Almuñecar information
Almuñécar
Almuñécar is a tourist town par excellence. It was founded in the 8th century b.c. and called Sexi by Phoenicians. The Phoenician Necropolis of Puente de Noy tells of its history, as well as the Punic-Roman factory of salted fish and Roman constructions such as the aqueduct and the pigeon-holes. The Cueva de los Siete Palacios currently houses the Archaeological Museum and feature ancient galleries. The Islamic castle was rebuilt by Charles V.
La Herradura is located on the border with the province of Málaga. It has a large bay which is perfect for nautical sports such as diving, given the natural richness of its sea bed. It is always sheltered from the wind and therefore the sea is always calm. It stretches from the Punta de la Mona to the Peñón de Cerro Gordo.
