Location The province of Almeria is situated in the south east of the Spanish peninsula and borders with the provinces of Granada and Murcia.
The Costa del Almeria is tucked away between the Costa Blanca and the Costa Del Sol. Almeria is steeped in Andalusian tradition, with the historic villages of Mojacar, Turre, Las Gallardos, Garrucha all within easy reach of Vera.
History Almeria retains its Moorish heritage and takes its name from a word meaning 'mirror of the sea'. Almeria was an important settlement a hundred years before the building of the 'Alhambra' in Granada and the capital of the Moorish kingdom. The province, taking its name from the town, has escaped the mass tourism of the Costa Brava, Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol and has retained the old world charm and atmosphere of traditional Spain.
