of sandy, small coves.

Natural surroundings
From here you can almost reach out and touch Africa. The dramatic results are what give the Costa Tropical its special geography and climate, so unlike any other coastline in southern Spain.
Rugged hills soar up steeply from valley floors or plunge dramatically into the sea. Once forested, now bare hillsides provide a marginal foothold for almond, olive, and the hardy carob tree; and above everything, towers the grand Sierra Nevada.
Climate
The mountain range, which boasts the highest peak in mainland Spain, from a natural weather-break which protects the coastline from the worst influences of the European winters, while Africa, to the south, helps buffer the harsh effects of both the Mediterranean and Atlantic weather.
As a result, the area has an extraordinarily benign subtropical climate, which can be seen in the variety of exotic products to be found in the local markets, especially the different fruits.
