Description
|
La Rijana sits on top of a headland, just below an ancient Moorish tower and looks out over the pool and the sea, with breathtaking views across the ocean towards Africa and along the coastline from the bay of Motril, to the rocks of San Cristóbal in Almunecar. From the windows and balconies, you can watch sunrise and sunset, follow the fishing boats and at certain times of year, spot dolphins just off the coast.
Roughly 50 min from Granada airport and 1¼ hrs from Malaga airport Almuñecar is the principal town on a part of the southern coast of Andalucia, known as the Costa Tropical, in the province of Granada. The coast is characterised by rugged cliffs falling to the sea and a sub-tropical climate. The fascinating Granada, the last Moorish stronghold, with the fabulous Alhambra and Sierra Nevada skiing, is just an hour away.
Our 2-storey house, looks out over the sea and pool. It has 3 sea-view bedrooms, 1 double and 2 twin (one with pull-out bed).
The well furnished lounge-diner has remote controlled TV, video, DVD and Hi-Fi for CD’s, tapes and radio. There are also books, games, videos, CD’s, tapes and an information file for your use.
Places of Interest.
Although Almuñecar at first sight just looks like a busy holiday town, it has the heart of an old Andalucian pueblo. You will be surprised when you come across the hilly narrow streets of the old town. Explore this area and seek out some good tapas bars. bodegas and restaurants - you’ll have a huge choice, naturally with lots of sea food available.
Visit the town market to buy fresh fish, meat and vegetables. See the remains of the fish-salting factory and wander through the botanical gardens (jazz festival in July). Don’t forget the bird park (Loro Sexi), castle, museum and Friday outdoor market. The water park can be seen on the coast below La Rijana.
Out of town you can travel up Almuñecar’s tropical valley, following Rio Verde. This leads to the Sierra Chaparral, passing through Jete, Ortívar and Lentejí and offers some magnificent scenery. You can eat game up here in the mountains. Carry on to the hot springs at Alhama and return via Velez Malaga. Between here and the coastal resort of Torre del Mar, you’ll come across El Ingenio shopping centre, with 12 screen cinema complex, trendy snack bars and shops and a huge hypermarket.
The Peña Escrita Park, high in the hills, is reached by following the Rio Seco. Here are more excellent views and opportunities for hiking or horse-riding. Riding is also available beside the Hotel Taramay, and the Hotel Salobrena.
Salobreña a few miles to the east is built on an outcrop of rock and topped by Moorish fortifications. Beyond this is the interesting Spanish town of Motril, with Los Moriscos golf course next to the sea..
North from Motril is the wonderful city of Granada, the last capital of the Moorish kings, well worth a visit, not only for the marvellous Alhambra (book in advance), but also for many other places of interest. Good skiing is to be had in the Sierra Nevada (generally Nov. – Easter).
South of the Sierra Nevada are the Alpujarras.
To the west of Almunecar is Marina del Este, an exclusive marina with smart restaurants and diving and then Herradura, a small, pleaseant coastal resort. Beyond Herradura is Nerja, a popular resort for British holiday-makers, with a good beach (Burriana) and fantastic caves (International festival, featuring ballet, opera, flamenco in July).
Further west is the whitewashed village of Torrox Pueblo and and Torrox Costa, with a very pleasant promenade lined with restaurants.
Beaches
The region offers a huge variety of beaches and coves where opportunities exist for diving, windsurfing, parasurfing, jet-ski, scuba, snorkelling, fishing, pedalo, nudism or simply sunbathing and swimming. There are 7 beaches at Almunecar. Further west, numerous others can be reached down steep cliffs.
