Exploring Almuñécar’s Rich Coastal Heritage

Among the wonders of Almuñécar’s nearly 20 kilometres of coastline lies La Caletilla beach, nestled right in the heart of the town next to the Natural Monument of Los Peñones de San Cristóbal or del Santo and beneath the Castle of San Miguel, which boasts remnants of its Roman, Moorish, and Christian past.
