The Almeria coast stretches for over 100 miles, with sandy beaches, quiet coves and dramatic cliffs.
Inland there are traditional villages with "sugar cube" houses, and historic castles perched on cliffs rising into the blue cloudless skies.

On the northern coast of Andalucia, between Garrucha and Aguilas, lies the small fishing village of Villaricos. The Sierra Almangrera Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop. Villaricos is a charming traditional fishing village with a promenade and two marinas where PADI diving school trips can be aranged and a glass bottomed boat sails from. There are bars, restaurants and shops.
There are plenty of great attractions ideal for days out. There are two sandy beaches,one with a "chiringuito" beach bar. Parque Aquatico Waterpark is located on the road to Vera, only 5 minutes drive away.
Mini Hollywood recreates the magic of the Wild West at the site where many films were shot, such as “A Fistful of Dollars” and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” starring Clint Eastwood. There are horseriding and gunfight shows daily at noon and 5 p.m.
There are four major golf courses within a short drive: Desert Springs, Valle del Este, Marina de la Torre and Cortijo Grande.
