Holiday apartment for rent in La Herradura

A modern, spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment situated in La Herradura with stunning panoramic views over the village, sea and mountains. This property has been equipped to a very high standard including new, contemporary appliances in the open plan kitchen and modern bathroom fittings. Large french windows from both the lounge and main bedroom open onto the terrace equipped with casual and dining seating so that at all times of the day you can relax and enjoy its superb views.

The large communal roof terrace/solarium has similar unobstructed views of the Mediterranean, the rugged cliffs of Cerro Gordo Natural Park and the mountains, complete with swimming pool and sunbathing area. The apartment is situated just above the main hub of the village making it a quiet and peaceful location although within easy reach of all that La Herradura has to offer including a superb beach.

La Herradura is one of the few remaining unspoilt villages on the southern cost of Spain and offers a truly Spanish experience. A small friendly Andalucian seaside village, with narrow streets, tapas bars and a wide range of reasonably priced restaurants and beach front chiringitos specializing in locally caught fish. The daily indoor market sells fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and fish and the village bakery has a delicious selection of fresh bread and pastries. There are also grocery shops, chemist, dentist, health centre, internet cafe, bank and hair-dresser in the village. Larger supermarkets can be found in nearby Nerja and Almuñecar.

The extensive beaches with clear blue waters have been repeatedly awarded the exclusive eco-label Blue Flag, which confirms the high quality and cleanness of the Costa Tropical shoreline.

Nerja, its famous caves and the Balcon de Europa, Frigiliana, Velez Malaga and Almuñecar with their popular Water Parks and of course the busy town of Malaga with the famous Picasso museum are great places to visit whilst staying in the area.

Alternatively just 50 minutes of breath taking scenery will take you up through the mountains and famous Alpujarra regions to Granada and the Alhambra Palace () , and in the winter months a further 30 minutes drive will take you up to the famous ski resort of the Sierra Nevada (Nov-April). For keen golfers Motril has a superb 18 hole golf course running along the Mediterranean, and many more golf clubs can be found along the coast towards Malaga.

This is an excellent location to relax, enjoy the fabulous scenery, the excellent restaurants and bars and revel in the old Spain, often described as one of the Costa del Sol´s best kept secrets, and as such is largely untouched by the mass tourism of other areas of the Costa del Sol further west.

The winter months give you the rare opportunity of skiing up in the mountains in the mornings and returning to the coast to relax on the beach in the afternoons.
