Serviced Apartments in Almuñécar

Just a one hour drive to be east of Malaga, Almuñécar is an alternative Costa del Sol destination for those looking to enjoy the beach in a slightly more cultured environment. The city has a population of less than 30,000 meaning you will find all the necessary amenities and infrastructure, without the 24 hour party atmosphere of the larger nearby cities. There are some excellent holiday apartments in Almuñécar, many of which overlook the Mediterranean Sea.

More specifically, Almuñécar is located on the Costa Tropical which is famous for its varied coastline of beaches and coves with a mountainous backdrop. This gives the area a little bit more character than some other coastal regions of Spain, making it an interesting area to explore as well as to enjoy the comforts of the beach. This is something previous civilisations certainly did, with Phoenician, Roman, Berber and Christian influences all on show. One of the most striking attractions near to Almuñécar city centre (center) apartments is the giant Roman aqueduct, just 2 km from the town.

The three main beaches in the city are called the Playa el Tesorillio, Playa Velilla and Playa San Cristobal and they each have something a little different to offer. The first of these translates to ‘The Little Treasure’ and is well named as it is a small but almost perfect sandy beach. The Velilla is more notable for walking than sunbathing as it has more pebbles than sand. Lastly, the San Cristobal is lined by a wide and impressive promenade where most of the bars, restaurants and holiday lettings in Almuñécar are found.

An Almuñécar self-catered apartment or serviced residence will also give you access to some wonderful architectural and historical attractions. At various locations in the city you will find excavations of both Phoenician and Roman sites. A small Roman aqueduct and baths were recently discovered and excavated right in the middle of the city centre and is a very interesting spot for fans of such history.  The old town itself is full of quaint old buildings and history and should definitely be explored and enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

Other fantastic landmarks include the Church of the Incarnation, the Royal Fountain which dates back to 1559 and the Castle San Miguel; and impressive building overlooking the seafront. Booking a serviced apartment in Almuñécar will certainly provide you with the best of both worlds; access to wonderful beaches and water sports, and also plenty of historical architecture and Spanish history.
