The Church

Tower of the Church

Built on the Muslim mosque, it's a Mudejar style church (XVI century). The cover was made by a primitive wood paneling that burned in 1821, forcing coat and restore the interior of the building.

A subtropical microclimate

Its situation on the mediterranean coast, between the African continent and the Sierra Nevada which contains the highest peaks in the Peninsula, protect Salobreña  - in the heart of the Costa Tropical - against the northen winds creating a subtropical microclimate. The impressive 320 days of sunshine per year and an average temperature of approximately 20ºC offer the ideal conditions for the cultivation of a wide range of tropical fruits in the area's foodplains, which can be explored thanks to the wide network of rural roads and footpaths enclosing the plantations and groves.

The castle

Salobreña's Castle is the most important monument of this town of Granada, Andalucia

Panorama from the castle

We know the existence of a fortress in Salobreña from the tenth century. Although the distribution corresponds to the building which was built in the Nasrid period, the Arab castle is the result of input from Muslim and Christian architecture.

From the sea and the tropics

La Caleta - La Guardia

Seafood and tropical fruit are the main ingredients of Salobreña's cuisine and that of its adjoining villages, Lobres and La Caleta- Guardia. The local specialities include espetos de sardina (skewered sardines), salted fish, and the traditional fried fish.

Travelling back in time

The Bóveda

In adittion to the Church of El Rosario - in Mudejar style - Salobreña's main attractions include several parks, miradors and streets which can be explored whilst following one of the performance style guides of the historic centre.

The Nasrid imprint

Castle

Salobreña's ideal location and rich natural surroundings attracted nomerous peoples - the Argaric, the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Romans, and finally the Arabs- who chose to settle there. This is confirmed by remains found at Monte Hacho, or the Paleo-Christian necropolis which sits on Salobreña's crag.
