Whether your Holiday Choice is for a  Tranquil, Getaway from it all  Retreat,  a Sight Seeing rich in Spanish Culture and Heritage vacation or a Sunny Family Summer Holiday, you will not be disappointed.

The climate is sub tropical, sheltered from the northern winds by the Sierra Nevada and close to the coast of Africa.   This enables the growing of exotic fruits such as avocados, bananas, mangos and custard apples as well as the citrus fruit family and only place in Europe where Sugar Cane is grown. 

The area is predominantly agricultural  and unspoiled by tourism and the people, friendly.  A few words of Spanish learned go a long way.

Eating out, there is an amazing number and variety of local restaurants and bars to enjoy.  This is the only area now in Spain where the local bars still give a free Tapa (a bite of  food) to be enjoyed when buying a beer or a similar drink.

If your choice is for sight seeing then the famouse Alhambra Palaces and Gardens of the Generalife in Granada, just an hour away, must not be missed.
