La Herradura, situated on the Costa Tropical and named for its magnificent horseshoe bay and mile long crescent beach, is a quiet, predominately Spanish town with a wide variety of restaurants & bars, most of which still serve local tapas free with each round of drinks. La Herradura lies between the popular resort of Nerja and slightly larger town of Almunecar, which has a fantastic weekly market and shopping area. Nerja, most famous for its historic caves and panoramic views, also hosts numerous golf courses, whilst Almunecar, only 5 kms away, offers more shops and amenities, including a waterpark and castle.
Nearby, is a moderate-sized port, Marina del Este, which is a popular venue all year round, with a secluded beach and restaurants, specializing in locally caught fish. The Alhambra in Granada and the Sierra Nevada mountains (skiing, mountain biking and walking) are all within 90 minutes drive.
