La Caleta is easily accessible by main highway. La Caleta is very close to the town of Salobreña and is part of the municipality of Salobreña.   Getting There La Caleta is near Malaga, Granada, and Almeria, and is readily accessible from the heart of the Costa Tropical, Almuñécar: From Granada, take the major N-323 highway to the coast. Once at the Costa Tropical town of Salobreña, take a right on the principal Costa Tropical highway N-340 heading west. In about 5 minutes after driving up a hill, there will be exit signs for La Caleta. From Malaga, take the N-340 highway going east towards Almuñécar, Motril, and Almeria.
