Nature in Almeria
The diversity of natural areas gives Almerķa a distinctive
character and special charm which draws tourist from many parts of the
world, perhaps to visit the unspoilt beaches of Cabo de Gata-Nijar, go
trekking on the Sierra Nevada, or watch Spanish imperial eagles from the
rocky and rugged miradors.
We recommend...
The landscape and fauna of the province, an ideal choice for lovers of
tranquility and nature. However, in order to preserve the area, visitors
should be especially careful so as to help to preserve this ancient and
unique habitat for centuries to come by avoiding being too noisy or leaving
rubbish. Perhaps everyone should be aware of how valuable nature is in
order to prevent it from being spoilt.

The wide range of nautral areas, each with their own
specific characteristics, is one of the main attractions of the province
of Almería. In addition to the extensive and widely known Natural
Parks of Sierra Nevada, Cabo de Gata-Nijar and Sierra Maria-Los Vélez,
there are also spectacular natural areas in Almeria's Alpujarra. Examples
of these include the Sierra of Las Estancias, Gádor, and Los Filabres,
which is considered the natural lung of Almería and contains the
Astronomical Observatory of Calar Alto. The Peñón del Negro,
The Arroyo Verruga Shelter, and the Mirador of Las Víboras offer
great views of the pinewoods over which fly numerous of birds of prey
like the impressive Spanish imperial and booted eagles.
Cabrera-Bédar stretches along the coast with its extensive woods
of holm oaks, cork trees and pines, a habitat where visitors can spot
one of the last remaining examples of an endangered species: the spur
thighed tortoise. Bird lovers will undoubtedly enjoy the wetlands which
are formed both by the estuary of the river Antas and the salt flats of
Guardias Viejas.
