Where is Salobreña?
To book international flights nearest to the resort you should look at Almeria on the Costa Almeria or Malaga International Airport on the Costa del Sol. Granada Airport is closest but has very limited flights on offer. Neighbouring Motril is the gateway to Melilla which is a Spanish enclave in Morocco in North-Africa, great for an extraordinary experience while on vacation in Salobreña.
Salobreña is located between the tourist resorts of Motril and Almunecar, while Nerja on the eastern Costa del Sol is about twenty minutes away by car. Granada which is rich in history is a tourist hot spot and is also worth a visit.
