Almeria is steadily building a strong reputation as one of the newest must visit golfing destinations. Located between the more popular tourist areas of the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca, Almeria is largely untouched by the mass tourism that has affected other parts of Spain and is therefore much quieter.
Almeria benefits from being one of the driest areas in Europe and enjoys the same great climate as the Costa del Sol meaning great conditions for golf. The small fishing villages dotted along the coast gives you a taste of the real Spain however for those looking for night life there are many bars and restaurants to enjoy.
The town of Almerimar is certainly a hit with most golfers, most stay at the Hotel Almerimar where they enjoy free daily golf on the hotels 27 hole golf course. The town is centred around the purpose built marina which is surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants and has something to offer everyone. If you’re looking for something a little bit quieter then why not travel a little further up the coast to the resort of Valle del Este and enjoy the great desert like Valle del Este golf course.
If you’re looking for a taste of something different from your Spanish holiday then Almeria is a very good choice, with excellent value accommodation and some great golf deals.
