The jewel of the Costa Tropical Salobrena is a whitewashed township clinging to huge lump of rock just back from the shoreline, topped by a Moorish castle and surrounded by lush sugar cane plantations. A mere 45 minutes from Granada, and just over an hour to the Sierra Nevada, Salobrena is also ideally situated for exploring the Alpujarra, some forty minutes away.
In the heat, it can be an exhausting climb to the top of the old town, but it's well worth the effort. From various viewpoints, you can drink in the rugged landscape of the Sierra del Chaparral which cradles the town to the back, while under the cliffs are orchards of sub-tropical fruit trees and expanses of sugar cane spreading to the shoreline.
