Mission AdventureGranada


EKOMOTRIL wants to motivate your visit to our region, Motril & Gualchos Castell de Ferro, are located on the coast of Granada, south of Spain. We are granted with Sub-Tropical climate through the year. But most exciting, we are surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea and two mountain ranges, "Contraviesa" and south face of "Sierra Nevada" were the Alpujarras are located. We also find the Spanish highest pick Mulhacen" (3.500 mts).



From Castell de Ferro we suggest the opportunity to practice adventure sports all year round; Exiciting Mountain-Bike rides with breathtaking views; sea kayaking through our cristal clear rocky beaches; hiking and trailing; cross country snowshoe, crampons or skying; snorkle or scuba dive on the cliffy seasides; fishing or just relaxing on our clearwater coves enjoying fresh fish dinners.
