The Region

Text Box: A variety of attractions lie within walking distance of Al Andalus Hills (see the About Al Andalus Hills link). Slightly further afield the typically Spanish town of Vera (6km) is an extremely popular market town, which has both history and shopping in abundance. To the south, Garrucha is a bustling fishing port with a host of shops and restaurants, whilst a little further along the coast Mojacar offers a more traditionally British concept of a Spanish resort. Inland, the picturesque Moorish hill village of Mojacar Pueblo is well worth a visit. All the local towns have fiestas and market days.

Costa Almeria has the benefit of the lowest rainfall and the highest sunshine records for the whole of Spain. Together with the superb beaches, there are the attractions of the wild Natural Park of Cabo De Gata, the historic town of Granada is within easy reach, visit the original set used for filming A Fistful of Dollars in the 1960’s at Mini-Hollywood, go horse-riding or trekking, and there is even skiing at Pradollano in the Sierra Nevada mountains, less than 2 hours away.

There are three top-quality golf courses within easy reach. Closest are the Valle del Este – a stunning 18 hole par 71 course of 6269 yards designed by Jose Canales – and Marina Golf, Mojacar Playa, 5956 yds, par 72. The famous Desert Springs course, 6750 yds,par 72 is located a few kilometres north at Cuevas del Almanzora, and the developing Cortijo Grande 9-hole course is about the same distance south, in the valley of the beautiful Sierra Cabrera mountains.
