Salobrena wins award as an Historical Centre
Salobrena has just won an award, the Seal of Quality for Smaller Historical Centres. Two years ago the European Union started up the Network of Historical Centres and Salobreña has now fulfilled the required criteria. The Mayor, Jesus Avenlino Menéndez, says that this is not just about the castle, although this forms a large part of the historical value to Salobreña, but also the diverse establishments, monuments and local gastronomy to be found in and around the town. The Mayor hopes that this Seal of Quality will help promote Salobreña throughout the rest of Europe as a touristic destination and at future travel fairs at which they participate.

Long over due in my opinion. This is probably one of the nicest towns on the Spanish coast. The people are friendly, the town is well maintained, and the services are excellent. After 8 years here, I don’t think I could live anywhere else.
