The Costa de Almeria is one of Spain’s best-kept secrets, with its sugar-cube villages, rugged desert landscapes and oodles of unspoiled beach. Castles, natural parks, mini versions of movie sets – this dramatic coastline packs it all in. And don't forget to save some time for market stall-browsing.

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.
The coastline is a patchwork of golden 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.
Even the resorts have a sense of history, with their cobbled streets and whitewashed buildings in gorgeous Spanish style. The Moors have left a strong mark on the region too, including an imposing fortress to check out in the city of Almeria.
If hilltop hideaways are your idea of holiday heaven, then Bedar is hard to beat. And this place was first in line when they were dishing out classic Spanish good looks.
Set inland away from the waters of the Costa de Almeria, Desert Springs is a purpose-built resort with a Sahara-like feel.
Blissful holiday weather, historic Moorish architecture and miles of golden Mediterranean beach – Mojácar is one of the Costa de Almeria's favourite destinations.
Costa de Almeria boasts some of the best beaches around. The coastline is sprinkled with golden sandy beaches that stretch along the crystal clear waters. If you’re in search of unspoilt spots, Mojacar might be for you, while the tourist crowds flock to Roquetaes de Mar.

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.
