Set on the edge of a natural park, with a few neighbouring villas this is the perfect tranquil location away from the busy resorts which makes for a fantastic location.
The great advantage of our location is being just 25 minutes away from the coast you have a larger choice of beaches and coves to visit all within a short scenic drive away.
The Costa de Almeria region
On the eastern edge of Andalucia lies the province of Almeria. It takes its name from its capital city which lies on the southern coast of the province.
The area could have remained somewhat unknown if it hadn't been for the film companies who discovered that the area offered ideal film sets for films such as Lawrence of Arabia. Sexy Beast and Patton.
Hundreds of westerns have been produced in the local hillsides.
To experience this you can visit "Mini Hollywood" at Tabernas, where you can watch one of the daily shoot outs, cheer on the sheriff, and see some very rough looking locals bite the dust.
Because of the diverse landscapes, the range of sports activities is endless from water sports to hiking, paragliding, horse riding and golf
With an average of 320 days of sunshine a year, the sun is virtualy guaranteed. With mild winters, and long hot summers. This is proberbly the best climate in the world, having very low humidity in this region.
