Costa Tropical:
Although not nearly so well known as the neighbouring Costa del Sol, the Costa Tropical of the Granada province has many picturesque beaches and it is easier to get away from the crowds. The stunning backdrop of mountains all along the coast, along with the absence of tall buildings and other eyesores relating to mass-tourism, adds to the beauty of the beaches themselves.
The Costa Tropical is made up of many beaches and little coves with crystalline waters, along 73 kilometres of coastline. With more than 320 sunny days each year and an average annual temperature of 20º C, you can enjoy it all year round.
It is an easy drive to the coast, and with the new motorway nearing completion, journey times will soon be even faster. From the centre of Granada it takes less than an hour, whilst the Alpujarras and Valle de Lecrin are even nearer - depending on how close to the motorway you are.
