Cradle of the meditarranean culture on the Costa Tropical, Almuñécar in addition to its great historic past,has a splendid scenic base being between the sea and the mountains, enjoying a subtropical climate with mild temperatures throughout the year and, of course, its magnificent beaches.

The coming and going of so many peoples is well reflected in the great cultural heritage viewed in Almuñécar. The Phoenician Necropolis of the Bridge of Noy, the Cave of the Seven Palaces (Museum), the Monks Tower, the Columbario La Albina, the Arab Castle of San Miguel and the watchtowers or the Church of the Encarnación, are a fine sample of its wealth.
The Cruz del Santo is a priveleged place to view the diverse scenery which give Almuñécar its special character and from whose views you can see the diverse crops on which the exquisite local gastronomy is based, it being complemented by seafood.
