Costa Almeria, Andalusia is a beautiful unspoilt area of Spain and a very desirable place for relaxing holidays, retirement or investment. It is known as the warmest and sunniest region of Spain and boasts 320 days of sunshine every year, making the climate particularly suitable for those suffering from arthritis and allowing open air living throughout most of the year.

There is a vast expanse of coastline with lovely blue flag beaches and secluded coves. Fishing ports are dotted along the coast ensuring an endless supply of seafood to the local restaurants.

The province is steeped in culture and history and has been the cradle for many cultures including the Phoenicians, Romans and Moors, all who have left behind them invaluable evidence of their presence in the environment. There are many festivals and carnivals throughout the year celebrating traditions of past times.

Nowadays the area has several excellent golf courses with several more planned for the future. The coastline between Mojacar and Vera offers scuba diving, a water park and a flying club.

Nearby is Granada, a popular city for visitors with its beautiful Alhambra Palace and the Sierra Nevada ski-resorts only a few kilometres away.

The airports nearby are Almeria, Murcia and Alicante, all with flights to and from most UK airports.

"Summer is over, the beaches are empty, the seasonal restaurants are closing and the summer tourists have gone home… This is normally the end of the summer for most tourist resorts. However, in reality we have people swimming in the sea and enjoying the beaches, the restaurants are still open and our visitors are relaxing in the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. In the Costa de Almeria we are very privileged to have the most temperate climate in Europe. Our longer summers mean that the temperatures stay above 25°C daily. And our autumn and winter are like springtime. This advantage lets us offer a fantastic opportunity to our visitors all year round as we dont have to limit ourselves just to the summertime."
