Vacation Rental Description
Welcome to Almuñecar, premier resort of Granada´s Costa Tropical. Our apartment “El Tesorillo” is situated outside the town just five minutes from the beach in area known as Taramay. The apartment is one hour´s drive from Malaga airport and is easy to find from the main road, although once inside it is quiet and has glorious sea and mountain views.
The apartment has three bedrooms sleeping up to five people (extra bed for sixth person by prior arrangement), two bathrooms, a fitted kitchen with electric cooker, fridge, washing machine and hot water heater, and a large dining/living room leading onto a large part-shaded terrace where you can eat al fresco and gaze at the view, including hang-gliders drifting down from the hills.
The bedrooms are furnished with fitted wardrobes, bedside tables, reading lights and they comprise one double bed, a twin and a single. There is a portable music centre and a TV/video if you want to bring your own entertainment with you.
Apart from the beach, which is five minutes walk away (down the hill) and has two pleasant chiringuitos, there is also a large pool for the exclusive use of the complex. The pool is open end of June to the beginning of September.
Taramay is a pleasant area with its own restaurants, shops and beach bars. There is a four star hotel nearby which has health and fitness facilities and a bar with live music, and there are more night time entertainments and fiestas in nearby Almuñecar.

With the sun burning bright on most days of the year, sightseeing in and around Almuñécar is a pleasure. Most of the town's monuments are from the Phoenician, Roman and Moorish eras - the Castle and the fish-salting works. Other principal attractions are the weekly market, the main seafront, which has become a very attractive promenade, the water park, ideal for kids of all ages, and the Bird Park, engagingly called Parque Loro-Sexi. Local car hire is available to visit the Tropical Valley and explore some of the dramatic local countryside, including the Rio Verde and Seco river valleys and the Peña Escrita nature reserve. The Moorish Castle is built on Roman foundations, what remains is mostly from the Arab and Christian eras. It contains an interesting museum as well as offers excellent views of the beach and town. Not far from the Castle is the small but impressive Archaeological Museum.
