An Unforgettable Day on the Costa Tropical, Almuñécar, La Herradura and Kayak on the Mediterranean

The Costa Tropical of Granada preserves one of the oldest historical legacies in Andalusia. Almuñécar was founded by the Phoenicians more than three thousand years ago, and its urban fabric retains layers of civilisation spanning the Punic, Roman and Arab periods, still visible in its streets, necropolises and botanical gardens.

The day begins with a guided tour of Almuñécar's historic centre. The Peñones de San Cristóbal mark the city's skyline as the route descends toward Parque El Majuelo, a botanical garden housing one of the best-preserved Phoenician necropolises on the peninsula. The expert local guide places each corner within the broader narrative of a city with more than thirty centuries of history.

Following the cultural visit, free time opens up to explore the town independently or visit the optional Parque Loro Sexi, a subtropical fauna and flora space shaped by the unique microclimate of this coastal strip.

The afternoon moves to La Herradura, a sheltered natural bay of clean waters and exceptional seabed. Free time on the beach for swimming and relaxing on the Mediterranean shore. For those seeking a more active experience, an optional kayak route is available toward the caves of La Herradura accessible only by sea with snorkel included to discover the seabed of one of the richest marine reserves in Andalusia.
