Costa Almeria

The Costa Almeria is situated in the south-east of Spain, in the province of Andalucia. Almeria itself holds the title of "city with most hours of sunshine", with a total of over 3000 hours. According to this - the average annual temperature is round about 19 degrees Celsius and the water of the Mediterranean never gets below 20 degrees.

The climate of the Costa Almeria is Subtropical-Mediterranean, which means warm and dry and most of the time you have a bright, cloudless blue sky. This mild climate makes the area a destination, where you can plan an original holiday all year round. Its not only swimming, surfing and enjoying the beaches, you also can participate in all kinds of sport-activities, you can explore the rich culture and the history of the region, by visiting one of the numerous caves, or you can go hiking in on of the nature parks like Gata de Nijar.

The main villages are Carboneras, Mojacar, Vera, Garrucha and Cuevas de Almanzora. Here you can find typical and tradicional spanish shops and restaurants, but you dont have to miss the facilities of modern life.

Vera is only half an hour from the international airport of Almeria. The surroundings of Vera are one of the fastest developing regions in the whole of Spain. By implicating strict laws, concerning number of developments, heights of buildings and style of buildings, the regional government ensures that, even with all the development, the region keeps the homely touch.

Vera and the Costa Almeria - well worth thinking about!
