Tourist information - Almunecar
Almunecar on the Granada coast, on the shore of the Mediterranean, has one of the oldest towns on the so-called Tropical Coast. Of Phoenician origin, the former Sexi brings together a rich archaeological and monumental heritage with excellent beaches suitable for swimming, diving and a wide variety of water sports. Its cuisine, centred on Mediterranean fish and seafood, leads us to other nearby places, like, for example,Granada. The Alhambra, the Generalife and the district of Albaicin, declared World Heritage Sites, are among its treasures.
Between the sea and the mountains, the municipality of Almunecar offers visitors a great variety of beaches and coves spread along 20 kilometres of coast. Shallow water, ideal for children, at Calabajío; the opportunity to practise naturism at the bottom of a ravine in Cantarrijan, lively nights in Puerta del Mar or marine depths to go diving in La Herradura are some of the opportunities offered by this part of the Costa Tropical. Development in the area has created large summer holiday developments while still caring for the natural environment, So, visitors can enjoy all the charms of the landscape and the most varied range of leisure activities
