Almuñecar information
Almuñécar
Almuñécar
is the 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 galeries. The Islamic castle was rebuilt
by Charles V.
La Herradura is located on the border with the province
of Málaga. It is a large bay which is perfect for nautical
soprts such as diving, given the natural richness of its sea
bottom. 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.
