This is one of the best-known coastal towns in Granada for its good location. A town with medieval airs, narrow alleys and white houses that becomes an ideal place to spend a few days to relax.
The Peñón de Salobreña beach is the best known. It is 1850 meters long and the crystalline color of its waters stands out, which gently caress the rock every time they approach land.
Also in Salobreña is the beautiful beach of Cambrón, at the foot of a mountainous system. A totally virgin gravel beach and only 86 meters long. It is so isolated from everything that you will have to walk about two kilometers to reach it.
Granada capital is about 60 kilometers away, so if you want to stay in Salobreña, you already know that visiting the Mozarabic city will not be a big problem.
