This is one of the most virgin areas of Almeria within surroundings of incomparable wild beauty consisting of a stretch of land and water that is full of life.

Almeria is the province with the most hours of sunshine throughout the year, with a total of approximately 3,000 hours. The average annual temperature is l8/l9oC, and its waters in winter are warmer than the air, and thus one can even enjoy swimming at that time of year.

Almeria's climate is subtropical, Mediterranean, warm and dry. Its most outstanding characteristic is its cloudless and clear-blue sky.

Together with its arid landscape, survival appears as if it would be a complete adventure. There are salt lagoons where a multitude of birds and vegetable species, extinct in the rest of the planet, still survive nowadays. Another landscape that contrasts with the aforementioned is that which we can find along the banks of the river Andarax, where we can enjoy the sight of palm trees, orange trees and all sorts of exotic trees that cover the river channel into a marvellous wild garden.

There are three natural parks that extend their beauty from the snow-covered mountains down to the desert area, through thick woodlands: Cabo de Gata-Nijar National Park with its deserted beaches, cliffs and beautiful marine life; Sierra Nevada Natural Park, with all-year-round snow; and to the north, Sierra Maria-Los Velez Natural Park, with its castle, cave paintings and extremely rich fauna.

There is also a great diversity of natural beauty spots such as that of Entinas-Sabinar Point, where flamingos and herons are to be seen in the pools and lagoons; Tabernas Desert, where one can appreciate the singular aridity of Almeria province; Sierra Alhamilla, whose pinewood forest is a lung of oxygen for the province' and the Karsts in Yesos de Sorbas, which is of great interest due to its geological, botanical, landscape, and above all, speleologic (caving) aspects.

All these natural areas, together with Albufera de Adra nature reserve, convert the Almerian landscape into one of contrasts, where one can appreciate the dons that Mother Nature has bestowed upon these lands.

Due to its strategic location, Almeria, which opens out onto the Mediterranean, was home to many different civilisations throughout its history. This can be clearly seen from the archaeological remains that are to be found throughout the province.
