Day Trip to Almunecar Aquapark
amapola66 Says: We spent a day in Almunecar Aquapark. It's only a 13 kilometre journey from Salobrena and takes around 15 mins.It's not a huge aquapark by any means, but plenty enough to keep three small people of 8,10 & 11 amused for hours. They really enjoyed the slides, especially the...
Swan around looking beautiful ...
amapola66 Says: Of course, after some weeks of swimming, sunbathing, relaxing and eating good food in Salobrena...One needs to show off ones tan and dress accordingly glam for an evening out.In Salobrena, as in much of Spain, people often start their evening with a paseo - a stroll along...
amapola66 Says: The Gypsy Dancer and I took a strong liking to El Penon retsuarant on the beach. Their seafood and salads were great and they served a particularly nice white Rioja wine to wash it down with. The view from the restaurant was fantastic - a perfect setting to eat, drink and be...
amapola66 Says: The old village of Salobrena perched on a large rock jutting out of the landscape, is a wonderful Moorish Maze of old winding streets, white painted houses built higgledy-piggledy on top of one another and crowned by a 10th centuary castle on the top. Unlike some of the...
amapola66 Says: It was August and it was hot. Although I should point out, that Salobrena does not seem to get as hot as other places along that coast thanks to a cool sea breeze, the climate was perfect.We spent day after day with the small people, doing absolutely nothing but lying on the...
amapola66 Says: We saw some good flamenco this trip. Not your cheesy cabaret style, but local flamenco in relaxed surroundings. The gypsy Dancer taught the Small People a Tangos which they practised at every opportunity They got pretty good. Here they are dancing in the grounds of Salobrena...
Tayto Says: The old town of Salobrena is a series of small streets with whitewashed buildings. The old blends well with the new behind the whitewash and the narrow streets rise up to the old fort at the top of the hill on which the town was built. The newer part of the town spreads down...
Tayto Says: The beach in Salobrena is a long shingle / pebble beach. It has plenty of bars / restuarants / pizza places along it but when we were the season hadn't started yet and many were not open. It was the May bank holiday and as the whether ws good a lot of people came to the...
Tayto Says: If you are in Salobrena you should go down to the old sugar cane fields beneath the Castle. They are still being cultivated today as they have been for hundreds of years, although tractors are now used to cut the cane. The factory is still in use and when you are in the area...
Tayto Says: This is an old fort built by the Moors and is perched on the rocky outcrop overlooking Salobrena. The narrow windy streets up to the castle are a challenge if you are driving and a bigger one if you are walking as they are all up hill lol ! Check the opening times ...the...
Meson La Teja: A great little bar/restaurant near the sea
Dan&Miranda Says: We came across this little bar & restaurant late one night in February and just about everywhere was closed except Meson de Teja on the Paseo Maritimo in Salobrena. It is run by a fabulous couple, Jose and Nines, who make you feel like you have come to visit them in their...
Argentina Steakhaus: Salobrena Steakhouse
Tayto Says: great steaks that you cook yourself at your table on stone slabs. The stones are baked in the oven and you cut your steak in thin strips and place them on the stones and remove when done to your taste. you can have pork or chicken alternatives to steak.Great meal but not for...
Casa Roja: In search of el duende?
amapola66 Says: We were lucky enough to be in Salobrena for the Festival Flamenco ‘Lucero del Alba’ in August. The Gyspy Dancer, myself and the Small People made enquiries at the Casa de Culture in town and came out smiling with our tickets (8 euros for the two adults, small people free of...
amapola66 Says: Pick up the E902 (also called N323) highway to Motril to get to Salobrena from Granada and back. This takes you through the Lecrin valley (meaning the ‘Vale of Happiness’ in Arabic). The route is rather scenic (for those not keeping both eyes on the road!) and you pass some...
windcity Says: Quite by surprise we stumbled upon a church run charity shop half way up the hill towards the castle. This large building is interesting in its own right, painted ceilings, carved door-ways, an elegant staircase. I'm no expert and I didn't get to ask about the house so If...
The invasion of the jelly fish!
amapola66 Says: As some of you who spent some time on the Med last year may know, there was an invasion of jelly fish all over - Spain, France and Italy too from what we heard. Thousands of the horrible little things drifted to shallow water making it impossible to swim. Apparently, this...
amapola66 Says: Sun cream (lots of), swim suit, a long gypsy skirt or two (essential) with a couple of small tops that'll do for day or dress up with some jewlery for evening, comfortable walking shoes for those cobbled streets (i find espedrills give me blisters on those cobbles), a...
watch dolphins from your villa
Tayto Says: we rented a fantastic villa from Margaret Lingwood (Lingwood Immobelia in Salobrena). The road rises sharply and winds up the cliff on the road just outside the town. There are fantastic views of the town and the sea.
