While the main part of town is very compact and accessible via foot there is more to it than what a map can show you.

Each area also has a different look and feel and can be active all year or mainly during the summer months.

Almuñécar Monument to Water

The monument to water is one of the many monuments you will find around town. This one in particular is very interesting to look at. These are really three separate statues; three bronze torsos (one male and two females) leaping over fountains of water. Because the artist created without heads or complete bodies, some think they are a work in progress, but we assure you they are complete.
