Carboneras Holidays, Costa de Almeria – Gateway to spectacular Cabo de Gata
Carboneras holidays are based around a port at the edge of the spectacular Cabo de Gata Natural Park: a 20 mile stretch of protected coastline in the south east corner of Spain, declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1997. Holidays in Carboneras feature a unique volcanic desert landscape with dramatic cliffs, brilliant light, extraordinary sandy beaches and coves, and an astonishingly blue sea. Carboneras holidays are blessed with the sunniest and driest climate in Spain. Carboneras beaches enjoy high temperatures and warm seas well outside the usual summer season and attract sunbathers from April to November.

Carboneras holidays – For serious sunbathers!

Holidays in Carboneras very much centre on the splendid Carboneras beaches which attract serious sunbathers for most of the year. Carboneras holidays feature 10 miles of tremendous beaches ranging from well-equipped town beaches to completely untouched stretches of white sand or sparkling pebbles. Popular Carboneras beaches include Las Martinicas with its beach promenade, El Algarrobico, El Ancon, Los Barquicos and La Galera. The most astonishing Carboneras beach is the dramatic Playa de los Muertos. Carboneras is a port and has some excellent fish and seafood restaurants.

Carboneras holidays – Explore an extraordinary region
Holidays in Carboneras offer a base from which to visit the famous unspoilt Cabo de Gata beaches, backed by volcanic cliffs, sand dunes and protected salt flats popular with migrating birds and resident pink flamingos. Cabo de Gata holidays are popular with walkers and mountain bikers and the park’s protected waters offer excellent opportunities for underwater fishing, snorkelling, scuba diving and watersports like sailing and windsurfing.

Holidays in Carboneras are not complete without driving north along the spectacular coast road to the attractive hill town of Mojacar and the lively fishing town of La Garrucha. Carboneras holidays could include visits to the long beach at Los Escullos, the pleasant seaside town of Agua Amarga, the fishing villages of San Miguel and Las Negras, and the family resort of San Jose with its attractive harbour and popular waterfront restaurants. Other worthwhile Carboneras holiday excursions include the white village of Nijar and the city of Almeria with its cathedral and fortress. Holidays in Carboneras could also include a trip inland; a weird lunar landscape of deserts and arid mountains, the setting of many spaghetti westerns and home to the frankly bizarre cowboy theme park “Mini Hollywood”.
