Costa Almeria Almeria province, long appreciated by Spaniards from Madrid and the North, is now very much on the list of destinations for the discerning holiday maker. This is mainland Europe's warmest and sunniest region, with over 3000 hours of sunshine a year. Until recently Almeria was less accessible than some other Spanish destinations, a fact which has undoubtedly helped to shield it from the excess of tourism and let it to become the unspoiled, peaceful place it is today.
The province is steeped in history which can be dated back to Phoenician times and before; a past reflected in its picturesque towns and villages. The whole area, with its unspoiled coastline, national parks, mountains and valleys provides an overwhelming sense of space, and offers an exiting new world to be explored. Inland Almeria has an almost lunar landscape of desert, sandstone and dried up river beds and has long been a popular choice for filming adventure and western style epics.
There is an airport at Almeria which receives flights from many UK airports on a daily basis. In 2006 the new airport in Murcia will undoubtedly boost the area as it will be easily accessible from Almeria via modern roads and infrastructure.
