The charming small town of Villarícos
is located approximately ten kilometres north of La Garrucha, a
lively fishing harbour in the process of development with villas,
hostels and hotels, as well as some fine seafront fish restaurants.
Villarícos is situated in a
unique position on the mouth of the Rio Almanzora and the coast.
There is a strong fishing community here, as well as several unspoilt
beaches. The surrounding countryside is stunning with the entire
stretch of coastline sheltered by the dramatic Sierra Almagrera
mountain. There are some spectacular caves due east of here - Cuevas
Almanzora and continuing off the beaten track leads you to Vélez
Rubio where the large Iglesia de la Encarnación is the most
lavish baroque building in the province.
