Between the cliffs of the Costa Tropical lies one of the most beautiful coves in the region: Cala de la Rijana. This intimate cove just off Castell de Ferro, not far from Motril, is a popular spot for those who love snorkeling, kayaking or simply want to get away from the crowds.

The water is crystal clear, the environment raw and natural. There is limited parking along the N-340, then you descend a path toward the sea. No amenities, no beach bars - just you, the sea and the sound of crickets.
