Sun-splashed retreat in southern Spain
In the warm and sunny Andalucía region, Motril is a quieter spot than other locations along the aptly named Costa Tropical. Motril is the perfect choice for an serene retreat, but there are lots of things to do and places to eat within easy distance if you’re ready for more.
The town sits on a hilltop with lovely sea views, with Arab-Spanish influences in the old town. But frankly, the beaches are the scene-stealer. Over 300 days of sunshine a year add an almost omnipresent twinkle to the Alboran Sea that laps its coast.
Aside from the beautiful beaches, the food keeps people in the know about Motril coming back. It has a fishing port where boatloads of fresh fish and shellfish arrive daily. The menus in local restaurants champion more of the local produce too - the sweet mangos, avocados, and apples. Delicious.
