Cabo de Gata
One of Spain's main geographical headlands. Lots of rocky headlands
and sandy coves. The area is protected as a Natural
Park of Cabo de Gata - Nijar.
The coastal road is blocked to through traffic just to the east, making for a truly tranquil experience. The long, straight beach between the Cape and the small village of the same name is a popular retreat during summer weekends with residents of Almeria City. Look out for the pink flamingos on the salt flats, the ruined church and the ghost town.
They look like something out of a film set, but just demonstrate that some
years ago the salt must have been a sought-after commodity.
