La Mamola Beach is a quiet beach with fine, dark sand and calm water suitable for swimming with the family. At the eight breakwaters of La Mamola Beach, recreational anglers use the sheltered areas. The beach has an anchorage area for yachts and motorboats. Several restaurants and chiringuitos along the beach promenade offer local cuisine. For your planning, you can consider these beach features side by side: quiet sandy beach, fishing at the breakwaters, boats and local cuisine.
When choosing a holiday apartment in La Mamola, you can use your preferred daily routine as a personal criterion alongside your travel dates: beach, coastal path, hiking route, as well as culture and cycling, represent different priorities that can be weighted separately. For a holiday apartment in La Mamola, travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions can be considered as separate details. These accommodation-related questions stand alongside the different themes of the town: beach, coastal path, hiking, culture and cycling.
Coast
La Mamola Beach can be reached by car or intercity bus via the N-340. Running parallel to the N-340 is the coastal path Camino de ribera entre Castillo de Baños y La Mamola between Castillo de Baños Beach and La Mamola Beach. The 2.5-metre-wide footpath has a granular surface and runs along the outer side next to the coastal protection embankment. Along 670 metres of its length, the path has a treated wooden safety railing on the outer edge. Width, surface and railing describe the footpath from different perspectives; for your planning, they can be considered separately.
Hiking
The 6.6-kilometre hiking trail SL-A 326 La Atalaya de Cautor is connected with Polopos-La Mamola. It follows former routes used by troops and muleteers between the Trigo and Cautor ravines and the beaches of La Mamola. It is designated as a route of ecological and cultural-historical interest and is suitable for families. From the heights of Cautor, the hiking trail offers views across the sea to the horizon of the Alboran Sea. The different trail length and landscape areas help you consider the walk by the sea and the hike as different activity and landscape themes.
Culture
The Torre del Cantor, also known as Torre del Túnel de la Manola and Torre del Cautor, is listed in Polopos as a B.I.C. monument. In addition, you can visit the local pages for Mecina Fondales and Ferreirola.
Activities
The XXVI Gran Premio Comarca de Polopos-La Mamola is an annual road cycling race organised by the Ayuntamiento de La Mamola and extending as far as Haza del Lino.
