Almería
Almería coast is one of the most diverse coast areas of the whole Spanish coast. There are lot of regions that are still unexploited and therefore there are not yet developed. Almería counts with the most hours of sun a year, in total 3000 hours, the annual average temperature is 18/19°C and during the winter season the temperature of the water is hotter than the one of the air which invites you for a swim during this time of year. Almería has a big gastronomic offer and this combined with the quality of its beaches and the splendid cleaning and conservation service of them, makes that Almería is the perfect holiday resort.
   

The area of Almería – Cabo de Gata – Nijar is one of the most virgin areas in Almería. In this natural park you find a lot of little fishing places into which tradition and habits are still alive and where it seems that time has stood still, it look as if they were post cards of the past.

Inland, the landscape is arid and desert-like and therefore it was used as scenery for several American western films that have been filmed in Almería during the 60's and the 70's. One of these films is Peter O'Toole's classic “Lawrence of Arabia”. Near to Tabernas you can visit the western villages of Minihollywood or Yuca City, the sceneries for films such as “For a fist full of dollars” and many other films.

 
Thanks to the many blue flags on the beaches of Almería Poniente visitors can count on a ranch of services and commodities that will help them to make a success of their stay in Almería.
 

The steep and rocky coast line of Almería Levante gives a special charm to its precious white washed fishing villages with their tranquillity.

Although Almería's visitor associates Almería directly with its beaches, this Andalusian province also possesses a very important natural reserve in the hinterland where you can enjoy very unique views. The west of Almería goes from the Sierra de Gador until the wide beaches of the Mediterranean. These white beaches and the bay of Almería are in contrast to the coast of Aguadulce. And the east coast is delimited by the natural park of Cabo de Gata – Nijar and the border of the province of Murcia.

The Alpujara  
The Alpujarra is situated in the east of Andalusia, in between the provinces of Almería and Granada. It has an extension of 2.600 Km2 approximately.
 

It is a natural district with lots of personality, limited in the north by the Sierra Nevada, in which you can find the highest peak of the peninsular “The Mulhacén” and in the south by the Mediterranean Sea.

IIn the same territory you can find the Sierra de Gádor , the S ierra de Lújar and the S ierra de la Contraviesa . The marvellous landscape is formed by high mountains.

In the Alpujarra you can find very typical climate conditions with different temperatures. There are regions where it is cold and where there is snow, and in a few kilometres away this changes in warm Mediterranean temperatures. On the other sight its flora is very rich and counts with natural woods of very old oaks, pine woods, chestnuts and luxuriant poplars.

 
As a consequence of this very varied landscape, lots of the fauna and flora from the Alpujarra (Granadina and Almeriense) belongs to the natural and national park of the Sierra Nevada.
 
 
Berja is the capital of the Alpujarra, and however it is a very beautiful city, it is also a city with a high economical activity and therefore known as the commercial heart. In the early days it possessed a very important agriculture of grapes and mines but now the motor of the daily life is driven by the many greenhouses that are installed in the valley and in general in the whole municipality and even till Balanegra at the sea. Enix is the last village that belongs to the Alpujarra. This precious village is situated in the Sierra de Gádor and it is also very close to the capital of Almería. It's a typical andalousian village with white washed houses in the middle of green orchards that come down in terraces along the mountains. As every mountain village Enix also possesses its own source, and during Moorish times it had even 20 different sources. Enix is in the first place a beautiful village with a tortuous structure in which you confound the many streets with the flat roofs, it is very attractive and from everywhere around the village and from almost every corner in the village, you can enjoy the impressive views on the ravines and on the sea. One of these precious sites is the hanging garden of the children's park, which is considered for its situation as the most curious in the whole province.
 

For all the reasons that we have given before, you can say that the Alpujarra is situated at half the way in between the sea and the sky.
