The area

The house is close to the many unspoilt beaches of the Almería region, and within walking distance to Garrucha harbour, vía the promenade you can walk along the beach and sea front.

The Costa de Almeria is located in the South East of Spain, tucked away between the Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol. Generally, the area has yet to be discovered by the tourist industry and is consequently still rural and typically Andalucian.

Almeria is an area steeped in Andalucian tradition, with the historic villages of Mojacar, Turre, Los Gallardos and Garrucha all within easy reach.

The luxury property is just 500m to the uncrowded beach. Boardering the complex there are restaurants, Spanish, Italian, Dollar Bar with pool tables, The Dali restaurant with flamenco dancers and several other restaurants and snack bars within a short walking distance.

There are several supermarkets and shops.

A short walk along the promenade brings you to the fishing village and Marina of Garrucha.

Dinning out

A new promenade leads from the apartments into Garrucha which passes by a play area for young children, and out towards Mojacar beach. Garrucha is very family orientated with no nightclubs, but many child friendly restaurants, an ideal location to sample one of the many famous fresh fish restaurants along the Marina, whilst watching the local fisherman and boats come in with their daily catch.
