Spain, 6 Days · Tailor-made by car

Route around Almería, land of contrasts

Discover from behind the wheel a stunning landscape of deserts, valleys, beaches, historical heritage, beautiful villages and cosmopolitan cities. One of Spain's most spectacular provinces

We'd like to propose an unforgettable road trip exploring a land rich in beautiful and varied landscapes, proud of its important historical legacy and populated by welcoming, cheerful and friendly people who will receive you with open arms. On this self-drive tour around Almería, you'll get to admire rugged mountains, rolling valleys, fertile lowlands, pine and oak forests, jagged coastlines lined with spectacular beaches, arid lands and - of course - the unforgettable Desierto de Tabernas, the only desert in the European continent. For driving fans, Almería boasts an array of fascinating and attractive facets, the ideal destination to marvel at countless picture-postcard views while exploring charming inland hamlets, fishing villages and cosmopolitan cities brimming with history. You'll discover a whole host of amazing attractions: Almería, the quintessentially Andalusian capital city crowned by the imposing Alcazaba palace; the hanging houses of Sorbas; the natural beauty of the ancient rock formations of Karst en Yesos de Sorbas and Geoda de Pulpí; the castles, churches and historic quarters of Vélez-Rubio, Vélez-Blanco, Huércal-Overa, Serón, Las Menas, Adra and Roquetas de Mar; the swathes of greenhouses that cover El Ejido; and - last but not least - the Cueva de los Letreros, the cave home to the famous Indalo, a painting that depicts a man holding a rainbow with his hands, a true symbol of the province of Almería. And make sure you savour the mouthwatering range of culinary delights here, especially if you like tapas. They're experts!

Important remarks

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.

- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
