Locally, Salobrena in particular and Costa Tropical in general, are one of the hidden gems of southern Spain. Whilst enjoying mild winters and hot summers, this area still retains much of the local character and Spanish way of life and has largely avoided the worst effects of mass tourism. The white washed village of Salobrena, with it’s Moorish castle perched high up on a rocky outcrop and narrow winding streets and alleys, has a good selection of bars, restaurants and supermarkets and a long beach front. Surrounding the town are the Alpujarras hills which lead back into the Sierra Nevada mountain range and ski resorts. A car is recommended and, although only 2 miles from the town, it is 300 metres above sea-level! Secure off road parking is available for 3 cars. All this offers visitors a great opportunity for a holiday which can be as relaxing or as active as you want to make it.
