Excursion to the Tropical Coast and Nerja Caves from Granada

The Tropical Coast of Granada concentrates in a few kilometers a diversity of landscapes, history, and Mediterranean light that few Spanish coasts can match. This full-day excursion travels along the coastline from the cliffs of Salobreña to the prehistoric depths of the Nerja Caves, already in the province of Málaga, with a central stop in Almuñécar, the oldest Phoenician city on the Andalusian coast.

Our route starts with a panoramic stop in Salobreña, a white village perched on a rocky promontory with an Arab castle at the top and direct views of the Mediterranean. From there, we continue to Almuñécar, founded over 3,000 years ago by the Phoenicians under the name of Sexi. The tour includes the Majuelo Botanical Park, one of the most unique archaeological gardens in Andalusia, and the Castle of San Miguel, from whose walls the entire bay can be dominated. In the afternoon, we close the day at the Nerja Caves, declared Spanish Historical Heritage, where the formations of stalactites and stalagmites reach dimensions difficult to find in Europe and whose rock paintings place them among the most relevant Paleolithic sites on the continent.
