Costa Tropical

The charm of Andalusia is infectious. It's hard not to be seduced by the laidback pace of Costa Tropical with its whitewashed mountain villages and unspoilt secluded coves. Deep blue skies and hot sun mean that no one is in a hurry, and you'll return relaxed although longing for a lazy lunch of tapas, washed down with Andalusian wine. Explore old Moorish buildings, dine on fresh seafood and don't miss the magical town of Granada.

<p>On Spain's southern coast, Almunecar offers a sunny climate and great mix of activities. You’ve got picturesque beaches, quaint shops, al fresco tapas bars and palm lined boulevards. The resort has a rich cultural heritage going back 3,000 years, and its history is reflected in the narrow ancient streets, traditional buildings and spectacular ruins.</p><h4>Who is it for?</h4><h5>Families</h5><p>Almunecar has lots of activities for families.
