The sun shine averages 325 days a year, and in spring the mountains are a riot of flowers and herbs and their perfume fills the air.
Things to do:
Wonderful country for walking, horse riding (from a couple of hours to a week long trek), paragliding, canyoning, mountain biking, birdwatching, or doing nothing but chilling out by the pool with a glass of something cold!
There is a golf course, next to the beach at Motril, 30 minutes away.
Granada, with the world famous Alhambra palace and gardens are only 40 minutes drive.
