The sights include ancient Phoenician and Roman ruins, castle, gastronomic museum, and an expansive stretch of inviting beaches - just to name a few ways to spend the day. For the sportsminded, all types of water sports are possible, as well as rural walks into the surrounding hills (where the panoramic views are amazing), horseback riding, paragliding and mountain biking. During the warm summer months, "tapa" bars are bursting with life well into the wee hours of the morning.
There are several 3, 4 and 5 star hotels in the area, as well as campsites and rural lodgings (called "cortijos"). And if Wellness is of interest, in the area there are several practitioners of Reiki, massage, personality building, life coaching and so on. The Alpujarra mountain area is approximately 1 hr. away and is known for its serene natural environment.
Almunecar is equidistant from both Granada and Malaga airports, 55 minutes by car on the newly extended highway. The local bus transportation is quite good, but alas there is no train service - yet.
The town's website is quite informative and useful: '''www.almunecar.info'''
