Vera holiday apartment: Valle del Este Golf Resort

Getting there and around: The closest and most convenient airport is Almeria - a good choice of airlines fly here from the UK (flying time just over two hours). You can hire cars very cheaply and easily (we can recommend a few companies) from the airport and it's a short, very easy 45 minute drive to the resort along the E15 motorway. A car is recommended, to be able to really get the most out of your stay, but if you just want a few rounds of golf and to visit the Beach Club once-in-a-while, it is not absolutely essential. The resort is also extremely accessible from Alicante - a very easy and direct 2 hour drive along the uncongested dual carriageway. A third alternative is Murcia, about an hour's drive away - many charter flights operate here from the UK in the summer.

Golf: The 18 hole, par 71 course was designed by José Canales and opened in 2002. It is a spectacular desert-style course, integrated into the surrounding landscape by clever use of indigenous vegetation. It is consistently getting rave reviews from golfers of all levels. There is a good combination of very challenging holes, with other less strenuous holes. The tees are particularly noteworthy, positioned on small raised platforms surrounded by volcanic rock. The fairways are wide and there are a lot of large sand bunkers on the course as well as 3 lakes and several waterfalls. All in all, a real challenge for any player. Current green fees are around 52-60 Euros with a lot of special offers/packages available at different times of the day and year. There is a driving range, a respected golf school and you can hire buggies (well worth it if you are playing in the heat of summer, but you can do without during the rest of the year and get some more exercise!). Call them directly on 950 398743. In addition there are at least four other courses within an hours' drive - Marina de la Torre in Mojacar (10 minutes), Desert Springs at Cuevas de Almanzora (25 minutes), Cortijo Grande at Turre (30 minutes) and La Envia Golf at Almeria (1 hour).

Other Activities: skiing and snowboarding in the Sierra Cabrera, scuba-diving, flying
