The Castillo de Salobreña stands majestically on the rock overlooking the white town and the Mediterranean. A Nasrid fortress, residence of sultans and watchtower of the Costa Tropical, it offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views of Granada, where the blue of the sea meets the peaks of Sierra Nevada.
