'We thought we had died & gone to Heaven!' La Herradura is a friendly Spanish village named for its horseshoe-shaped bay & mile long crescent beach. By land, it is surrounded by green & verdant hills with the high Sierra mountains beyond. Originally a fishing village, it remains unspoilt by high-rise building. The apartment is central with the beach across the road, shops & supermarket within 2 minutes walk & the daily market, square & charming church less than 5 minutes away. The wide variety of restaurants & bars include several 'chiringuitos' actually on the beach & 'tapas' are still served free with each round of drinks! By car, Almunecar (5 mins) has 'big town' shopping, Nerja (15 mins) is a popular resort & skiing in the Sierra Nevada (90 mins) runs from December to April. Stunning scenery, traditional villages & fascinating history are all within 1 hour, as are Malaga & Granada airports with budget flights from many parts of UK & Europe & good, low-cost car hire.
