Authentic Andalusian charm between sea and sierra
You can spend your days here enjoying the slow rhythm of the old town's flower-filled streets, before heading to one of the Blue Flag beaches or exploring nearby mountain trails. In the evening, life shifts to tapas terraces in the center or the livelier atmosphere of the marina. You might be surprised by the sheer number of flowers adorning every corner of the city.
