Spaghetti Westerns - famous for the filming of the "Spaghetti Westerns in "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, FISTFUL OF DOLLARS", and "A FEW DOLLARS MORE", you must go and see Europe's only official dessert including the area of Tabernas, where you will find an authentic western cowboy town with appropriate re-enhancements of bank raids and gunfights, can-can shows, also there is very good wildlife park, a great place to go with kids to have a good day out, well worth a visit.
Vera - The town is packed with traditional shops and restaurants, and has many fiestas, including a February carnival. Vera boasts the second oldest bullring in the Country and is restored to its former glory.
Garrucha - The beaches and harbours of Garrucha with seafront fish restaurants displaying and serving the local catch of the day. Sea fishing from the marina is a favourite pastime of the Spanish people with some great fish being caught all year round. A very popular area with miles of sandy beaches stretching along the coastline.
Mojacar - Mojacar is split between the hilltop village Mojacar Pueblo, and the beachfront Mojacar Playa. The Pueblo is perched on a rocky outcrop and can be seen from a long distance as the houses are painted a brilliant white. The village has narrow, windy streets, but is a joy to walk. The Playa winds along the coast for over 5 km with beautiful blue flag beaches and bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. Horse riding, quadbiking, and kiteboarding are just some of the many activties you will find here.
Villaricos -For those who prefer the quiet coves and beaches of an undeveloped coastline, this is the place for you.
Turre -This small town is off the tourist track and has a refreshing 'Spanishness'. As with most towns there are a collection of good value tapas bars.
Almeria - Although it is 45 to 50 minutes drive away, Almeria does have some splendid Moorish architecture and an interesting and more modern Cathedral. The dominant feature of the town is the Alcazaba fortress, built in the 10th Century by the Moors. Visiting is free to EU passport holders between October and March.
Granada - Granada has one of the most dramatic locations in Spain, poised below the backdrop of the snowcapped peaks of the Sierra Nevada. The city's most striking feature is the near-perfect and beautiful Al'hambra Palace. Granada has even more charms other than the Palace and is well worth the trip. A very pleasant and picturesque 2 hour drive away.
South of the resort lies the "Gabo de Gate- Nijar", a beautiful National park with dramatic volcanic scenery and an unspoilt coastline full of hidden coves and beaches.
