Costa Tropical
Mountains come right down to the water: ninety minutes from the beach to the Sierra Nevada ski slopes. Little flat land, hence little development.

Articles that include this coast
- Andalusia's beaches by water quality: five provinces, the Bay of Algeciras and the sea from the Strait to MojácarGrades from the European register for every sampling point on Andalusia's coast since 1990: where the water was not excellent in 2025, Huelva's bad first year, the bay against the ocean in Cádiz, eight clean seasons in Málaga and Almería, and the sea on five coasts.
- Which sea is Spain on? The Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay — and how warm each getsThe limits of each sea from the International Hydrographic Organization, the sea of every coast worked out from our places' coordinates, and the water temperature month by month, from the Canaries to the Costa Brava.
- Renting long-term on the Spanish coast: what the law says and what tenants payThe five-year renewal and the seasonal lease, article by article. And what tenants on each coast pay under live leases: from tax records, not listings.
- Which Spanish coast is best? 26 coasts on the same numbersJanuary, warm sea, beach water, price per square metre, damp, neighbours and the airport run: all 26 coasts on the same fields. Every question has a different winner.
- Spain's minimum wage and average salary in 2026, with sources — and what rent takes on the coastThe 2026 minimum wage from the decree, and the mean and median from INE — every figure linked to its primary source. Then how much of the wage lease rents take, coast by coast.
- Where property is cheapest on the Spanish coast, on a single price basisThe housing ministry's appraised value, ranked by coast and by town, with the price of a 70 m² flat and local incomes alongside. Asking prices get a list of their own: the two bases never share a ranking.
Median rather than mean: a single expensive spot skews the average for the whole coast. Airports: AGP, GRX.
