Almeria
The Costa de Almeria is mainly unspoilt. To
the east of Almeria we find the rugged and desolate coast
of the Cabo del Gato-Nijar natural park. This is an arid desert
landscape and the annual rainfall here is less than 200mm.
It is sparsely populated, few villages and a very low population
density. Visitors feel a sense of exploration here as many
of the coves can only be reached on foot. This area is particularly
popular with nature lovers. The most popular coastal village
is San José
West of Almeria is the highly developed tourist
resorts of Roquetas de Mar and Aqua Dulce. These have all
the facilities of any modern resort to support the package
holiday market.
At the north of the Costa de Almeria are the
naturist beaches of Vera; a number of new complexes are being
constructed here. A little further south is Mojacar, which
successfully combines the popular beach holiday with the hillside
white village that tourist love to explore.
Around the area of Mojacar and Vera there are
5 golf courses under construction, one that is partially playable,
two in an advanced state of construction with the others due
to start in the near future. Road access is excellent in this
area, and to get to the International Airport of Almeria takes
approximately 45 minutes.
Restaurants and the opportunity to shop are
well catered for. The real estates of the region are still
among the most favourable priced. It is only a question of
time before the Costa Almeria is awakened from its sleep.
Almeria city is worth a visit with the Alcazaba
castle overlooking the metropolis.
