Costa Tropical, in the south of Spain, is truly a tropical delight and a wonderful destination for holidaymakers. Residing on the coast of Spain, the weather is perfect for a summer getaway or any trip where you wish to feel the sun on your skin.
Casa Gigantes is perched tall on the cliffside, providing unobstructed and breathtakingly beautiful views of the bay. La Herradura, the local seaside town, has absolutely everything you need to accent your stay and make it simply wonderful. It has been called the most picturesque of Costa Tropical's seaside villages, and simply looking around at the gorgeous cliffs, bay, and nature will show you exactly. The beach of la Herradura is less than 1km away from the villa, so warm sand is close at hand during your stay.
The area has an abundance of beautiful nature on offer, and as such, there are many different hiking areas and walking paths available for you to explore during your stay. One such route is along the Maro Cerro Gordo cliffs, a nature reserve home to an outstanding area of flora and fauna. Take a day to explore it, and perhaps even pack a picnic to stop and enjoy along the way as you overlook the ocean below.
The town centre, just 1.7km away, has a whole range of restaurants along its route, all offering a range of food for everyone to enjoy; tuck into local delicacies recommended by the waiters or choose something more recognisable to dig into. Enjoy wonderfully crafted cocktails that perfectly complement the sea breeze, or sip on tropical juices to cool you down from the warm sun.
History buffs, in particular, will delight in the rich history of La Herradura, as the bay was once a strategic port for both the Phoenicians and the Romans. Visit La Herradura Castle on the Western End of the town, an 18th Century monument built during Carlos III's reign. A little off the beaten path, this is just one of the area's incredible historical gems.
Head West to Marina Del Este to take part in some sailing on the calm waters of the ocean, or sign up for diving lessons and explore the depths of the ocean. If you fancy staying dry and on steady land, you can still stroll along the marina's edge and pop into one of the many waterfront restaurants and bars. Tuck into fresh fish cooked perfectly and listen to the sound of the ocean and the relaxing hum of the local area.
