Belonging to the municipality of Roquetas de Mar, Aguadulce is one of the most important touristic hubs of Almería province, located some 8km from Almería city. In 1964 it was declared first in the competition for Centre of National Touristic Interest in Spain. In 1950 it only had 27 houses and 300 inhabitants, however now the population is over 15,000 people and during the summer months, it goes up to 45,000.

They say that the name of the area comes from the fact that among the rocky hills that tower over the beach there are many water springs of crystal water, filtered and sweet, coming from the currents of Sierra de Dador.
