Almeria

With a villa in Almeria or an apartment in Alemria you can combine the sun-drenched beaches of Southern Spain with a relaxed atmosphere that is sometimes missing from the main ‘costas’. The coastline stretches out on either side of the city of Almeria, with long beaches of sand and shingle lapped by the warm waters of the Mediterranean. The hills are sprinkled with picturesque villages such as Sorbas, Uleila del Campo, Lubrin, Bedar and Vera.

The year round clear skies make the area a favourite research centre for Astronomers and on the outskirts of the small town of Gergal, in the Sierra de los Filabres, there is the Hispano-German Astronomical centre, where you’ll find the worlds most powerful telescope.

Away from the beaches, the landscape might look strangely familiar – it has been used regularly as a setting for spaghetti-Westerns. ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ and ‘A Fistful of Dollars’ were both filmed here! It’s worth taking time to explore Spain’s Texas Hollywood and visit some of the film sets that have been built in the dramatic, desert-like scenery. Take your cowboy hat and a camera!

Further around the coast you’ll come across the natural parklands of Cabo de Gata, home to a large colony of flamingos.

White Marble is mined in the area of Macael (sierra de los Filabres) and it’s recognised quality means that it can be exported to many parts of the world!

In Almanzora you can visit caves, where you can see the formations formed by centuries of dripping water! Also, in ‘Los Milares’ there is a large archaeological site dating back to 1800BC that is believed to be Spain’s first metal works, and a crucial stepping-stone between the Stone and Bronze Ages.
