| Summary |

|
|
| Apartment Solbakken is situated in the historic old town of Salobrena on the Costa Tropical de Granada and has spectacular views over the Mediterranean Sea and the snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountains.
There are not many opportunities to rent an apartment in the old town of Salobrena with communal swimming pool included! The swimming pool is open between the beginning of June and end of September annually from 9 am to 9pm.
The apartment´s upper terrace has sunbathing and dining areas and there are sun umbrellas for shade. From the sitting room is the second terrace with views over the town and coastline. To relax on the terraces whether by daytime or at night with the lights of the town twinkling below is an unforgettable experience and an integral part of your stay here.
Apartment Solbakken is tucked away in a quiet residencial area a short walk from street parking. It is on the 3rd floor with no lift. The accommodation includes one double bedroom, one twin bedroom, fully fitted kitchen and large bathroom with bath/shower. The spacious sitting/dining room has satellite TV (free to air channels), DVD, CD player.
Although a car is recommended to get the most out of your holiday it is not essential. Buses run from Malaga, Granada, and Almeria to the bus station in Salobrena and a local bus service will take you up to the end of our street in the old town and down to the beach.
Salobrena is really two towns, the historic “casco antiguo” of traditional white houses and narrow streets winding up to the castle, and the new town of wider streets and shady boulevards below with all the bustle in summer of a lively Spanish holiday resort. It is a sizeable town and local centre with a life of its own independent of tourism so plenty of restaurants and bars stay open even out of season. There is a choice of at least four well stocked supermarkets for food and other basics.
A short stroll takes you to the Arab fort and original town square, museum and the church of Our Lady of the Rosary, built on the ruins of the mosque. A wider choice of restaurants and shops is available down in the newer parts of town and along the busy seafront with its sandy beaches - a short walk or even shorter bus ride away. The Alpuharras national park and the Alhambra in Granada are both less than an hour away.
Salobrena has excellent beaches and restaurants. The beaches are a short, steep walk downhill, a short drive or simply take the bus which comes on the hour every hour from the top of the road and does a circular route. The beaches are clean and boast a variety of activities from fishing by the famous El Penon restaurant where you can dine with views overlooking the sea in both directions or you may wish simply to sunbathe or do scuba diving/jet skiing further up the 2 km stretch of beaches bordering the Paseo Maritimo.
A short 20 minute drive westwards along the coast is Almunecar, a busier resort but with its own castle and historic quarter as well. This is the place to go for nightlife and a slightly livelier sense of pace. The weekly flea market and summer jazz festival are well worth taking in.
An even shorter trip along the coast in the other direction brings you to Motril, a sizeable port and with a hypermarket and an extensive array of fashionable shops and boutiques.
If you can see yourself enjoying a quiet drink on the terraces with views across the town and coastline, then this could be your ideal spot. We feel this apartment offers a truly different holiday experience and a flavour of the real Spain away from the ravages of mass tourism. |
