| This is mainland Europe's warmest and sunniest region, with over 3,000 hours of lovely sunshine in a year. Until recently, Costa Almeria was less accessible than the other Spanish destinations, a fact which has undoubtedly helped to protect the coast from the excess of tourism and let it to become the unspoiled, peaceful place that it is today.

Costa Almeria, which enjoys a sunny and mild climate year-long, is as varied as any of the Spanish Coasts. Away from the lustrous coastline, inland from Costa Almeria is the sole desert in all of Europe. Coalesced in part by the Parque Nacional de Sierra Nevada (in the Sierra Nevada mountain range), this desert region is a rather surly landscape, barren and arid. The nearest village to the desert is Tabernas. Due to its atmospheric feel, the desert has been many times chosen as the location for shoots of Western cowboy films.
With its rugged, despondent coastline, the Cabo de Gata - Nijar nature reserve lies to the east of Almeria. This is mostly an arid desert wasteland, receiving only an annual rainfall of less than 200 mm. Only a few villages dare inhabit this place, making it sparsely populated with a very low population density. In spite of the doleful lunar landscape, explorative visitors such as hikers, birders and scuba divers troop here especially since many coves in this area can only be reached on foot. This area is well-visited particularly by nature lovers and back-packers.
Albeit the inhospitability of Almeria’s dry soil, the province has managed to eke out on a thriving agricultural industry. Plastic-covered tunnel farms decked with the freshest greens and flowers make the most out of the paltry moisture.
