Motril, where I was born and I´m living now, is a
small city or a big town in Granada´s coastline.
What I like most about Motril is the situation. Not
only it is by the sea, but it is by the mountains too. What is more, big cities
like Málaga, Granada and Almería are an hour and a half away by car, more or
less.
Another key strength is its climate. In Motril summer
used to be hot but not burning, and winter is cool but not chilly. In addition,
the weather is rainy only a few days each year.
If it is food you are into, you can’t do better than
visit Motril. Here locals cultivate custard apple, mango and avocado. Also it
is a traditional product the sugar from the reed.
Needless to say, there is an amazing fish in Motril.
Most people know the shrimp from this coastal place.
On the other hand, the city centre, where I only miss
a few brands, is full of shops and there is an important sea port in the beach.
Motril also has a lot of churches and a big and famous park, called “towns from
America”. The church I like most is which is called “The Cerro” and where is
the patron saint.
To conclude, Motril is a peaceful place for living, due to the fact that it isn´t a too big place, with a
wonderful climate and a splendid gastronomy. The main reason why I like it is
that Motril has the advantages of a city and a town.
