Coast/Beach
The coast and its beaches are about 30 mins by car. The beaches are dark sand and generally clean and well kept. Salobreña is the nearest coastal town. It is reportedly one of the most photographed towns due to its appearance on approach - it's whitewashed houses are built on a large hill topped with a Moorish castle.

Granada is the closest airport (75 mins or so) closely followed by Málaga (about 1¾ hour) - getting shorter due to new motorway sections coming on stream. Almeria is also possible but is over 2 hours away. A car is essential as public transport is extremely limited to the village.

Further details
Guajar Alto is one of three villages in Los Guajares (the other two being Guajar Fondon and Guajar Faragüit). There are food shops in each village and there is a bank in Guajar Faragüit. Likewise, there are bars/restaurants serving good local food at very reasonable prices.
The countryside is beautiful and ideal for lots of walking (sturdy walking boots/shoes required for some walks). There are freshwater springs (3 in Guajar Alto) which are free for anyone to use - no need to buy bottled water (except to get the bottle in the first place).
In Guajar Alto, Fresh bread can be bought at the mini supermarket, or from the bread van that visits several times a day. Likewise, a fruit and veg van and a fresh fish van call. Guajar Faragüit has a ruined fortified Moorish village called el Castillejo. This village also has a weekly market on Saturday mornings.
The nearest large town is Motril which has a hypermarket (Alcampo) for those things that you can't get in the small local shops. Motril also has a very nice heladeria (ice cream parlour). If you want to have a drink overlooking the sea then Salobreña has what you're looking for.
Alternatively, call into Los Moriscos golf club's bar. It's also worth a look around the hilltop castle at Salobreña - there are bars/restaurants on the way and the views are quite spectacular.
In Los Guajares you can also find other things to do, such as horse riding and we've also seen quad bikes around.
