We met this beach by chance and it is a paradise, its landscapes, sunset and its clean water. In the restaurant you eat very well, especially black rice.

Water Park. Open from the second half of June to the first half of September. Enjoy with your family a spectacular day full of joy and fun
Reviewed By howardw479 - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
This is an excellent water park with around 8 different slides as well as a pool area with waves, an area for smaller kids and a number of bars, cafes and eating places all on one complex. The place is spotlessly clean and doesn’t take the mickey when it comes to extras - sun loungers are 3 euros each for the day (and most come with a built in parasol), the dinghies you go down 3 of the slides on are a maximum 8 euros for the whole day (you also deposit 5 euros which you get back when you return the dinghy) and even the car parking works out at 3 euros for the whole day. Importantly it’s very safety orientated with lots of lifeguards at every slide monitoring when it’s safe for people to go. And, of course, the slides are great. One last tip - if you go once on your holiday and think you’d like to come back, buy tickets before you leave the park. They’re valid for up to 10 days from the date of issue, they’re 50% cheaper than the normal price and you don’t have to queue to get in when you go back.

It is perfect for the early morning sunrise, the late sunset or anything in between. The views are why you hike up to the top and you can even find some locks of love. These are the iconic rocks that jet out to the sea, but you have nice views of the castle, town, beaches, sea and mountains too. Great photo spot. Each time we have visitors, this is a must do location.

I love this green oasis in the city. There are sometimes fairs and events held here too and there are sculptures for art lovers. Definitely worth a leisurely stroll on a hot day.

Reviewed By LaJarrie - Southampton, United Kingdom
Followed a previous reviewer’s helpful advice about how to find the other aqueducts in Almuñecar and spent a pleasurable time scrambling round trying to find them. The first is easy to find, and well worth the clamber up the terraces to see it from various levels. (Park in the road before the gates, outside the flats, as you cannot go down the hill by vehicle) The next one can be found by going past the deserted house, by the play area, and then up the tracks, but even so it is not easy to find without Google Maps. The third is currently almost invisible, even from the Rio Seco, and will remain so, until they prune the cherimoya trees! We then took the car and rejoined the main road towards Jete, until we came across the final longer and lower section. The first and highest is particularly impressive, but so is the long one in the village centre, particularly when one considers their age. Sadly, the first 3 are not be easily accessed by anyone with mobility difficulties....don’t fancy pushing a wheelchair up/down the slope of the first one in the Park, the other two would be impossible, however the final one is easily accessed from the village centre.
