Playa De La Herradura — Attraction in Almuñécar

Ok so I loved it that much that I moved here. Ok there are a few things to point out though. It is a small village by the sea. There are a lot of foreigners and natives too, also holiday makers. Food is good to amazing, you can't really go wrong. Service is always better in the local places. More friendly more open more fun. The posh looking places, honestly I'm not a big fan of but they serve a purpose. There are some lush hotels to stay in. La Pension being by far the best value for money probably in Europe full stop.

La calidad y limpieza del agua es buena lo atestigua el coral naranja 🪸y puedes ver especies típicas del mediterráneo. En mi caso me topé con un pez aguja. Hay numerosas cavidades en el roqueo muy bonito de bucear en apnea. También tienes centros de buceo con bombona. Es una zona preciosa para hacer snorkeling y pádel surf. El problema es que se está masificando. Recomiendo utilizar boya 🛟 de señalización por la cantidad de tablas y embarcaciones que se acercan a la orilla sin control.

En la cala de la playa de Calaiza me encontré con un rebaño de hembras de cabras 🐐 montesas, lo último que te esperas encontrar cuando...
