The beautiful Costa Tropical is definitely Spain's best kept secret, and best of all is the unspoilt, pretty village of La Herradura. The sweeping horseshoe bay ('herradura' is spanish for 'horseshoe') with it´s 2km long beach and excellent restaurants makes for a superb holiday destination. Whether you are looking for a relaxing break or an activity filled adventure this is the perfect location.

The large, private terrace, with sunbeds, table and chairs and a retractable sun canopy, provides a fantastic vantage point for alfresco dining, whether a late breakfast or an evening BBQ (gas barbecue provided). Watch the parasailers gliding across the valley from their launching site on the distant hillside opposite, as you enjoy a drink.
The beautiful pool sits in tropical gardens and has panoramic sea views.
To take full advantage of the views the living area, kitchen, toilet and terrace is on the 2nd floor. The spacious lounge/diner with its two sofas, dining table and chairs, provides a comfortable space to relax, read, watch DVDs or TV (English language Sky Freeview).

Granada is 1 hour by car for a visit to the Alhambra Palace, a must-see World Heritage Site.

Modern air-conditioned coaches ply the route regularly; the scenery en route is worth the ticket alone, including the awesome dam at Rules which the new motorway crosses.
Historians will have much to discover about the area’s Moorish influences, as well as reminders of Spain’s more recent turbulent past. Let us know if you want more info.
Nerja with its spectacular caves is a 15 minute drive down the motorway, or take the old road which hugs the coast – a great drive with even better views.
The Alpujarras in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range are well worth a day out – the mountain scenery and vegetation being very different to the coast. Made famous by the ex Genesis drummer Chris Stewart in his best seller “Driving Over Lemons”, it’s the land that time forgot with timeless mountain villages clinging to the high slopes of the Sierra. From autumn to early summer you can be above the snowline in under 2 hours.
From December to April there is great skiing, snowboarding, sledging in the Sierra Nevada for all levels of experience plus an excellent children's activity area. It is only an 80/90 minute easy drive door to door. The skiing village has a large selection of hire shops, restaurants, bars and cafes. Many guests go just to relax with a coffee and enjoy the stunning views. It must be one of the few places in Europe where you can sit on the beach one day and go skiing the next!
