ALMERIA

The Costa Almeria is one of the eight regions of Andalucia in southern Spain and has in its history been ruled over by both the Roman and the Moorish empires. Nowhere is this more dramatically shown than in the architecture of the area, from the splendour of its sparkling whitewashed towns to the unique style of its cave houses.

Famed for its miles of beautiful unspoiled beaches and rugged landscape, Almeria has so far seen little of the development that has gone on in the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca. It is only recently that this area has seen an upsurge in the growth of new properties.

The city of Almeria itself is a vibrant and lively place that blends a modern approach to living, such as top class restaurants and shops, marine and conventional sports facilities, with a traditional working fishing port steeped in long history and culture. It has a wealth of museums, art galleries and historical monuments to explore including it's 11th century walls, 16th century Gothic style cathedral and it's 10th century military fortress.
