Best Beaches

Playa de los Genoveses – large golden-sand beach in an almost unspoiled bay, ideal for relaxing away from buildings.
Playa de Mónsul – iconic beach with clear waters and a distinctive rock formation on the sand; very photogenic.
Cala Rajá – small, quiet cove with black sand and crystal-clear waters. (difficult access)
Playa de las Salinas – long, peaceful beach near the Cabo de Gata lighthouse, perfect for long walks.
Playa de los Muertos – turquoise waters among the clearest in the region; a more rocky and wild beach (beware of currents).
Cala de San Pedro – isolated cove accessible on foot (1.5-hour walk) or by boat, perfect for those seeking peace and quiet. (boat access from Las Negras)

Las Negras: charming small village by the beach, perfect for having a drink and even enjoying a meal.
Les Mines de Rodlquilar: former mines with striking landscapes. Can be visited by car; the terrain is generally accessible.
Cortijo del Fraile: ruins set in a desert landscape. In 1928, a real-life event took place here: a tragic wedding that ended in a crime of passion.

Los Albaricoques: small village, famous as a filming location for spaghetti westerns.

La Alcazaba: one of Almería’s most emblematic monuments, a 10th-century Moorish fortress with stunning views of the city and the sea. Perfect for understanding the region’s medieval history.
16th Cathedral combining Gothic, Renaissance, and defensive styles (it once served as a refuge against pirates)

Le Cable Inglés: an icon of Almería with sea views
