Almuñécar has a wide range selection of tourist accommodation of all kinds: from luxurious hotels and apartments to pensions and campsites.

In August, especially during the Patron Saint Festivals (fiestas patronales), it's very difficult to find accommodation if it has not been booked well in advance.
Its beaches, the charm of its streets in the Old Quarter, the Castle of San Miguel, the lively nightlife in its bars and pubs, the summer concerts in the Parque del Majuelo and its elegant marina, all make Almuñécar an ideal place to spend a vacation by the sea.

History of Almuñécar
Almuñécar's Phoenician name 'Sks' was translated by the Romans as Sexi Firmun Julium, and that is why the inhabitants of Almuñécar are known as Sexitanos.This gives us an idea of the antiquity of this millennial town that has seen the integration of many cultures, sheltered by the mountains of Granada and bathed by the Mediterranean Sea.

However, the name by which we know it today has an Arabic origin, since these people were its inhabitants for almost 800 years.
'Al-Munekab' or 'Hisn al-Monácar' refers to a fortress on the hill surrounded by mountains. This land can boast Phoenician, Roman and Arab remains in its monumental heritage.

The town's Arab roots can be seen in the watchtowers that are found on some of its beaches, the reservoirs, and the layout of its streets.
All this has defined Almuñécar's own identity, making it quite unique and very special.
