Holidays in Costa De Almeria

An introduction to Costa De Almeria

The Costa de Almeria is tucked into Spain’s south east corner, between the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. This place missed out on the 1960s holiday boom that hit the other Costas, because of its poor road connections. As a result, it’s far less touristy than its high-rise neighbours. You’ll find quiet resorts, traditional whitewashed villages and beaches untouched by the holidaymaking masses.

The main resort here is Roquetas De Mar. It’s a seaside town with a wide belt of golden sand running alongside it. It used to be a sleepy fishing village, although these days there’s a lot more going on. You’ll find everything from swish shopping malls to seafront restaurants and British-style pubs.

When it comes to days out, the Costa de Almeria has no end of attractions. Just up the coast from Roquetas De Mar is the port city of Almeria, where you’ll find tree-lined boulevards and chic boutiques, all watched over by an Arab fortress. Wildlife fans should head for one of the area’s natural parks – Cabo de Gata is one of the best. Granada, home to the impressive Alhambra Palace, is just a couple of hours away, too.
