Casa Tranquila and Location

Casa Tranquila is a traditional Salobrena townhouse and retains many of its original Spanish features. Situated in a quiet pedestrian side street the house has 3 bedrooms and two terraces (one covered and one open) with uninterrupted views to the Sierra Nevadas, sea and across the town.

The house is set towards the top of the historic old town with its narrow cobbled streets and winding alleyways. A short stroll takes you to the Arab fort and original town square, museum and the church of Our Lady of the Rosary, built on the ruins of the mosque.

The top roof terrace, with sunloungers, has views across to the sea, Sierra Nevadas and over the town of Salobrena. The lower covered terrace has nightlights, a gas BBQ, table and chairs with which to relax on the terrace whether by daytime or at night. It is an unforgettable experience and an integral part of your stay at Casa Tranquila.

The house sleeps 6 and the accommodation includes large stylish Spanish entrance hall, two double bedrooms, one twin bedroom, bathroom (shower only), sitting room and kitchen. The sitting room has satellite TV reception and a video player.

Although a car is recommended to get the most out of your holiday it is not essential. Buses run from Malaga, Granada, and Almeria to the bus station in Salobrena and a local bus service will take you up into the old town and down to the beach. It is possible to find street parking a short walk from the house for those with a car.

Salobrena is really two towns, the historic “casco antiguo” of traditional white houses and narrow streets winding up to the castle, and the new town of wider streets and shady boulevards below with all the bustle in summer of a lively Spanish holiday resort. It is a sizeable town and local centre with a life of its own independent of tourism so plenty of restaurants and bars stay open even out of season.

There are a wide choice of restaurants in both the old and new areas of the town and along the busy seafront with its sandy beaches - a short walk or even shorter bus ride away. The Alpujarras national park and the Alhambra Palace in Granada are both less than an hour away. Salobrena has excellent beaches and restaurants.

The beaches are a short, steep walk downhill, a short drive or simply take the bus which comes on the hour every hour from the top of the road and does a circular route. The beaches are clean and boast a variety of activities from fishing by the famous El Penon restaurant where you can dine with views overlooking the sea in both directions or you may wish simply to sunbathe or do scuba diving/jet skiing further up the 2 km stretch of beaches bordering the Paseo Maritimo.

The views from the top sunbathing terrace are to the town and sea. A short walk further up the hill will reward you with further amazing views across the verdant plain below and graphically illustrate its strategic position.
