It is less than 80km in length. Its backs on to the Sierra Nevada Mountains, some of which drop into the sea. The ski resort is so close to the coast at 3000m above sea level, you can ski in morning and be on beach sunbathing in the afternoon. It has retained its Spanish roots and Tapas are given free with your drink in most of the local bars. The coast is made up of cliffs, coves, 26 broad beaches and friendly fishing villages.
