If your trip to La Garrofa is all booked but your travel itinerary is a bit on the empty side, let us give you a helping hand.Not far from the city center, Alcazaba is one sight you might like to consider adding to your to-do list. Saharan Fauna Rescue Park and Andalusian Center of Photography are also a stone’s throw away and worth a pit stop.

It’s time to get those wheels spinning and head out to Sombrerico Beach. Just 40 miles away, a road trip here is a no-brainer. Stop by El Mirador del Castillo and Playa Venta del Bancal to start learning the story of the region. Then top off your trip by visiting Fuente Publica de Mojacar.

Nothing screams vacation like hopping in the car and heading to the seaside. La Garrofa has some fantastic beaches nearby, so grab something to read (and a kite if it’s windy) and take a day trip to one of these popular options:

• Playa de San Miguel (4 miles away).
• Playa de la Térmica (4 miles away).
• Playa del Charco (14 miles away).

If you’re primarily here for work-related purposes, you’ll probably be heading to Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos Cabo de Gata. It’s situated 11 miles away.

Sure, you can explore La Garrofa without wheels. But with so much to see, having one is sure to make your trip more memorable. If you’re eager to head out into nature, opt for a vehicle with a bit of extra power. A full-size car or an SUV could be just the ticket. A smaller car, like a mini or a compact, is a popular choice for those embarking on shorter trips.

Sometimes the journey is more significant than the destination, which makes your car choice important. If you’re about to embark on an amazing road trip around La Garrofa, a roomy SUV could be the best solution. If you want the best possible deal and plan to stick to city driving, a versatile compact is a wise pick. All you have to do is choose what’ll suit you best, load up the car, and clock up those miles.

Generally, your chosen car rental company will bill the amount listed on the fine to your credit card, including local surcharges and taxes. Otherwise, they may share your information with the relevant local authority, who’ll then issue a fine directly to you.
