Almería is sun and light. Its 300 days of sunshine are not only a blessing for tourism but also the booming agriculture/food industry, whose greenhouse crops have turned the province into the vegetable garden of Europe.
Tourism benefits from this annual quota of sunshine with beautiful long beaches on the east coast and attractive lively beaches on the west coast, with Roquetas de Mar and Aguadulce as the flagships.
There are modern hotels equipped with every means for holding conferences and conventions just a few kilometres outside Almería city, where visitors can sample the fish and seafood or make a tour of the traditional tapas bars in the old quarter.
For those who want to experience the powerful attractions of the Almería coast to the full, there are certain activities that should not be missed, such as a stroll and lunch in Monteleva, near the salt flats, at the foot of the Cabo de Gata mountain range; a trip to San José and its marina to sample the wild turbot; or a visit to the harbour in Garrucha to enjoy delicacies such as red prawns, red mullet and Potera squid.
