About Costa de Almeria
Text
Uncover Spain’s best-kept secret as you hit the unspoiled beaches, desert landscapes and mountain peaks of the oh-so-calm Costa de Almeria. Things are a little more rustic than the other Costas, where life simply revolves around sun, sand and seafood. It’s the most authentic slice of Spain, where even big-screen films were shot! Dig deeper and you’ll see atmospheric Roquetas de Mar is the flagship resort oozing go-slow charm. Meanwhile, Mojacar’s Blue Flag strips and whitewashed cobbles mean you can relax or explore as you like. Golf’s big in these parts too, plus you’re well placed for discovering Almeria’s Moorish-flavoured Alcazaba and Granada’s world-famous Alhambra.

A hidden gem

Less bustling than its fellow Costas and with even more sunshine, the Costa de Almeria delivers idyllic beach breaks without the crowds. It escaped the tourist boom of the 1960s and, as a result, has clung onto its many traditional and alluring charms, including its natural parks and tasty exports like strawberries!

Beach heaven

The coastline is a patchwork of bronzed beaches and rocky coves. Some of the best spots are backed by relaxed resort towns, but stray from the beaten track and you can easily find yourself a tucked-away stretch of sand or a pebbly plot. Playa de Mónsul and Playa de las Muertos are two top plots.

Preserving the past

Even the resorts have a sense of history, with their cobbled streets, whitewashed buildings in gorgeous Spanish style and even greenhouses. The Moors have left a strong mark on the region too – we’re talking an imposing fortress to check out in the city of Almeria.

Eating and drinking (beaches)

Seafood fans will be in heaven. You can feast on everything from battered flounder to lobster. Try the bocas de la isla, a local dish made with crabmeat. Almeria also does a strong line in cured sausages and ham. Wash them down with a glass of local red wine or anise liqueur.

Shopping (beaches)

Bustling outdoor markets spring up in the towns and villages along the coast every week. Dive in and scour the stalls for bargains on clothes, handbags and shoes. You can also sample food products fresh from the farm – the local green and red tomatoes are some of the juiciest you will ever taste.

Nightlife

For a big night out, head to Almeria city, with its late-night music bars and beachside discos. Resorts like Roquetas de Mar and Mojacar have a laid-back but lively after-dark scene, with plenty of seafront bars and pretty squares with outdoor tables.
