Thank you for considering our apartment for your vacation. We would be very happy to share with you our second home and very much hope you will fall in love with it just like we did some years ago. The apartment building is located at the end of a dead end street, surrounded by lush tropical garden blooming year-round with incredible colors. Enjoy direct access to one of the nicest beaches in the area. A beach restaurant located directly on the beach is a perfect spot for glass of wine or a nice meal. Short walk along the coast will lead you to a charming Marina del Este, with more restaurants offering famous Andalusian cuisine. You will also find convenience store there, where you can buy fresh bread if you wish to have breakfast at the terrace in the apartment and enjoy the panoramic sea view. Right off “our” beach there are many amazing snorkeling spots with countless variety of fish population. Divers come here at any time of the year, day or night to admire the underwater world. You will understand why once you try it yourself. There are plenty of diving schools just steps away from the apartment.

Do not miss winter skiing in Sierra Nevada (126 slopes from December till April)) just 60 km away, so you can be back for dinner by the sea. You must try cycling trips through Maro National park where you can rent kayaks and paddle through several waterfalls along the beautiful park’s coast. Hiking in Maro National park which is on the other side of La Herradura village is also a must. You may even be lucky to be there in the right time to catch a concert in one of the major Spanish attractions - Caves of Nerja, located just 12 km away. Kids will love the SeaWorld or aqua park in city Almunecar just 6 km away. Also two major Andalucian cities with their rich history, Malaga and Granada, are within 1 hour drive.

The hidden gem La Herradura lies in relatively unknown part of costal area called Costa tropical. With its 320 sunny days each year it has the warmest winter temperature of continental Europe. Combination of light wind from Africa, warm Meditarien water sheltered by peaks of Sierra Nevada creates Europe’s only sub-tropical microclimate area, where you can buy local tropical fruits such as Guava, Papaya, Persimmon, Avocado, Mango ….. La Herradura what used to be small fishing village remains very local with almost no large hotel complex. Apartment is located on east side of the village on beautiful peninsula called Punta de la Mona. Many of its local beaches appear in the Top 10 Spanish beaches list. We are a family of five. Three boys and a lovely Spaniel called Dulce to add to the fun. We have bought the apartment and immediately fell in love with the place and the area. We hope to spend our retirement in Spain enjoying the great Spanish hospitality and weather one day.
