Towns of Southeastern Spain
Exploring Andalucia's Hidden Gems
Introduction
Embarking on a journey through southeastern Spain unveils a collection of charming towns, each with its own distinct allure. From the shimmering Mediterranean shores to the whitewashed villages nestled in the hills, this region is a delightful blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
Almuñécar: Jewel of the Costa Tropical
Almuñécar serves as the vibrant heart of the Costa Tropical in the province of Granada. This lesser-known coastline stretches between the Costa del Sol to the west and the Costa de Almería to the east. With stunning beaches, diverse accommodations, and an average temperature of 20°C, it boasts around 320 sunny days per year.
The town is rich in history, featuring the Moorish Castle of San Miguel, several intriguing churches, and museums. Nearby, the Loro Sexi Bird Park showcases over 1,500 birds, while the Parque del Majuelo botanical garden hosts Europe's largest subtropical plant collection.
Motril: A Fusion of Industry and Leisure
As the largest town on the Costa Tropical and second largest in Granada, Motril is a bustling hub with over 55,000 residents. It features a lively commercial port, fishing port, and marina. Prime beaches include Playa Granada and Playa Poniente.
Motril's history is intertwined with sugar cane production, home to the 16th-century sugar mill, Casa de Las Palmas. The coast road west of Playa Poniente leads to Casa Astrida, a royal residence, and the popular Los Moriscos golf course.
Salobreña: A Timeless White Village
Perched on a rocky hill, the picturesque town of Salobreña is renowned for its 10th-century Moorish castle. Surrounded by lush sugar cane fields, it's close to the last sugar factory in Europe, located in La Caleta.
With a history spanning over 6,000 years, the old town offers breathtaking views for those who venture to the top. Salobreña is bustling with bars, restaurants, and tapas venues, all just 45 minutes from Granada and a little over an hour from the Sierra Nevada mountains, making it perfect for combining winter sun and skiing.
Mojácar: The Enchanting Mountain Village
Located in the province of Almería, Mojácar is just a 50-minute drive from Almería airport. This enchanting whitewashed mountain village lies a few kilometers from the coast, near the tourist resort of Mojácar Playa.
With over 3,000 hours of sunshine annually and barely a hint of winter, Mojácar maintains its original charm, highlighted by the Moorish fortress, El Torreón. The beaches and nearby picturesque villages are major attractions.
Puerto de Mazarrón: A Tranquil Retreat
Puerto de Mazarrón is a popular yet serene holiday resort, cherished by families and tourists alike. While fishing and agriculture are staple industries, tourism thrives, especially in summer, thanks to some of Spain's most pristine, unspoiled beaches.
Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the picturesque promenade, which offers easy beach access. The area is dotted with vibrant bars, restaurants, and cafes, welcoming guests to savor the local flavors.
Conclusion
Whether you're drawn to the historical allure of ancient castles or the relaxing vibe of sun-drenched beaches, southeastern Spain’s towns offer unforgettable experiences. Each destination presents an opportunity to experience the rich culture, history, and natural beauty that Andalucia has to offer.
