The Guide to Almuñecar & La Herradura In English
As you know Malaga is the nearest airport to Almuñécar, and if you want to explore Spain while you are here, then a car rental from Malaga airport is a great option. You will be able to get off the beaten path and discover small villages, move on your own time schedule, and likely get a better deal by renting a car at the Malaga airport. We will review with you some of your options for your car rental Malaga Airport.
You have arrived in Spain, and perhaps you want to get local cell phone service. Where do you go? What do need to buy? This post will provide some tips and strategies for getting connected.
We will cover two potential scenarios that new arrivals face having moved to Spain:
What better way to experience a bit of local culture than to enjoy a wine tasting. Spend the afternoon at a local bodega with wine tasting, olive oil tasting and tapas. It is also just around the corner from the historic Roman Aqueduct!
If you would like to really explore Costa Tropical, beyond the Paseo, then renting a bike is the option for you. There are wonderful year round bike shops in town and are very reputable and friendly.
When getting settled into your new place, you will likely be on the lookout for the local furniture stores. There are a few small stores with limited selections right in town or you have the option of traveling to some of the larger stores.
With over 19 km of coastline, the La Herradura & Almuñécar beaches (Almuñecar playas) are for everyone. Of course, some of the most popular are those which are easily accessible and right in the urban area of town. There are also several which are secluded or offer small coves or cliffs, for a little variety. Many of the beaches are covered with stones or pebbles, there are even some with dark sand. We think these are some of the best beaches in Granada, playas de Almuñecar.
Did you know there are speed cameras in Almuñécar? This shouldn’t be a big surprise, as there are road signs clearly marking the speed radar zone. That said, when you have beautiful scenery you are looking at or on the hunt for a parking space, you can easily miss those signs. Needless to say when you receive that multa (fine) in the mail, with a photo of your car, it doesn’t feel good. Of course the next reaction is denial and that it couldn’t have been you, as you don’t speed.
While we aren’t aware of any dedicated vegetarian restaurants in La Herradura, there are many who are vegetarian friendly. If they don’t specifically have something on the menu, be sure to ask to alter their menu items. For example, even when you order a salad, you need to be careful, as many come with ham or tuna. Just specify when you order, as all of the La Herradura restaurants are very friendly.
There are two self service laundry locations in town and it will help you loads. Yes, we have long-awaited a self-service laundromat, and now we have two, in P4 and on Av. Europa!

Since moving to Spain in 2006, I have thrown myself headfirst into Spanish cuisine. Initially, I was happy just to eat it, but as time went on I wanted to be able to recreate those experiences at home.
