What the Costa Tropical is
The Costa Tropical is the coastline of the province of Granada, in Andalusia, between the Costa del Sol and the coast of Almería. The mountains come almost down to the sea and shelter the coast from the cold, which is why subtropical fruit such as custard apple, avocado and mango is grown here. Its main towns are Almuñécar, Salobreña and Motril. PulseCosta presents it together with the city of Granada and Monachil, home of the Sierra Nevada ski resort.
Towns and what to look for in each
- Almuñécar: town beaches, coves and the bay of La Herradura, popular for diving.
- Salobreña: a white village on a rock, with a castle and the beach below.
- Motril: the largest town on the coast, with a port, wide beaches and life all year round.
- Torrenueva Costa, Gualchos, Rubite, Polopos, Sorvilán and Albuñol: small villages and quiet beaches to the east.
- Granada: the Alhambra, the Albaicín and a tapas culture of its own.
- Monachil: the gateway to Sierra Nevada, with skiing in winter and hiking in summer.

Plans by time of day
On the coast, the day is for beaches, coves and the promenade, with beach bars open mainly in season. In Granada, the usual plan is the Alhambra in the morning, with tickets bought in advance, and tapas in the evening in the centre or the Realejo. In winter you can ski in Sierra Nevada and be on the coast the same day. The list below gathers the events published for the next 14 days.
Getting around
The A-44 motorway links Granada with Motril, and the A-7 follows the coast towards Málaga and Almería. Intercity buses connect Granada with Motril, Salobreña and Almuñécar. There is no train or metropolitan transport consortium on the coast, so check timetables before you set off. Within Granada there is a light metro and city buses.
