Almuñécar

Almuñécar occupies a headland on the coast of Granada, overlooked by the castle of San Miguel. Its history stretches from the ancient town of Sexi through centuries of Muslim rule. The town surrendered to the Catholic Monarchs in 1489, and records made in the following years describe the division of its property. In 1562 a storm wrecked much of a Spanish galley fleet in nearby La Herradura bay.
