The whitewashed town of Salobreña is built on a huge rock erupting from a lush tropical plain and capped with a 10th century Moorish castle overlooking the Mediterranean with the stunning Sierra Nevada as its backdrop. Located just 1 hour from Malaga and 45 minutes from Granada this is an ideal base to explore southern Spain. Where else can you ski in the morning and then catch the sun on a Mediterranean beach in the afternoon enjoying free tapas? The ‘contemporustic’ accommodation comprises a well equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room with satellite television, an attractive shower room and an inviting bedroom. Located halfway up the old town there are bars and restaurants within a couple of minutes walk of the apartment and the shops and supermarkets of the town centre are also a short walk away. There is good road access for those hiring a car and an excellent network of local transport for those who do not.
