Discover the Heart of Real Spain – Welcome to Almuñécar

If you're searching for a truly authentic Spanish experience, you've just found it. Almuñécar, perched on the sun-drenched Costa Tropical, is where tradition meets adventure, history blends with modern living, and every day feels like a celebration. Blessed with a subtropical climate, Almuñécar enjoys over 320 days of sunshine each year. Winter days hover around a pleasant 20ºC, while summer brings balmy temperatures of up to 30ºC—perfect for beach days, lazy lunches, and sunset strolls. It’s the perfect place to unwind, explore, and be inspired.

Wander through charming tapas bars, savour the flavours of the Mediterranean, and get swept up in the rhythm of life through spectacular fiestas and festivals. From the dramatic Semana Santa Easter processions, the vibrant San Miguel fiesta in September, to the awe-inspiring La Fiesta de la Virgen de la Antigua on August 15th—featuring one of the largest firework displays in Europe—Almuñécar knows how to celebrate. And don’t miss the soulful sounds of the Jazz en la Costa festival each July, when world-class music fills the warm summer air.

The Costa Tropical stretches for 75 km, largely untouched by mass tourism—unlike the neighboring Costa del Sol. Here, you’ll find unspoiled beaches, traditional villages, and breathtaking scenery. Inland, the magical city of Granada awaits, home to the awe-inspiring Alhambra Palace and the majestic Sierra Nevada mountainsWhat makes this region even more special is its incredible variety of experiences. In the winter, you can ski the slopes of Sierra Nevada in the morning and be sunbathing on the beach by afternoon. Spring brings white-water rafting in the Alpujarras, summer is all about scuba diving and beach hopping, and autumn is ideal for slowing down and exploring at your own pace.

But Almuñécar isn’t just about celebration—its roots run deep. The town’s rich history dates back to 800 BC, when the Phoenicians established it as an important port named Sexi, renowned for its fish salting and curing. The Romans followed around 200 BC, leaving behind remarkable aqueducts and expanding the thriving seafood trade—remnants of which you can still explore today.

During the Moorish period, Almuñécar gained its iconic hilltop castle, later transformed under Christian rule into the striking Castillo de San Miguel. Nearby, the beautiful Baroque church, La Iglesia de la Encarnación, built in 1600, offers another glimpse into the town’s ever-evolving story.

Today, Almuñécar is a captivating blend of past and present. Its rich history, fresh local produce, tropical fruit, and seafood-based gastronomy continue to delight, while modern amenities like scuba diving, golf, and remote working facilities make it perfect for both leisure and lifestyle.

Whether you're planning a relaxing getaway or looking for an inspiring place to live and work, Almuñécar and Exclusive-Tropical offer the best of both worlds.

Come for the sun. Stay for the soul. Almuñécar is waiting.
