Almeria

Want to have a look at some Moorish remains; in fact the best you can hope to see? Yes for that you will have to go to Almeria where you will find a Moorish fort. Well for those of you who don’t know, back in the day Almeria was independent and was the wealthiest as well as very commercialized.

There are many spectacular views from the Alcazaba. Just to the left you will see Barrio de la Chanca. Other than that, you can see Almeria’s coast, and a cathedral which was built to protect the city from pirates back in the sixteenth century.

If you want to eat out, there are so many cafes to choose from all around the Puerta de Purchena. In fact there are also cafes on the way down to the harbor. The city also has a beach but it’s towards the southeast.

Another really fabulous thing is the natural park because not much construction work has been done there. Yes I am talking about the Cabo de Gata. This park has crystal clear water flowing throughout, and believe me it’s the best place to spend your time.

In fact most of the people spend most of their holiday enjoying the clean warm waters. And if you like this, then it is advised that you also pay a visit to San Jose, Los Escullos,  Playa de Monsul  and of course Playa de los Genoveses. Not all people like these kinds of places, but it is always worth a try.

Accommodations are not a problem here. Hotel Don Ignacio is a popular hotel on the beach. It is inside the Cabo de Gata-Nijar National Park. This park has a great environment and outstanding beaches. The hotel has a swimming pool where you can visit and relax. You can also take boat tours, or even go scuba diving.

Another hotel in Cabo de Gata is Cortijo Los Escullos where you will find the best beaches ever. The water doesn’t get any cleaner than this. You can have such a beautiful view of the bay from here. It’s a quiet and peaceful place, quite close to the sea.

It fulfills all the requirements for a comfortable environment. If you love to be close to nature then this hotel is the one for you. It simply takes you away from your everyday worries and routines.
