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.
