Playa Salobreña

I'll walk beside you hand in hand
Where the golden surf cries out for land.
With every dream within our reach
Where the sea comes in to kiss the beach.

Factoid: Salobrena is a whitewashed town clinging to huge lump of rock just back from the shoreline, topped by a Moorish castle and surrounded by lush sugar cane plantations. With over eight kilometres of coastline Salobreña it is a jewel of the Costa Tropical Granada. Salobrena's two main beaches, Playa de la Charca and the Playa de la Guardia are separated by a huge half-submerged rock known as El Peñon..
A mere 45 minutes from Granada, and just over an hour from the ski runs of the Sierra Nevada, Salobrena is also ideally situated for exploring the Alpujarra, some forty minutes away. From October to April, you could be in the happy position of being able to ski during the morning and return to sunbathe on Salobrena's beaches in the afternoon.
