The Secrets Of Almeria
A holiday spent in Spain can both be a blessing and a nightmare. Why is that? Well, the peak season in Spain really means overcrowded beaches and packed restaurants. However, if you know how to choose your destination, your holiday is really going to be perfect. This is why Almeria exists. This amazing Spanish region managed to keep its secrets for years but those who are in love with discovering new places, started to explore it and what they’ve found is really rewarding.
Almeria is a land of undiscovered beaches, unspoilt landscapes, national parks which wait to be discovered and even a desert which offers you the possibility to relax and enjoy the beauty of these diverse surroundings.
A world of fascination
When you set foot on the land of Almeria, you also set foot on one of the biggest movie sets. I know, what you just read is probably very confusing, but you are about to find out that Almeria is a place where many directors chose to shoot their movies. The famous “Lawrence of Arabia” was filmed in the wide open spaces of Almeria’s desert, while thousands of other movies used the setting of the beautiful beach at Cabo de Gata. The question that now rises is why was Almeria not too popular among investors? Why didn’t the tourism industry develop in such a beautiful place for so long? The answer is very simple: the investors didn’t bother to deal with problems like building electricity lines and airports. This is the reason why Almeria was such a remote, but such a beautiful place to visit; it is a region that has remained pure and clean throughout the centuries and the place that still keeps the essence of Spain alive.
The land of extremes
When you travel to Almeria, it is impossible not to visit the Tabernas Desert. The Desert is part of the National Park that tries to keep it protected, but considering how harsh it is, it needs no protection. Don’t try to venture too far; visiting the Hollywood sets is more than enough. This is the place where you can understand how life in the Wild West used to be, as a very accurate replica of a Western Town has been built in this place where rain falls only four days every year. In the opposite direction the beaches patiently wait for you, as does the crystal clear water of the sea. Enjoy the beauty of Almeria!
