Apartment
Solbakken
and Location |
| Apartment
Solbakken is situated in the historic old town of Salobrena on the
Costa Tropical de Granada and has spectacular views over the Mediterranean
Sea and the snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountains.
There are not many opportunities to rent an apartment in the old
town of Salobrena with communal swimming pool included! The swimming
pool is open between the beginning of June and end of September
annually from 9 am to 9pm.
|
|
| |
The
apartment´s upper terrace has sunbathing and dining areas and
there are sun umbrellas for shade. From the sitting room is the second
terrace with views over the town and coastline. To relax on the terraces
whether by daytime or at night with the lights of the town twinkling
below is an unforgettable experience and an integral part of your
stay here. |
| Apartment Solbakken is tucked
away in a quiet residencial area a short walk from street parking.
It is on the 3rd floor with no lift. The accommodation includes
one double bedroom, one twin bedroom (two additional beds are available), fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher and large
bathroom with bath/shower. The spacious sitting/dining room has
satellite TV (free to air channels), DVD, CD player.

Although a car is recommended
to get the most out of your holiday it is not essential. Buses run
from Malaga, Granada, and Almeria to the bus station in Salobrena
and a local bus service will take you up to the end of our street
in the old town and down to the beach.
|
| Salobrena is really two
towns, the historic “casco antiguo” of traditional white
houses and narrow streets winding up to the castle, and the new
town of wider streets and shady boulevards below with all the bustle
in summer of a lively Spanish holiday resort. |
|
|
Salobrena has a life of its own independent of tourism so
plenty of restaurants and bars stay open even out of season. There
is a choice of at least four well stocked supermarkets for food
and other basics.
|
| A short stroll takes you to the Arab fort
and original town square, museum and the church of Our Lady of the
Rosary, built on the ruins of the mosque. A wider choice of restaurants
and shops is available down in the newer parts of town and along the
busy seafront with its sandy beaches - a short walk or even shorter
bus ride away. The Alpuharras national park and the Alhambra in Granada
are both less than an hour away. |
|
|
Salobrena has excellent beaches and restaurants.
The beaches are a short, steep walk downhill, a short drive or simply
take the bus which comes on the hour every hour from the top of the
road and does a circular route. |
| The beaches are clean and boast a
variety of activities from fishing by the famous El Penon restaurant
where you can dine with views overlooking the sea in both directions
or you may wish simply to sunbathe or do scuba diving/jet skiing further
up the 2 km stretch of beaches bordering the Paseo Maritimo. |
|
|
A short 20 minute drive westwards along the
coast is Almunecar, a busier resort but with its own castle and historic
quarter as well. This is the place to go for nightlife and a slightly
livelier sense of pace. The weekly flea market and summer jazz festival
are well worth taking in.
An even shorter trip along the coast in the other direction brings
you to Motril, a sizeable port and with a hypermarket and an extensive
array of fashionable shops and boutiques. |
| If you can see yourself
enjoying a quiet drink on the terraces with views across the town
and coastline, then this could be your ideal spot. We feel this
apartment offers a truly different holiday experience and a flavour
of the real Spain away from the ravages of mass tourism.
