The Costa Tropical is often referred to as the Costa Granada, it is less well known than its neighbour the Costa del Sol but has been growing in popularity in recent years. The Costa tropical retains more of a Spanish atmosphere than the busier Costa del Sol with some picturesque fishing villages on the coast and unspoilt whitewashed villages in the mountains overlooking the coast. The main town of the area is Almuņecar and its close neighbour La Herradura , together these form the centre of the tourism industry. Some of the most popular resorts are Salobrena, known as the jewel of the Costa Tropical, the lovely fishing town of Castell de Ferro, ideal for a laid back holiday and the largest resort resort town Motril.
