Salobrena:
This attractive south-facing villa is situated on a hillside overlooking the ancient village of Salobreña, between Almuñecar and Motril, in southern Spain. It has spectacular views over the Mediterranean coastline of the “Costa Tropical”, and Salobreña with its medieval quarter, narrow streets, whitewashed houses and Moorish castle built on a rocky outcrop. In the surrounding green fertile plain, sugar cane, vegetables and sub-tropical fruits are cultivated. The villa is ideally situated to visit the city of Granada and the famous Alhambra Palace, and to explore the mountain villages of Las Alpujarras. The Sierra Nevada mountains, usually snow-capped from November to May, are approx. 1hr 30 min drive away. This area has all the advantages of a beach holiday and, for ski enthusiasts or walkers, the mountains with their beautiful scenery and wildlife. It is said the unique microclimate creates more winter sun than other parts of the coast. This semi-rural area is typically Spanish.
