Not just for beachcombers; this area offers great countryside, the Alhambra in Granada, Lecrin and the Guajar valleys, and in winter skiing in the Sierra Nevada is just 90 minutes drive from the coast - sea, sun & ski all the same day!

The Costa Tropical offers some of the most varied scenery, the most diverse activities, and is home to some of the most eco-friendly tourism in Europe. It is a land of hidden depths, with surprises around every rincon (corner) and for the fit and healthy there are great walks, golf, diving or para-gliding to enjoy!

Is an ancient place full of mystery, history and tradition. Worth a visit is the Alhambra Palace - one of the world's great wonders. But remember to book your tickets in advance so as not to be disappointed.

Otherwise you'll just have to settle for shopping; in the city that offers some of the best bazarres and most varied stores in Andalucia.
