What to do and see in Almeria, Andalucia: The Best Nature & Parks
Founded by the caliph of Cordoba, this Andalucian city on Spain’s southeast coast is a reminder of the region’s Muslim history. The Alcazaba, a massive fort, dominates the city and affords amazing views. Also worth experiencing are the cathedral and the Almeria Museum. East of the city is the rugged, desolate Cabo de Gata-Nijar coast, a protected area. To the west is the resort area of Roquetas de Mar, featuring vast beaches.

We have always wanted to visit Cabo de Gata and finally had our chance. We don't have a car while visiting Spain, so booked a tour with Costa Almeria Tours, highly recommended! (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187429-d12500803-Reviews-Costa_Almeria_Tours-Almeria_Province_of_Almeria_Andalucia.html) The scenery is stunning, but we were surprised to find so much variety -- beautiful inland landscapes, historic sites, fishing villages, flamingos, excellent restaurants, and so on. We had only one day and hope we can return for a longer visit!

I visited this beach as I had seen a review that said it does not get many waves. Last Tuesday, 10/09 it was windy and all the beaches with the Cabo de Gata Nature Park had many waves, so I gambled a 30 minute drive and sure enough, this playa was calm as a duck pond. Dogs are allowed so we made our way to the shoreline and set up camp. The water was crystal clear and so so warm, far warmer than the western Costa del Sol where I had come from. Fabulous place. Will visit again when not as windy!
