Almeria
The province of Almeria
is situated in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, on the
shores of the Mediterranean. It is bounded to the Northeast by
the provinces of Granada and Murcia, and to the East by the
Mediterranean and the province of Murcia, to the south by the
Mediterranean and to the west by the province of Granada.
Almeria is the Gateway of Spain and Europe and the window out
onto the African Coasts.
It covers an area of 8.760 kilometres and comprises of a great
many geographic contrasts including long beaches and small
coves, desert areas and others with a varied vegetation and high
mountains with extensive plains. The passing of time has also
had a great influence on the landscape, In Almeria it is
therefore possible to find modern and bustling tourist centres
as well as natural areas where man has scarcely left his mark.
Almeria has a unique landscape in Europe, with the dessert lying
next to the most fertile and productive gardens of Europe.
Alongside arid expanses, where survival seems an adventure in
itself are lagoons of salty water, teaming bird life and plant
species which have almost become extinct in the rest of the
world. Almeria is influenced by the African winds that bring
heat and dryness to the land bestowing it with Mediterranean
climate and a landscape devoid of water and tress which added to
the mountains terrain is the cause of the deserts.
Almeria property can be as diverse as the landscape.
Almerimar
Almerimar has often been heard to
be described as an Oasis in the Almeria desert or as one of
Spain’s best kept secrets. This is probably due to it being a
residential area for the people of El Ejido which in itself is
one of richest towns in Spain. Almerimar has all of the
attractions that this would imply; An 18 hole golf course
designed by Gary Player and opened in 1976 which has recently
been extended to 27 holes; One of Europe’s largest sports
harbours consisting of 3 darsenas, floating sports boat pontoon,
large dry dock and associated sea sports facilities; Extensive
blue flag beaches one of which is part of the natural park of
Punta Entinas and includes a naturist section; Horse riding
facilities from beginner to the John Waynes of this world and
all the culinary and drinking delights that one would expect of
an Andalusian village. As Almerimar is on one of the most
southern points of the Spanish mainland it has extensive hours
of sunshine which enables you to enjoy the snow capped views of
the Sierra Nevadas from a “warm living room”. There has also
been a large amount of detail and thought in the planning of
Almerimar which has led to extensive green areas, water areas
including two lakes and a regulation of building height which
means that Almerimar is definitely not your usual Spanish
coastal town.

Situated 25 km west of Almería and 160 km
east of Malaga. It is one of the few resorts in Europe where the
rainfall is scarce. The sun shines for more than 320 days a
year! Its wide, sandy beaches, the nautical sports, restaurants and
hotels make for an unforgettable holiday. Roquetas de Mar is
also known for its golf courses and water sport activities.
Enix
Village situated in the Sierra de Gador, the principal
characteristic of which is the abundance of water it possesses
in its area. This is the biggest treasure to be had in this
province, greater than the mines, now abandoned, which
previously brought it wealth.
Apart from that, the village is a point of white light
surrounded by semi-arid ochre-coloured land. It is a rustic
enclave of Moorish origin which preserves its original features
in its architecture of narrow graded streets with white
flat-roofed houses over which the Parish Church stands out.
Felix
Village in the eastern part of the Sierra de Gador, on flat
mountain land; it is here we find the spring that gives the
water for which the village is known.
The most attractive things about the village are its
tranquillity,
its picturesque architecture, its clean narrow streets, the
white of its houses, the clean fresh air and the friendliness of
its people.
La Envía
Situated in a wide valley with new villa
developments, west of the road from the N340 towards Felix
between El Parador and Enix in the Almeria region, Spain. The
short 18 hole golf course of la Envia, designed by Francisco
Mendoza, will attract people who prefer a nice, relaxed and
enjoyable game of golf rather than the challenge of defeating a
punishing championship golf course. Nevertheless there are a few
difficult, undulated, holes at La Envia Golf which require all
your skills.

guidelines preventing any high-rise buildings as they do not
want the region to resemble some of Spain\'s other overdeveloped
Costas!

own, this spectacular Moorish fortress town stands on a towering
crag overlooking pristine beaches and the sparkling waters of
the Mediterranean.
Fortunately, the village has retained much of its original
character, with sugar-cubed whitewashed houses and winding
streets, each blooming with flowers and leading visitors to a
lookout across the Sierra Nevada mountains and the
Mediterranean.
The village is rapidly becoming more cosmopolitan. Bars and
restaurants can be found throughout many of the Pueblo\'s maze
of streets, which bustle until the early hours during the summer
months. In contrast, for the many residents who live there
throughout the year, winter provides a quieter, spacious and
more relaxed tempo.

Villaricos
Villaricos is a simple fishing village, perched precariously
between the Sierra Almagrera and the sea and flanked by the
Almanzora River.
Villaricos was once a great Phoenician port. Forgotten by
history for thousands of years, it resurfaced as a silver mining
boom town in the 19th century before finally becoming the
pleasant fishing village of today, with a special identity all
of it's own.
The real charm of Villaricos lies in its old fashioned
simplicity and warmth of spirit and it is this lack of
pretension that catches you in the end.
