Grandesvillas- Villa Venezia

Apart from how precious the population in general can be, there are corners that are worth stopping to contemplate and above all to inquire about the events that occurred there, since Salobreña is a rich historical town, an example of this is the Castle that crowns the natural promontory that is in the center of the town.

This fortress of Muslim origin was not originally created for war purposes, although taking into account the defense of personalities from the Nasrid kingdom of Granada, since it was treated as if we were the summer palace of that dynasty, later in times of less peace would become the royal prison, becoming part of one of the most curious stories of those reigns in which a prisoner became king. As it is a walled enclosure, it has several points where its different walled sides join together in the different towers from which we will have spectacular panoramic views of the nearby and not so close environment, since you get to see quite well Sierra Nevada.

In a memory of more recent history, we can visit the neighborhood of La Caleta, an old group of fishing guild houses that climb a hillside, staggering, offering the visitor a multitude of balconies and viewpoints from which we will have a totally different perspective of the so close Mediterranean Sea. If we start the descent towards the coast we will find the old Azucarera de Guadalfeo factory, now inactive, but which has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and which is still surrounded by the cane fields from which it was nourished.
