Almunecar

The town of Almunecar is located in the Spanish region of Andalucia on the Costa Tropical.

This is the tourist capital of the Costa which takes its name from the sub-tropical microclimate which exists here. Since the death of Francisco Franco in 1975, the town of Almunecar has become one of the most important tourist towns in Granada and this section of coast is now called the Costa Tropical. Almunecar has good transport connections and a football (soccer) stadium.

It is an important setting in Laurie Lee's account of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, in As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning, referred to as "Castillo" to disguise people's identities.

Almunecar's coat of arms, which shows the turbaned heads of three Berber pirates floating in the sea, was granted to the town by King Carlos I in 1526 for having destroyed a Berber raiding force.
