The Costa de Almeria region

The Costa de Almeria is a region of unique beauty and has until recently been southern Spain´s undiscovered gem. The long golden sands of Mojacar Playa is just one of the reasons this area has become a top destination for Spanish and British holidaymakers. The landmark hilltop village of Mojacar Pueblo, with its distinctive houses, labyrinth of narrow streets and Bohemian character is another major attraction. A vibrant mix of residential and holiday complexes, golf courses and unchanged towns and villages stretch out along the coastline; the port of Garrucha, with its renowned seafood restaurants, and the impressive harbour of Almerimar, are all must-sees.

Mojacar / Los Gallardos area

Los Gallardos is small town found between the mountain ranges of Bédar, Los Filabres and Cabrera and the Aguas River. The town developed around the mines of east Bédar at the end of the 19th Century. It is perfectly situated being just 30 minutes from Almeria Airport and a just few minutes from the motorway, giving easy access to the rest of Spain. Yet it is only 10 minutes drive to the coast for the beaches and golf courses.

It is an ideal place for horse riding or for the more energetic there is rock-climbing in the canyons. The town is also an excellent base for hiking with the Río de Aguas canyon and the Río Jauto canyon close by. There are walks around the old industrial sites in the Sierra de Bédar, though beware of the open wells used by the old mines. Or take a walk down the Río de Aguas canyon to experience the beauty of this fertile piece of land with its numerous water springs and visit the remains of two 16th century flour mills, the Higuera and La Cueva mills. There is also an archaeological site in Cadima that has the remains of an Ibero-Romano town.

The long uncrowded sandy beaches are o­ne of its main attractions and among the best in Almeria. The beaches are 14km long, with a large part being designated an area of natural beauty. Only 7 km have been developed and they consistently earn European Blue Flag awards for cleanliness.

The beach resort has been developed over the past two decades; it is now a lively resort with much to offer with beach bars, local and international restaurants, discos, hotels and shops. The resort enforces a building restriction to prevent it becoming a high rise concrete development; residential buildings are restricted to two storeys and hotels can't be built higher than four floors. Giving you a feeling of space that cannot be found anywhere else along the eastern Spanish coastline.

At Desert Springs 'The Indiana' is an 18 hole, par 72 course of 6,173 meters designed by Peter McEvoy, the successful Walker Cup captain. Situated about 15/20 minutes from Mojacar it is the first desert course to be built in Europe rivalling any of the now famous desert courses in Arizona or in California. With lush fairways, water features and rugged desert terrain Desert Springs is destined to become o­ne of the finest golf resorts in the world. Here golfers are compelled to keep the ball o­n the fairways but can take relief from staked cacti. It is highly recommended.

As well as year round activities such as golf, diving and horse riding, during the summer months there are a wide range of organized activities, live music, flamenco, quiz nights, volley ball competitions and village fiestas. As in most Mediterranean countries, children are welcome just about everywhere. For younger children, there are many playgrounds dotted along the beach as well as organized activity groups supervised by professional nannies. For older children the Pueblo Indalo Complex is popular for its table games, discos and evening shows, all ages will enjoy Mojacar mini golf, Garrucha go - cart track, The Sorbas caves, and Vera Aqua Park and Tabernas theme parks.

For those looking for an active holiday there is much to do. There is a full range of water sports including jet ski-ing, canoeing, water ski-ing, sailing, big game fishing, windsurfing, kite surfing and scuba diving. If you have a head for heights why not take a flight in a micro light over the beach at the Indalo Wings Micro light Centre or try your hand at paragliding.

Also in the winter months there is skiing and snowboarding available in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, situated just 2 hours drive from the beach.

For those interested in wildlife and in that we mean flora and fauna, not a heavy night hitting the bars – you’ll find a lot to enjoy without going very far, in fact, the region includes some of the most unique and varied wild life habitats in the whole of western Europe. The Cabo de Gata Natural Park and The Sierra Alhamilla Mountains are interesting and rewarding areas for the wild life enthusiast; over half of the 8000 species of plants native to Spain are common in Andalucia, including 150 species which are unique to the region. Many of the plants that are indigenous to Andalucia grow only in the arid areas of Andalucia.
