Places to Visit in Southeast Spain
by: Seb Jay
Southeast Spain along the Costa de Almeria is an unspoilt paradise. A world
away from the high-rise hotel blocks and apartments that are associated with
some other coastal areas of Spain, this Costa is subdued and altogether much
more inviting. Mile upon mile of sandy beach stretches out along the coastline,
truncated ever so often by headlands that crash out into the sea. For discerning
families looking for a quiet Spanish holiday getaway, the Costa Almeria is the
place to go.
Beyond the beaches
There are a wide variety of places to visit that are within a short drive of
the Costa de Almeria coastline. Here are some of the best…
Tabernas - Home to the 'Westerns' of the 1960s and 1970s, Tabernas is formed
of desert-like rocky outcrops and canyons that have played host to some of the
most memorable movies of this era. Clint Eastwood's A Fist Full of Dollars,
A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly were filmed here, as was
The Magnificent Seven. The movie sets (there are three 'wild west' towns to
visit) are now tourist attractions, with live wild west shows, stagecoach rides
and working saloon bars to enjoy.
Calar Alto Observatory - The province of Almeria lays claim to one of the sunniest
spots in Europe. On average there are over 3100 hours of sunshine to be had
in the area each year. Taking advantage of the exceptionally clear skies in
this part of Spain is the Calar Alto Observatory - a collection of five giant
telescopes, three of which are operated by the Max-Plank Institute in Germany.
Although chiefly a scientific research establishment the white telescope domes
are a spectacular sight at any time of the day or on a moonlit night. It is
also possible to arrange visits to one or more of the domes by appointment in
the Sierra de los Filabres.
Sierra Nevada Mountains - When on the Costa de Almeria you cannot fail to notice
the magnificent peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the west of the province.
Snow capped for some six months of the year, the Sierra Nevada Mountain range
is an all-year-round paradise. During the summer and autumn, hiking is the #1
activity, the mountainside yielding a fine network of paths to explore. During
the winter and spring the Sierra Nevada becomes Europe's most southerly ski
resort.
Granada - A short distance downslope from the Sierra Nevada mountains is the
beautiful town of Granada and its most famous of attractions - the Alhambra.
A palace residence of Moslem kings that dates back to the 9th century, the Alhambra
is a fortress (alcazaba), palace (alcazar) and a city (medina) all rolled into
one.
Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park - On the south-easternmost tip of Almeria is
the 29,000-hectare Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park. Pristine beaches, jagged
cliffs, salt flats and lagoons await all who explore this natural paradise.
With eagles, peregrines, cormorants and razorbills on show, this is the place
to come if you enjoy wildlife.
