Roquetas de Mar

Roquetas de Mar, Almeria, Spain
Roquetas de Mar is located just 17 miles to the West of Almeria airport and is perhaps one of the most well known resorts in the region.
The resort was built some 20 years ago and is relatively new compared to some of the older more established resorts in the Costa del Sol.
The resort is ideally suited to couples, families and our more mature holidaymakers as it combines a quiet beach based holiday with a fair mix of restaurants and activities to suit all tastes.
The beach is wide and shelves gently although care must be taken as the waves can be strong in this area. You have a choice of available watersports including windsurfing and jet-skiing.
Shopping within the resort is limited to souvenir, local handicrafts and footwear although you can always pay a visit to Almeria for the more ardent shoppers.
Eating out is varied and with a reasonable choice of local and international cuisine.
Regular bus services operate from Roquetas to both Almeria and Aguadulce. Within the resort a tourist train gives those weary feet a rest.
There are various excursions possible from Roquetas including Granada to visit the famous Alhambra Palace or the Wild West village in the Tabernas desert where many famous westerns have been filmed.
Daytime entertainment is centred around the varies sports and water sports including the many golf courses in the area. Nightlife is a relaxed mix of open air cafes and bars ideal for people watching or for the more energetic there are a few nightclubs. Many of the hotels offer their own evening entertainment programme.
