If you are a nature lover, this is the holiday destination for you. Choose a holiday in Motril and discover the beautiful landscapes offered by the beaches and mountains of this Granada town, try your hand at some sport and visit all its hidden corners.

Motril is a coastal area whose history is marked by the cultivation of sugar cane, an activity dating back to the 10th century. It’s also located in a superb area, halfway between the capitals of three Andalusian provinces: Granada, Malaga and Almeria.

Visit the Preindustrial Sugar Museum to understand the importance of this crop to the history of the town, fall in love with the beauty of the Parque de los Pueblos de América and climb up to the shrine of Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza. Work on the temple started in 1631, and the site crowns the hill that gives it its name, where you can enjoy incredible views. Finally, discover some of its gorgeous beaches, which have received the Blue Flag award, like Granada, La Joya and Calahonda, as well as its castle, built in the 18th century.

Try your hand at some water sports such as scuba diving, paddle surfing and sailing. If you prefer the mountains, why not try some canyoning, rock climbing or caving, and, if you’d like to get a bird’s-eye view, you should definitely take a helicopter ride.

Before you leave, delight your palate with some of the typical products of the area, such as cherry tomatoes , avocados and custard apples, and discover the delicious quisquilla shrimps and Torta Real cake.

Sports, cuisine, nature, history... You’ve got everything you need for a great holiday with our trips to Motril.

Ci siamo trovati bene, peccato che le ultime tre sere, forse per la scarsità delle presenze, il ristorante è stato ridotto in uno spazio più piccolo ma anche la varietà del cibo ha subito una considerevole riduzione.
