Almunecar Tourist / Tourism

Tourism in Almunecar revolves mainly around the influx of Spanish nationals to the town during the summer months. Although tourists from other European nations have long visited, their presence is still relatively minimal in comparison with other resorts in Andalucia.

Though Almunecar is not nearly as well known as some resorts on the neighbouring Costa del Sol, it does offer a particularly picturesque seafront with 19 kilometres of sandy beaches. Here the mountains slope right down to the water, creating a series of coves & a panoramic backdrop. It also offers a rich cultural heritage, left behind by various important Mediterranean peoples including the Romans & the Moors. Many of these historical sites are open to the public, including the Roman fish market & Aqueduct, or the fine Moorish castle that overlooks the town. Needless to say there are also a more than adequate selection of bars, clubs, & other venues present to help entertain the masses. For those looking to venture farther afield there is the city of Granada with its ancient Moorish origins (including the infamous Alhambra citadel) & the Sierra Nevada; Spain's southernmost ski resort & the location for several beautiful national parks.

In recent years Almunecar has expanded its resident international community, though not nearly as much as towns in other parts of Andalucia. The fact that it is still mainly visited by Spanish nationals has had some bearing on this. As such the identity & traditions of the people that live here are still very much alive, & many fiestas (festivals) take place throughout the year. The cuisine is another major bonus with affordable good food available everywhere, alongside the middle to high end restaurants.
