Miles of untouched beaches on the southern Spanish coast
The warm sun-kissed province of Costa Almeria has over two hundred miles (320km) of panoramic coastline, its many untouched fishing villages offering a paradise of unspoilt beaches and natural coves, ideal for sun worshippers and nature lovers alike. Almeria's natural beauty and maritime location in the Mediterranean at the south east of the Iberian Peninsula, means that over the centuries it has experienced a variety of ancient cultures, with Phoenician, Roman, Tartessos and Visigoth relics all still evident.
The cultural expansion of the region also includes African influences. Further inland is the opportunity to explore Europe's only desert area, which is located on the outskirts of the Tabernas village and boasts a starring role in many western films.
The Cabo de Gato-Nijar nature reserve situated to the east of the province is a lunar landscape, the rugged coastlines making it a paradise for scuba diving, bird watching and hiking. Although the province hosts a dry and dusty landscape, the agricultural industry thrives with greenhouse tunnel farms providing a large amount of rural produce and an abundance of flowers.
Quaint squares, pavement cafes and an enchanting marina reside in the capital city of Almeria, and tourists flock to resorts dotted on each side of the city to the east and west coastal regions of the province. Panoramic sandy beaches with the warm waters of the Mediterranean lapping at the shores ensure that an ideal beach holiday and cultural activities, natural exploration and historical city breaks are all part of the Costa Almeria holiday experience.
