La Herradura, Costa Tropical

The Costa Tropical on the Mediterranean coast of southern Spain, often called the Costa Granada, welcomes you with beautiful mountains rising above its rugged coastline, deep blue waters, sunshine and a rewarding climate that never gets too hot or too cold.

The Costa Tropical is situated between the better known Costa del Sol of the Malaga province and the Costa de Almeria. The coastline lies at the foot of the Alpujarra mountains and extends from La Herradura in the west to Albunol in the east.

At the western end of the Costa Tropical, La Herradura is one of the few remaining unspoilt villages on the southern cost of Spain and offers a truly Spanish experience. The pueblo of La Herradura takes its name from the horseshoe shape of the bay, and overlooks more than 2 kilometres of beach.

At the eastern end of the bay is the beautiful headland of Punta De La Mona, and to the west the dramatic outcrop of the Cerro Gordo. La Herradura rises above the beach and offers all the essential shops, banks and services. Explore the local indoor market and enjoy the delicious treats at the village bakery. There are two excellent pharmacies and a local health practice which will assist visitors in need. Larger supermarkets can be found in Almunecar and Nerja.

La Herradura has numerous friendly bars with sunny terraces, where you can enjoy cooling drinks and tasty tapas. There is also a great choice of restaurants, from beachfront chiringitos, specializing in locally caught fish, to those offering international cuisine of a high standard.

The town offers a wide range of sporting pursuits for the active, including hang-gliding, sailboards, canoes, dinghies, jet skis and pedalos. You can even charter a crewed catamaran to explore the coast. La Herradura is a well known centre for scuba diving, and there are several schools offering expert tuition. A short distance inland there are wonderful hiking trails and panoramic views of the coastline.

La Herradura's subtropical climate makes for an ideal holiday destination in winter. Sheltered by the local mountain range the average temperatures are usually several degrees warmer than the Costa Del Sol.
