Our home, CasaPlaya, is a beachfront home. 3/4 detached on the ground floor with a spacious terrace. Parking usually directly nearby.
La Rábita owes its name to the Moorish fortress on site. Above it is a watchtower, typical of this part of the Andalusian coast. This part of the coast is called the Costa Tropical: the name speaks for itself.
The village is originally a simple fishing village. It has modest tourist pretensions. In the months of July and August it is significantly busy with mainly Spanish tourists. Services: mini-market, bank, bakeries, restaurants, terraces, open all year round. Larger supermarkets are in nearby Albuñol and Adra.
The simplicity of La Rábita comes across as sympathetic and is very soothing. The immediate hinterland is sparsely populated and very rural.
La Rábita is located just off the A-7 motorway, so you can reach all kinds of destinations quickly. Think of cities such as Almería, Motril and Granada, small beaches, golf courses (Almería, Roquetas, Almérimar, Motril), ski slopes (Granada) and nature parks (Sierra Nevada, Cabo de Gata).
