Costa Tropical Granada - having the best climate of all the Spanish costas, it is little wonder this area is a popular holiday destination for the Spanish people.  The Costa Tropical has been largely unaffected by mass tourism and over building which has ruined other areas.

Enjoying a sub-tropical microclimate found nowhere else in mainland Europe, the Costa Tropical is protected from winter weather by the Sierra Nevada mountain range and therefore experiences temperatures more akin to those found in exotic locations.

With 320 or more days of sunshine each year the area is ideal for those who like to spend time outside pursuing activities - just think, no more planning what to do at the weekend "if the weather's OK".

The Costa Tropical is served by three airports, Granada, Malaga and Almeria, all of which benefit from year round low cost flights.

Tropical Valley and villages of the western Costa Tropical - if you go a little inland from the western Costa Tropical you find an area that has many traditional white villages where "real Spain" can be experienced but only minutes from the coast.

Watered by age old, intricate irrigation systems using snow melt from the Sierra Nevada mountains, this lush green valley produces a variety of tropical fruits including, mango, bananas, papayas, custard apples, kiwis and avocados amongst many others.

The traditional white villages found throughout the tropical valley are still very much "real Spain", but close enough to the coast and larger towns with all the amenities.  A fortunate position providing the peace and quite of a rural life whilst not being "cut off" which can occur when purchasing too far inland.

The climate is very similar to the coastal towns.  There are many popular walking routes in the area.  These village are similar to those discovered in the Alpujarras, however, in general the prices are more reasonable and they are more accessible to the coast and airports making them ideal for holiday homes.

Lecrin Valley and villages south of Granada - located between the centre of the Costa Tropical and Granada city, this area is ideally situated with easy access to the city, the coast, the ski resort of the Sierra Nevada, the Alpujarras and Granada airport.

From small traditional white villages to larger towns with all facilities, you can be sure to find a property to suit your needs.

The climate is more Mediterranean, generally a little hotter in the summer and a few degrees cooler in the winter than the coast.

The superb ski resort of Sol y Nieve is open from late November to late April.
