SHORT AND LONG BREAKS IN ALMERIA
Agua Amarga
Agua amarga means bitter water. The drinking water in the village has always tasted bitter so even when the village was no more than half a dozen fishermen’s cottages it had to be brought in from elsewhere. Surprisingly, the village has remained ‘a well kept secret’ and is still very small in comparison to neighbouring Carboneras (10 kms) or Mojacar (28 kms), both which have expanded madly over the last fifteen years. Agua Amarga has a beautiful beach that sits in a bay and is considered safe for swimming as there are few strong currents. There a few local shops for buying provisions but more than a dozen restaurants to eat out. It is 45 mins from Almeria Airport, 1hr 45 from Alicante and Murcia, and is busiest during July and August.
Cabo de Gata Natural Park.
For walkers, cyclists, wildlife and flora and fauna enthusiasts, this is the only coastal nature reserve on the Spanish Mediterranean. Here you will find enchanting little fishing villages, such as San Jose, La Isleta del Moro, Las Negras and Agua Amarga. Unspoilt beaches at Monsil, Genoveses, Las Salinas, El Mirador and Playa de Los Muertos (pictured left) are all within a short drive of Agua Amarga.
