The Granada Costa Tropical boasts 320 days of sunshine a year and an average temperature of 20°C, and this excursion covers it from end to end before crossing into the province of Málaga to descend into one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Spain.
The day begins in Salobreña, a white hilltop village crowned by an Arab castle with views over the Mediterranean. From there the route continues to Almuñécar, a city founded by the Phoenicians, where a walk through the Parque del Majuelo and a visit to the Castillo de San Miguel offer the finest panoramic views of the coastline. At midday, a stop for a typical lunch of the area before continuing on to Nerja. In the afternoon, the Nerja Caves, declared a Spanish Historical Heritage site, close the day with a geological spectacle of stalactites and stalagmites that is hard to forget.
Departure from the centre of Granada with hotel pick-up included. An expert guide accompanies the group throughout the day in Spanish and English, with all logistics taken care of from the very first moment.
