Almeria

Almeria has lots of beaches and the warm weather arrives sooner in the year than the rest of mainland Spain, which is worth taking into account for an early or late season holiday.

Despite its rugged landscape with a shortage of fertile soil Almeria has managed to become an important growth area, well known for its oranges and grapes, most of which are exported. As you drive through you will see an endless sea of polythene tunnels, crammed with produce, the area is almost totally dependent on this industry.
