Salobreņa is a lovely picturesque Spanish village that is ever growing and becoming more international. With it's 14th century Moorish castle perched atop the large rock which jets up from the surrounding planes Salobreņa is a truly Spanish white seaside village. Salobreņa has a current population of approximately 12,000 and is transforming  itself from it's roots as an
agricultural town to one where tourism and real estate are it's primary source of economic activity. The town is divided into two main areas that have now grown together. The old part of town or "Casco
Antiguo" is built on and around the large rock that
defines the towns topology. The newer beach area is teeming with sun worshipers of
all nationalities. Both parts of Salobreņa are full of shops,
restaurants, tapas bars, and cafes. There is a wide range of things to do and sights to see both in town and in the surrounding areas.
Between the coast and the city of
Granada are the
Apujarra mountains which are doted with interesting hillside white villages.
Also the larger Sierra Nevada mountains just outside Granada with a popular ski resort at the top. It is of course possible to enjoy a late spring day of skiing followed by sun bathing at the beach. The climate is truly sub tropical with mild winters, and summer temperatures in the mid to high 80 degrees F. ( 27 degrees C.) all combined with low humidity and soothing sea breezes. |
