Costa de Almeria, Spain
From the rugged coastline, secluded bays and remote beaches of Cabo de Gata, to popular resorts such as Roquetas de Mar, and Mojacar, the dramatically changing landscape of this remarkable coastal region stretches from Granada province to Almeria City. Greenhouse-based agriculture takes over El Ejido while lakes such as Albuferas de Adra Natural Reserve form an oasis of nature, and a paradise for aquatic birds. The spirit of the Moors also continues to shine with the magnificent Alcazaba Arab fortress. Built by Calph of Cordoba, Abd-erRahman 111, the Alcazaba once held up to 20,000 men, and is a spot offering stunning views over the city?s cave quarter, "Barrio de la Chanca," and Gothic style Cathedral.
