Almuñécar, Costa Tropical, Spain
Spend a week soaking in the breathtaking views of Costa Tropical. Feast your eyes on lush subtropical plants, wander through beautiful private estates, and meticulously designed gardens, including Alahambra's iconic Generalife gardens. Get lost in the maze of historic streets in the Albaicín, the oldest Moorish neighbourhood in Granada. We'll wander Almuñécar's castle, take a leisurely stroll through the park, shaded by palm trees, as well as its winding alleys and seafront promenade. From peaceful walks among orange trees and cypress trees to stop vibrant rose gardens, and avocado and cherimoya orchards, we'll experience them all. Five included excursions Albaicin (full day) Alhambra Palace and Generalife gardens (full day) Almunecar and Casa de los Bates (full day) Architectural gardens (full day) Malaga gardens (full day) Set on the pebble and sandy shores of San Cristobal in Almuñécar, Hotel Helios Costa Tropical is an idyllic setting for a relaxed break. It's three-star, but its dedication to service makes this gem a favourite among Saga travellers. Lounge by the heated outdoor pool or surrender to the spa's rejuvenating Jacuzzi featuring sea views. Whether you crave a mid-morning coffee or live music in the evening, the hotel's bar has you covered. Head to the roof terrace, too, for impressive sunset views. Or step outside and take a walk along the seafront promenade and find yourself a quaint cafe to people watch.

Included excursions
Albaicin
The first optional excursion of the week features an exploration of the Albaicín, the oldest Moorish quarter in Granada. Situated on a steep hill facing the Alhambra, this is where the Zirid Monarchs first established their court in the 11th century. It’s like stepping back in time as you navigate a maze of narrow streets in search of markets, mosques, and the ancient city gateway. You'll also be invited to enjoy the Mudéjar style gardens of Casa Morisca del Chapiz. In the afternoon, it will be the upper sections of the Albaicín that catch the attention with dramatic views and stolen glimpses into small, secreted gardens adding to the allure of ancient Andalucía.
Location
