The small but perfectly formed bay of Cotobro is located within the province of Granada on the Southern Coast of Spain in a small town (20,000) called Almuñecar.
The climate is subtropical with a median winter temperature of 16 and 25 in summer. Celsius that is!
The area is rich in history and there are many beautiful castle ruins, Roman Viaducts & the 40million year old Nerja Caves to name but a few of the sights you can visit nearby.
But enough of history! This area is all about lifestyle. A somewhat lazy lifestyle right next to the sea. The southern Spanish culture is all about work to live, not live to work. The entire country seems to take the whole of July & August for vacations and many of them migrate to the Andalucian beaches, swelling the population to triple that of its normal population. Fresh seafood, great wines, easy living. Everybody lives at the beach in summer and the beachbars (chirungitas) & clubs enjoy the influx of tourists that awaken the normally sleepy town and turn it into a beachside fiesta mecca for a few months of the year.
About Me
- Mary
- Originally from New Zealand, I have lived in Europe (Warsaw, London, Granada) for ten years since I sold my advertising company in 1999. I am 42 and childfree, whoopee! (kids are great but I couldn´t possibly commit for a lifetime!) People often ask me 'What do you do all day?'. I really don´t know where my time goes, I travel a lot and receive a lot of visitors due to my beachside location. When I´m not abroad or hosting, I lose hours and hours in home decorating shops. Or waiting for tradesmen. I have a love/hate relationship with renovating. I like to play the property market and love to conceptualise; but the reality of what's achievable in Spain is another matter...
