Things to do in Almuñécar

Almuñécar is considered one of the most attractive and futuristic destinations on the Andalusian coast. Its coastline is known as the Costa Tropical, which perfectly describes its extensive beaches, excellent weather conditions and exuberant tropical and subtropical vegetation. This makes for a unique combination, not only on the Iberian Peninsula, but in Europe as a whole.

Peña Escrita Ecological Complex

People who like nature will love this natural setting on a balcony at an altitude of 1,100 metres. From here, you can discern the peaks of Sierra Nevada, the Alpujarra region's landscape and the merging of the Costa Tropical valley with the Mediterranean. This region is also home to an animal reserve that has been developed in a safe, quiet setting. It is also the perfect place to enjoy all kinds of outdoor sports, such as hiking, mountain biking and hang gliding.

Cultural Tours

More than 3000 years of history and the passage of different civilisations have left an important artistic legacy that includes monuments and archaeological remains: San Miguel Castle, La Herradura Castle, Roman fish salting factories, a necropolis, Roman aqueducts... Some can be seen at the Municipal Archaeological Museum.
This is in addition to centres such as El Majuelo Archaeological and Botanical Park, Loro Sexi Ornithological Park, Aquatropic Water Park and a wide range of leisure options available during the day and at night. This ensures Almuñécar is a popular destination year round. Despite this, the town continues to back new products like conference and convention tourism, cultural tourism and sports and adventure tourism. In this regard, water and underwater activities are the star attractions thanks to the recent creation of the Costa Tropical Nautical Association, which is registered in the National Network of Nautical Resorts. HOTEL VICTORIA PLAYA is a founding member of this association.
