Almeria is a city bathed in the Andalucian sun which combines
Spanish & European flavours with that unique taste of being
so close to the African coast. The historic past of Almeria
dates back to the days of the Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians
who found the ideal location in this land to settle and trade;
which the Romans were also able to do when they turned the
province into Portus Magnus of the Mediterranean. In the 10th
century, the Arabs founded what is now the capital and named
it Almeria - the origin of what is now known today.
With this in mind, it is not unusual therefore, to enjoy the
wealth and vast changing scenery in this beautiful area -
as within this province is no less than eight national protected
packs, very different from each other such as the Tabernas
Desert or the Cabo de Gata-Nijar national park.
The Almeria coast lays between the Costa Calida and Costa
del Sol. Along the coastline you will find towns such as Adra
, Almerimar, Roquetas De Mar and Aguadulce - all with their
own unique blends of Andalucian charm. The Almeria coast is
a land of contrast and contradiction - with 3000 hours of
sunshine per year, and a mean annual temperature of 20 degrees.
