Roquetas de Mar is situated 25 km west of Almería and 160 km east of Malaga. Lying to the west are the Sierra Nevada Mountains, these prevent bad weather fronts from reaching Roquetas de Mar, also great for winter ski-ing! It is one of the few resorts in Europe where the rainfall is scarce. The sun shines for more than 320 days a year! Its wide, sandy beaches, the nautical sports, restaurants and hotels make for an unforgettable holiday. Roquetas de Mar is also known for its golf courses and water sport activities. It also has lovely places to visit and offers unforgettable excursions for mountain bike lovers. If you are a fan of rollerblading or gentle cycling, you will find this is a good place to practice with miles of well kept promenades.
A day trip to Granada and the Alhambra is a must, as is a visit to Mini-Hollywood and the fantastic zoo. The Cabo De Gata is a great area of natural beauty and there are Bronze age ruins for those that want to travel further back in time
