Costa Almeria Holidays Offer a Truly Unique Experience
The Costa Almeria region is located on the eastern side of Andalucía in southern Spain and is well-known for its beautiful beaches, as well as the barren, moonlike landscape of the inland Hinterlands. Part of this region’s fame comes from its barren landscape, which has been used for filming many movies including the popular Italian “spaghetti Westerns” in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as well-known movies like Lawrence of Arabia. As tourism continues to grow in Almeria, there are now several popular resort towns that can be found in this region, including Mojacar, Vera Playa, Almerimar, Albox, Garrucha, Roquetas de Mar and Puerto Rey.
Many of the travelers that flock to the picturesque beaches, or come to explore the inland lunar landscapes each year, opt for self catering Almeria villas or Almeria apartments while visiting the region. This allows families, couples and groups of friends to enjoy affordable, luxury accommodation with amenities like fully-furnished kitchens, washing machines, comfortable sofas and beds, fantastic views, private balconies, private parking, swimming pools, barbeque areas and flat screen televisions. With so much to see and do in Almeria, you are sure to find that renting one of the many luxury, private Almeria villas located in this area will provide the perfect home base for all of your adventures during your Almeria travel.
Travelers will not want to miss the Cabo de Gata – Nijar Natural Park where exploring this coastal desert while hiking or backpacking is the main draw. Visitors to the park will also enjoy visiting the scattered, scarcely populated villages that dot the landscape and making their way to isolated coves that cannot be reached by vehicles. Travelers who prefer more modern attractions may want to consider renting Almeria villas or apartments in Roquetas de Mar, or the popular hillside village of Mojacar, where many Almeria apartments allow easy access to the beach. Another popular choice for renting self catering Almeria villas is Almerimar, where visitors will find new attractions for tourists springing up regularly, as well as a well-established marina and golf courses.
Regardless of where visitors choose to rent Almeria apartments or luxury Almeria villas, day trips that should be planned into your itinerary include the city of Almeria and the fishing village of Adra. Both of these popular towns have castles that should not be missed, as well as a variety of historical sites and other family-friendly attractions. Almeria is also an excellent stop for those who enjoy cultural attractions, as there are several museums and art galleries that are perfect for spending an afternoon with your family. Shopping is another popular draw, as well as the ferry that delivers you to North Africa – another great excursion to consider when staying in Almeria villas as a holiday home base.
Evidence of Almeria’s early inhabitants – dating back to the Bronze Age – can still be seen in ancient cave paintings, and there are numerous architectural remains that tell the story of Almeria’s various settlers and conquerors. This, along with Almeria’s villages of modern cave dwellers, allows for a unique cultural and historical experience unlike anything you could experience on Spanish holidays to other provinces. For a truly unique Spain holiday, browse through the listings of Almeria villas and Almeria apartments to find the perfect accommodation for you and your friends, partner or family. You will not be disappointed by all that this intriguing region has to offer.
