Going On Holiday On The Almeria Coast
Those people who have already taken a holiday in Spain know that the country is one of the most beautiful in the world. It has so many places to offer, with so many cities and villages to visit, as well as beaches and mountainous national parks, that it is absolutely impossible to get bored. The Almeria Coast is one of the most beautiful and scenic regions in Spain. The 217 kilometers of coastline are hosted by the province of Andalusia, occupying the entire southeast of the province.
The coast is very generous to its tourists: it offers long beaches covered with delicate sand, small, cozy bays, landscapes which seem to be taken from the desert, green fertile land covered in almond and olive groves and overlooked by imposing mountain peaks. How can you not love it?
The attractions of Almeria
The coast is very popular among foreign tourists who visit it in order to enjoy its wonderful climate: the clear sky which offers 3,000 sun hours every year and a temperature that never falls below 18.5 degrees is the main attraction as a holiday can be taken in the area at almost any time of the year. The Almeria Coast is not only attractive to tourists. The film industry discovered and explored its desert like landscapes and many movies were filmed here.
Another important advantage of the region is that it remains almost entirely unspoilt. The beauties of nature have not been replaced by high concrete buildings and hotels; there are only a few villages with not too many inhabitants who keep the traditions alive. These villages deserve your attention because they offer you the opportunity to connect with the customs and traditions of this amazing area. However, the resorts are crowded, full of people who want to enjoy the beach. Adra, Aguadulce and Vera rate amongst the most popular.
Almeria’s beaches
Cabo de Gata is renowned for being one of the most beautiful beaches along the Mediterranean coastline. Surrounded by charming fishing villages, the beach remains unspoilt and you can bathe among beautiful pink flamingos. If you want to spend some relaxing time at a lagoon, Albuferas de Adra is the perfect place for you. This is also an area where you can watch around 140 protected species, a delight for nature lovers. Also a place for those who love nature and all its splendour is Sierra Alhamilla, a protected zone where the wild cats and birds of prey feel at home. Enjoy!
