Costa
Almeria Spain
Most of the European western movies are shot in Costa Almeria because
of it fantastic unspoiled nature. The Costa Almeria is as varied as
any of the Spanish Coasts. The coast is completely unspoilt and may
seem like the wild west.
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 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 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 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.
