Those looking for enlivening holidays throng to the renowned holiday resorts to the east and west of the lively capital city of Almeria. Almeria city is deemed a must-see, especially the old Alcazaba castle that towers over the city. The city itself is filled to the brimful by nice-looking squares. The sights and sounds are all appealing. In the city, people might want to lounge at its swanky cafes. Ambling down the ferry port and marina is also a lovely venture here. Beaches, marinas, hotels and sports centers keep the momentum afloat for vacationers hoping to make the best out of their holidays. They are all happily found strewn in the resort towns of Mojacar to the east, and Anguadulce, Roquetas de Mar and Almerimar to the west of the city.
To the west of Almeria are the ritzy tourist resorts of Roquetas de Mar and Aguadulce. The naturist beaches of Vera are located at the north of the Costa de Almeria, where a number of new complexes are being constructed here. Down further south is Mojacar. It boasts of a white village laid on the hillsides. The town has ever since successfully charmed tourists who both love little excursions out of their beach holiday antics.
The growing modern complex of Almerimar, found to the west, is where tourists are lapped with marinas, golf, hotels and many other facilities.
Adra meanwhile is an old fishing port town situated further westwards. The said seaport town is best known for its very interesting castle and various archeological remains. However, tourists often miss the route, when traveling along the coastal motorway to or from the CostaTropical.
Remnants of past primordial cultures are palpable around the province and its coastline. The land still bears the archaeological legacy of many many ancient cultures, from the Tartessos and Phoenicians to the Romans and Visigoths. These societies were lured here by the natural bounty and the strategic maritime geographic location. Hence, the vestiges of their culture are evidently still apparent. The region also retains an African flavor. The adjacency of the coast to Africa, which is a short distance away across the Mediterranean, had historically made it plausible to bind a long-standing tie with the said continent. Thereafter, the coast has borne a distinct African flavor to its culture as well.
