The Costa de Almeria region

Costa Almeria has the benefit of the lowest rainfall and the highest sunshine records for the whole of Spain. Together with the superb beaches, there are the attractions of the wild Natural Park of Cabo De Gata, the historic town of Granada is a few hours drive, and there is even skiing at Pradollano in the Sierra Nevada mountains, less than 2 hours away.

The Vera Playa / Al Andalus Hills area

A variety of attractions lie within a short distance. Visit the original set used for filming A Fistful of Dollars in the 1960’s at Mini-Hollywood, go horse-riding or trekking, scuba diving or water skiing, or spend the day splashing around at Vera Playa AquaPark.

Slightly further afield the typically Spanish town of Vera (6km) is an extremely popular market town, which has both history and shopping in abundance. To the south, Garrucha is a bustling fishing port with a host of shops and restaurants, whilst a little further along the coast Mojacar offers a more traditionally British concept of a Spanish resort. Inland, the picturesque Moorish hill village of Mojacar Pueblo is well worth a visit. All the local towns have fiestas and market days.

“A small but perfectly formed apartment at a good price.” A good apartment on a nice development. Apartment overlooks the pool, and is walking distance to beach. Complex very quiet when we visited (late Sept). Walking distance to good bar and restaurant, and 5 mins drive to reasonably new Mercadona which makes catering easy. The apartment is not cramped, but outside space is limited. However the air conditioning to both bedrooms and lounge would be very useful in the summer.

Guestbook for Vera Playa - Al Andalus Hills

"We had such a lovely time at your apartment in Vera this summer. The apartment could not have been better in any way with it's two bathrooms,entertainment for all three children, and the pool right outside. It really felt like a home away from home. We also liked the placement, because we could go on road trips in every direction and
still see something new every day. The apartment was really clean, and had everything necessary available.
The caretakers of you apartment, Anita and Dave, were extremely helpful and friendly to us, which also contributed to making our stay so nice.
We strongly will recommend your apartment to all of our Danish friends and family, as well as anyone who might stumble across your ad on the internet like we did.
Thank you again, Helle and family"

"Had a really nice holiday, apartment very well equipped. Waterpark excellent (47 Euros for family for the day) Loved the beaches north towards Villaricos." - Dave, Karen & family

"Thanks for your kind hospitality. We found the apartment very welcoming, comfortable and exceptionally well equipped particularly since I do the washing up in our house! Locally we explored Mojacar, Garrucha, San Juan and Aguilas. Fortunately we had great weather, certainly in the 80s which was a real plus for the end of October." - Clive & Helen

"We enjoyed our stay at your fully furnished and equipped apartment. The apartment is lovely and the surrounding area is beautiful. We will recommend it to our friends and relatives" - Mr & Mrs L

"Dear Peter and Mandy, Thankyou for a lovely time in Spain. The apartment was lovely and hopefully we will return soon" - Sue & Mike (...and they did!)

"We just came back from Spain on Tuesday, and we were very comfortable in your apartment. Our day in Hollywood was the highlight. We loved it, especially the Zoo. The animals were amazing. We had a good laugh when Anita told us about the naturist community, and an even better one when we saw for ourselves. We could hardly believe our eyes, but we had to eat, so needs must.
I got my deposit back into our bank account, so thank you for being so prompt. Once again thanks for everything. Your neighbours are very nice too." - Mary & family
