados and other exotic fruits are produced in this region. History buffs will enjoy the Moorish castle, the ruins of the Roman sardine processing factory, the newly excavated Phoenician ruins. Shoppers won't want to miss the Friday morning flea market where you can find everything from imitation Levis to hand crafted pottery. The municipal market (el mercado) in the centre of town is open every morning except Sunday and there you can find produce, fish, meat, flowers, teas and spices.

Guest comments
Provided all you could require for an enjoyable week by the sea. The balcony was wonderful-beautiful views across the sea. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating! - Liz

The apartment lived up to expectations and facilities were perfect for our needs. Due to wonderful views and close proximity of the sea, beach and paseo we spent many mornings and evenings on the spacious terrace dining alfresco and watching the world go by. The paseo provided enjoyable evening strolls, restaurants and small supermarkets were close by and the town and other amenities easily accessed by the regular local bus service - Christine & John

Location was excellent for exploring the area and was so convenient with beach just across the road. There were shopping and restaurant facilities within easy walking distance and apartment was very pleasant, clean and comfortable, well furnished and equipped. Good views from the balcony, including a sea view. Car parking facility also very useful - Elaine
