Costa Almeria - about the area

Around a two and a half hour flight from the UK takes you to Almeria, in south east Spain. The area has 125 miles of stunning beaches that attract tourists year round. For those who want to do more than water sports and sunbathe, the coastline is scattered with historic hotspots like Vera, with its fine architecture, and the whitewashed hillside town of Mojacar Pueblo, as well as nature reserves and rolling hills and a rather dramatic landscape inland to explore.
