How to get there
Malaga airport is 45 minutes away and Granada airport is about 1 hour away. Granada airport is much smaller and quieter than Malaga and does make arriving and departure easier. As yet there is no duty free shop at Granada. The road to Malaga is a newly built dual carriage way motorway and the road to Granada is also mostly dual carriage way.

Almunecar is the local town and is about 2.5 kms from the villa. It is a pleasant easy walk into the town along the promenade, here you will find local shops, larger supermarkets, banks, bars and restaurants. Motril (15kms from the villa) is a larger shopping town.

Further Details
From the old fishing village days of Laurie Lee, Almunecar has grown into an attractive town full of true Spanish flavour. The maze of narrow streets hosts a fusion of bars, restaurants and shops, where you can take a break in one of the many squares and enjoy the custom of free tapas served with drinks. Granada, is the capital of the province, and the famous Alhambra is an absolute must to see (pre-booking is advisable). In the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Los Alpujarras are well worth a visit and also offers good walking routes. Skiing in the Sierra Nevada mountains (winter months).
