Planning the resort, accommodation and mobility equipment together creates a more independent holiday.

La Herradura is arranged around a curved bay west of Almuñécar, with beach restaurants, diving activity and accommodation rising into the surrounding slopes.

Why the exact location matters

The seafront road is the easiest circuit; approaches to hillside properties can become steep very quickly.

What is there to see and do?

The beachfront and marina excursions are the main focus. Headland viewpoints and coves require planned transport.

Check current entrances, accessible toilets, companion arrangements and seasonal opening directly with each attraction or beach service.

Terrain and getting around

The seafront road is the easiest circuit; approaches to hillside properties can become steep very quickly.

Trace important journeys in both directions. Heat, wind, crowds, gradients and battery condition reduce comfortable range.

Where to stay

Choose near-level beachfront accommodation if independent restaurant access matters. Verify every apartment entrance and garage-to-lift route.

Request a continuous video from the vehicle stopping point through the entrance, lift, bedroom and bathroom, together with measurements of every critical doorway.

Airport transfers and local transport

Nearest airport: Málaga or Granada Airport. Transfers are by road from Málaga or Granada. Give the driver the map pin and confirm a suitable stopping point.

State whether the passenger remains in their wheelchair and provide occupied dimensions, total weight, luggage and companion numbers.

Mobility equipment hire in La Herradura

Local delivery may come from Almuñécar or the Costa del Sol. Record charges and response times.

Confirm the exact model, delivered price, deposit, cancellation terms, charging, collection and breakdown replacement in writing.

Mobility Abroad practical tip

A small bay can still involve long or steep returns when the property sits above the coast.

Before booking

  • Pin the exact accommodation and usable entrance.
  • Match the equipment to the user and named routes.
  • Reserve suitable transfers and local transport.
  • Reconfirm delivery and essential facilities shortly before travel.
