Monte de los Almendros offers fantastic, breathtaking panoramic views to Salobreña, the often snow-covered foothills of the Sierra Nevada and the coastline of the Costa Tropical.

Contrary to other places on the Costa del Sol this area is still unaffected by mass-tourism and owns its wealth primarily because of the agriculture with cultivating cane, mangos, chirimoyas and bananas.



The picturesque small town of Salobreña has about 10,000 inhabitants and is located about 5 minutes drive from Monte de los Almendros, on a hill with a majestic, at night illuminated castle on the top.

Along Salobreña's promenade there are numerous restaurants and tapas bars for enjoying the culinary specialities of the region. Only here, on the Costa Tropical, delicious little snacks, called tapas, are still served for free with the wine.

Don't miss to visit Granada with its world-famous Alhambra, or beautiful Malaga on the Costa del Sol!

To both cities it is only about one hour drive. Also worth a visit are the beautiful caves of Nerja, which are located on the road to Malaga.

And the southernmost skiing area of Europe, where the ski world championships 1996 took place, is only ~100 km from here! Only in the summer months the Sierra Nevada strips its white hood.

The highest mountain, the Pico Mulhacén reaches the height of 3482m and to the neighbouring Pico de Veleta leads the highest road of Europe. Here the skiing area is open starting from a height of 2000 meters. In summer one can normally drive on the summit of the Pico de Veleta drive. And with clear view one even sees the coast of Africa!
