Aloe complex (apartment)

Home description

Air conditioned and fully equipped the apartment also offers Sky TV including sports and movie channels. The Aloe complex has three communal pools, one of which is a jacuzzi.
Mojacar Playa and Garrucha are just 7 km away and offer wide white beaches and plenty of restaurants and nightlife. Just inland is the Sierra Nevada which includes 'Mini-hollywood' among its attractions. Granada and Almeria are within easy reach for families hoping to explore the 'real' Spain.
For the golfer the Valle del este course offers a real challenge (discounted green fees available), as does the nearby Desert Springs course. Within an hours drive there are a multitude of other courses including the La Manga complex.

The Costa de Almeria region

Garrucha - This is a thriving port town with a large fishing fleet. In mid-afternoon when the fleet lands its catch the quayside auction is well worth watching. An evening visit to one the many excellent seafood restaurants that line the seafront is a treat too.
 
Mojacar - Mojacar is split between the hilltop village Mojacar Pueblo and the beachfront Mojacar Playa. Mojacar Pueblo is perched on a rocky outcrop and can be seen from a long distance as the houses are painted a brilliant white. The village has narrow, windy streets, but is a joy to walk. The restaurants of Mojacar Peublo tend to be expensive compared to those of the Playa and Garrucha. It is best to enjoy a drink in one of the tapas bars and eat elsewhere. Mojacar Playa is an excellent beachfront. It winds along the coast for over 5 km and has many bars and restaurants. The excellent beach has many ‘beach clubs’ that will allow visitors the opportunity to retreat out of the sun for a snack or drink. At night life is lively and it is well worth exploring what is on offer.
 
Villaricos - Travelling north from Vera brings you to the small port of Villaricos. For those who prefer the quiet coves and beaches of an undeveloped coastline this is the place for you.
 
Turre - This small town is off the tourist track and has a refreshing ‘Spanishness’. As with most towns there are a collection of good value tapas bars.The local ‘Go-cart’ circuit is on the road to Turre and offers very good value compared to UK tracks.
 
Mini Hollywood - At one time they were making more westerns here than in the USA. Mini Hollywood is one of three theme parks dedicated to the film industry in the area. It was the location for films such as Lawrence of Arabia, Dr Zhivago and the Clint Eastwood classics A Fistful of Dollars, A Few Dollars More and The Good the Bad and the Ugly. There are daily shows at noon, 5pm and 8pm. Entry is usually around €16 to €20. The other theme parks are cheaper, but not as good.
 
Almeria - Although it is 45 to 50 minutes drive Almeria does have some splendid Moorish architecture and an interesting and more modern, cathedral.The dominant feature of the town is the Alcazaba fortress, built in the tenth century by the Moors. Visiting the Alcazaba is free to EU passport holders between October and March, otherwise it is just €1.50. Note it is closed on Mondays.
 
Granada - Granada has one of the most dramatic locations in Spain, poised below the backdrop of the snowcapped peaks of the Sierra Nevada. The cities most striking feature is the near-perfect Alhambra Palace. Granada has even more charms than the palace and is well worth a trip even though it is just over 200km from Vera. The journey takes about two hours if driving via Almeria, but a more spectacular route can be taken through the mountains to the north of Vera.

Vera / Valle Del Este Golf Resort area

Despite being located on a golf resort the area provides an exceptional range of activities for the family. These include:

Beaches
 
For those who enjoy beach holidays there are uncrowded white sand beaches and an excellent beach club that is for the exclusive use of Valle del Este residents located just 10 minutes from the apartment. The beaches have lifeguards, and are maintained to a high standard with regularly placed fresh water showers provided. There are frequent play areas provided for younger children.
 
Vera - The town of Vera has a long history. It was, for a while, the border between Christian and Moorish Spain. The town is packed with traditional shops and restaurants and discovering them down the narrow streets is one of the town’s delights. The town has many fiestas, including a February carnival. However it is also well known for its bullring. Although this is not an entertainment to everyone’s taste it is a magnificent arena.
