Salobreña and the Costa Tropical:
Salobrena and the Costa Tropical in general are where you can enjoy the authentic Spain. This is the heart of the “Costa Tropical de Granada”, where Spanish people take their holidays, with tapas bars and restaurants serving authentic Spanish cuisine, at Spanish prices. In Salobreña itself, there is the 'casco antiguo', a maze of narrow streets, white-washed houses, alleys and steep staircases leading up to the old town square and the Moorish castle. The beachfront has many restaurants, with tables on the sand. Nearby there is the vibrant town of Motril, the holiday resort of Almuñecar, with its markets and Roman ruins, and La Herradura with its pretty and sophisticated harbour – Marina del Este. Most of our guests find that the pace of life is a welcome and refreshing change from the more commercialised parts of Spain and quickly fall in love with the area.
Swimming Pool:
The attractive swimming pool is on the main terrace, just a few steps down from the doors to the lounge and the kitchen. The shallow end, covering around a quarter of the pool, is about one metre deep, while the rest of the pool is 1.8 metres deep.
The pool is available for use right round the year as it can be heated, when needed in the cooler months, by an energy efficient heat pump. There is an additional charge for this of €10.00 (ten euros) per day, to cover the cost of the additional electricity that will be used.
What to do and where to go:
There is a lot to do in the area, although many of our guests seem to end up spending most of their time relaxing by the pool. However, we provide a detailed guide that tells you everything you need to know about the house and the area, including where to shop, where to eat and local attractions. We also have a large library, with local guides, maps, Spanish cookbooks, books on the history of Spain, as well as a large collection of novels. There are also lots of board games available to use.
Should you need anything during your stay, you can ring our local agents or call at their office, which is only 5 minutes away, on the way into town. They have a team of handymen, plumbers and electricians and can respond promptly, should anything go wrong.
