Road Trip to La Herradura, Andalucia, Spain - VLOG055 [4K]
Join me on a short road trip from Rincón de la Victoria to La Herradura and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
La Herradura - Perfect for a beach holiday
The stunning bay of La Herradura, together with its neighbouring town of Almuñecar, forms the tourist capital of Costa Tropical.
However, it is still a relatively unknown stretch along Spain’s southern coastline, which belongs to
the Granada province in Andalusia; lying between the more populous Costa del Sol to the west, and the Costa Almeria to the east.
The area forms one of the most attractive bays along the southern coast of Spain, with its two large natural promontories, the Punta de la Mona and Cerro Gordo, which protect a two kilometre long sandy beach.

Tandem Paragliding in La Herradura, Spain
Tandem Paragliding in La Herradura, Spain! This time it was Lars who took the leap and soared high above La Herradura and the Mediterranean Sea.
A few months ago, both kids were scheduled to take flight. After Anya took her turn the winds died down and Lars didn't get to fly. Dirk from Hotel California was wonderful to keep in touch with us, to ensure Lars had the opportunity to fly. Finally after a few months our schedules allowed for the experience to happen. Check it out! Would you do this?
He was very excited to get the opportunity to enjoy 2 flights in one day. It is great having such wonderful experiences locally.
