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 Aguaulce - 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.
 
Almerimar
 
Almerimar is a beautiful modern town with its own port, golf course, shopping facilities and everything else the British holidaymaker, or seeker of a new home in the sun would want - but without all the nasty pitfalls of a typical "resort in the sun". Its beautiful port, and friendly charm makes Almerimar a superb place to make a permanent residence. With over 1000 moorings at the port - this is obviously a popular choice for the boat lovers, and divers alike.
