The 10 Best Things to Do in Garrucha, Spain
Garrucha is a municipality of Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. Garrucha is a seaport of south-eastern Spain on the Mediterranean Sea and the right bank of the river Antas. In 1998 the town had a population of 5000. The harbor of Garrucha, which is defended by an eighteenth-century castle, affords shelter to large ships, and is the natural outlet for the commerce of a once thriving agricultural and mining district. Garrucha had, at the beginning of the twentieth century a considerable trade in lead, silver, copper, iron, esparto grass and fruit, but now the only export from its harbour is gypsum mined in Sorbas, with a million metric tonnes being exported annually . Besides cargo ships, the port is home to a small fishing fleet and has approximately 300 moorings for leisure boats.

We visited with our grandchildren n a party of 8. The custodian was very pleasant but Sid not speak much English. That did not matter as he interacted well with the children and the bullring itself was very interesting. There was no charge but we bought a couple of souvenirs from the gift shop and there was a tip jar. We returned later in the week to watch a demonstration of bull fighting skills (no bulls were harmed) and at that time the bar was open.
During the year there a e many events held here and the atmosphere and acoustics are very good for music and Concerts.

We visited the Plaza late afternoon / early evening and wandered the streets and visited the little shops and then came across this beautiful location. It is vibrant and trendy and has several eateries and has a stage where regular Concerts are put on. The views are spectacular from here across the surrounding countryside.

Go-Karting 200/300cc and junior karts. Great 8 minute rides!
Reviewed By GenghisandOtherOne - Somerset, United Kingdom
Went here with a family group. Had the track to ourselves and they let our 14 and 11 year olds use the bigger 300cc karts, which they were delighted with.
The karts themselves were excellent, and very fast! You need to respect them because these guys have certainly not 'health and safeteyed' all the fun out of the experience.
Great fun for kids, and big kids alike

We visited the beautiful Mojacat village and had planned our walk back down the hill taking in the sights on the way.
At one point we werent sure which route to take for the bus stop and fortunately we chose the right one because almost at the bottom on the right was this little plaza with taps around the wall where you could drink if you wished.The water is lovely.
There are a few nice cafes at the bottom of the hill.

Such a peaceful place with such simplicity which is unusual in RC churches it looks as if it had a fresh coat of paint yesterday! Stick a couple of euros in the box and watch the row of candles light up!!!!!!

We were vacationing in Spain and driving along the Mediterranean coast. Being long time naturists we decided to spend a few days in Vera Playa. We rented a nice apartment in Vera natura and basically spent our time there nude living the naturist lifestyle. The beach is wide, long and beautiful. The sand is soft and fine. There are life guards and several beach bars as you walk. The north end of the beach is where the Vera Playa Hotel is located and is a naturist hotel. And going south is a long stretch of beach until the nude beach ends. The restaurants in the naturist area are a bit limited. Most are naturist friendly during the day but except for maybe two places you have to dress for dinner. We pretty much ate at the naturist friendly restaurants when we went out. The beach bars and restaurants are all naturist friendly but they close fairly early by european standards so dinner is usually not found there. The crowd at the beach is very mixed. Many naturist families as well as the usual groups of young and old that you would find on any beach except everyone is nude. It was a very pleasant and relaxing place to stay.
Overall, we will definitely by back to Vera Playa. The beach was beautiful and very relaxing. A great naturist beach vacation.
