Caves of Nerja
Nerja on the Costa Tropical offers 16km (10 miles) of beaches with powdery sand and sparkling waters.

Las Alpujarras
Las Alpujarras are a set of deep valleys where impossibly picturesque white villages of Moorish origin cling to the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada. They begin at Lanjarón, some 45km (28 miles) south of Granada, and are great for walking or vehicle-touring. Other highlights include Albuñol with its impressive 17th century Virgen del Rosario parish church and San Gregorio convent.
