We continue in Almería to talk to you about Níjar, one of the largest municipalities in Spain (it stretches from Sierra Alhamilla to Cabo de Gata). The town forms a highly attractive urban complex, although the most important part of the place is in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, which hides landscapes unique: mountains of volcanic origin, a coastal strip of beaches, salt flats and dunes; corners of great anthropological value ...

From Almería we moved to Granada to discover Salobreña, a jewel of the Costa Tropical. Perched on an imposing rock, it still preserves the structure medieval from its old town. The place has a privileged tropical climate, making it possible to enjoy its beaches for much of the year.
