The Costa de Almería surprises with the variety of its landscapes. Alongside the Mediterranean, you’ll find protected natural areas, whitewashed towns and almost desert-like scenery, making it easy to combine beach days with very different excursions. Cabo de Gata-Níjar, Mojácar and the Tabernas Desert are three places well worth including in your trip.

Cabo de Gata-Níjar, nature by the Mediterranean

Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park is one of Almería’s must-see places. Its volcanic origins have shaped a landscape of cliffs, coves, beaches and small coastal towns that retains a distinctly natural character.

Explore different parts of the park, visit the Cabo de Gata lighthouse or discover places such as San José, Las Negras and Los Genoveses beach. A perfect setting for combining sea and nature during your holiday.

Mojácar, a whitewashed town overlooking the sea

With its whitewashed houses cascading down a hillside, Mojácar offers one of the most recognisable sights on the Almería coast. Wander through its narrow streets to discover squares, viewpoints and small corners overlooking the surrounding landscape.

Mojácar Playa is just a few kilometres away, making it easy to combine a visit to the town with a few hours by the Mediterranean.

Tabernas Desert, Almería’s most unexpected landscape

Inland, the province reveals a completely different setting. The Tabernas Desert stands out for its arid landscape, shaped by ravines, slopes and vast areas with very little vegetation.

Its distinctive appearance has also made it the setting for numerous film productions, particularly westerns, creating a close connection between this Almería landscape and the history of cinema.

If you stay at BLUESEA Brisa Roquetas, you can alternate days by the sea with excursions to discover some of these places.

Cabo de Gata-Níjar, Mojácar and Tabernas reveal three very different sides of Almería: the Mediterranean, whitewashed towns and desert landscapes. Three stops for discovering everything the destination has to offer beyond its beaches.
