Cabo de Gata - At 29,000 hectares this is Andalucia's largest coastal natural park, with pristine waters that are perfect for fishing, sailing, and windsurfing, it is also the underwater photographers paradise. The mountain range of Cabo de Gata has sharp peaks and a craggy skyline, with jagged cliffs falling into the sea, and secret coves that have gorgeous white sand beaches.
Almeria City - Situated at the foot of a mountain range, and watched over by the splendid Alcazaba fortress, which could hold 20,000 men in times of war, and offered a magnificent view of any enemy aproaching, it is a city that offers great architectural and historical sites.
The Cathedral of Almeira - This great cathedral is located in the heart of the old quarter of Almeira, and building on it began in 1524 to replace the one that was destroyed in an earthquake in 1522. Although a church, it has a fortress-like appearance, which was determined by the continuing raids of pirates from North Africa.

Restaurant Alfareros - Calle Marcos 6. This is an excellent restaurant that offers a 3-course menu for lunch and dinner, which includes wine, for 950 ptas. Highly recommended.
Marisqueria El Alcazar - Paseo de Almeria. This restaurant is well known for its fish and seafood dishes, generous servings and reasonably priced menu.
Restaurant Sol de Almeria - Calle Circunvalacion. Found at the covered Mercado, this place offers meals for about 900 ptas, which includes a drink. The portions are generous, and at that price offer great value. |

La Herradura - This lovely beach lying between the two promontories of Punta de la Mona and Cerro Gordo is completely unspoilt and rivals any of the neighbouring Costa del Sol's.
Punta de la Mona - The Marina del Este yacht harbour can be found in a protected cove east of Punta de la Mona, where the clarity of the water attracts scuba divers and water sports enthusiasts.
Salobrena - This lovely white village with its Moorish castle and sugar plantations offers a sun-kissed beach to add to its many attractions.
