Costa
Almería
The Costa Almeria is as varied as any of the Spanish Coasts. The coast
is completely unspoilt. To the east of Almeria we find the rugged and
desolate coast of the Cabo de Gata - 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 and back-packers. The most popular coastal village
is San José.
West of Almeria is
the highly developed tourist resorts of Roquetas de Mar and Aguadulce.
These have all the facilities of any modern resort to support the
package holiday market.
At the north of the Costa de Almeria is 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.
 Almeria
city is worth a visit with the Alcazaba castle overlooking the
metropolis.
To the west we find the
developing complex of Almerimar with Marinas, golf, hotels and many
other facilities.
The old fishing port town of Adra lies further west. In spite of the
interesting castle and assorted archeological remains, it is often
missed by tourists travelling along the coastal motorway to or from
the Costa Tropical.
