| Summary |
 |
|
|
| Situated on the Costa Tropical, Salobrena is a beautiful Andalucian town built on a craggy hill overlooking the Mediterranean. At the top of the hill is the Arab castle where incredible views of the coastline and Sierra Nevada mountains can be enjoyed. The maze of narrow streets beneath the castle offers a charming introduction of Moorish Spain to the visitor.
Casa Las Golondrinas is a perfect holiday destination, designed and furnished by the owners as a real home away from home, newly and well equipped throughout. The house is situated in a tranquil location and with only a footpath running alongside the house, there is no noise from passing traffic. The terrace, with patio furniture has fantastic views across the Costa Tropical coastline. The ground floor terrace has BBQ and patio furniture.
This 2 bedroom property is set beneath the Arab Castle amongst the traditional white Moorish houses of Salobrena old town. The house is located just a short walk from many excellent bars and restaurants and is a 15 minute walk to the beach. Parking is possible in the nearby streets for those with a car but it should be noted that the hilly streets in the old town may not be suitable for those with walking difficulties. There are bus and taxi services in the town at very reasonable prices.
The house offers spacious accommodation to a high standard. The sitting room has satellite TV, DVD and doors leading to the terrace. There are two spacious bedrooms (one double and a twin bedroom) and a large bathroom with full length bath/shower. The house sleeps 4 but it can be rented with Casa Las Palmeras which shares entry through the ground floor patio entrance/BBQ terrace and can therefore sleep a total of 9 people.
The Chiringuito bars along the mile long beach offer a variety of refreshments and are exceptionally good value. It is in an ideal location whether you are looking to relax or enjoy the activities that Andalucia has to offer. The Sierra Nevada, Spain's highest mountain range, is a magnificent backdrop to this partly undiscovered area of Spain. The area enjoys a microclimate, subtropical in character, a warm and gentle 18 degrees in winter and an average of 25 degrees in summer.
The beaches on the Costa Tropical are unspoiled, there are golf courses in Granada (18 holes) and Los Moriscos golf course (currently 9 holes with the 18 hole course opening approx May 2006) just 3km from Salobrena, by the sea with a restaurant and bar. There is also the Marina at the Port of Motril. In the winter months you can go skiing in the Sierras in the morning and sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon.
This is the old Andalucian part of Spain, complete with fiestas, whitewashed villages, Moorish castles and some of the best and least expensive food and wine to be found. The restaurants and tapas bars are very good and the fish is excellent. There is history to be found everywhere, from the Alhambra Palace in Granada (just 50 minutes by car) to the Alpujarras region. The coastal towns of Almeria, Almunecar, Motril and Nerja are also well worth a visit.
