Almuñecar is considered to be one of the oldest towns of the Western world dating back some 3,000 years. According to legend, it was once known as EX, while the Phoenicians named it Sexi. Today the town has become an important tourist centre offering hotels and a good range of services.

There is a popular outdoor market on Friday mornings which you cannot miss as it is on the main N340 road through town - and on the first Saturday of the month there is always a ´boot sale´.

The beach area is nice for strolling or watching the world go by. For those with children, there is a water park (high season only) at one end of the beach where you could spend a full day.

Try to locate the town hall and the church - there is a nice square and lots of little shops.
