We arrived in Almeria with only one suitcase, Got in our Hired Car which is a must !! We were not given Directions to our place, so before we left home we had to Google maps and take with us, these directions were of no use, It took us hours, eventually Umberto came and met us and we followed him to the Property. On arrival we had No Air Conditioning and No fan, It must have been 40 Degrees in the Apartment and its a Solid Concrete Apartment and we couldn't open the Main Windows as there were lots of Flies about. There was No Cold Water in the Fridge in Fact I am not sure the Fridge was even on, We were advised to drink the Tap water, This is literally on Arrival. So we had to go off and Get Geoff some shorts due to no luggage and a Electric Fan to cool the room down and get some Bottled Water. Baring in Mind we had been on the Road since 3.30 am this is now 4 pm in the afternoon trying to find the nearest Shopping Town to get Food as well; as there are No local shops or Bars. The Scenery is Beautiful you feel like your in the Desert which is great. The Pool Area is very small and it;s mainly Occupied by Families, again Not what My Husband and I wanted as we were expecting a Quiet Rural Retreat, There are Plenty of Beaches to Visit they are Busy and some are very hard to Access especially West of San Jose. Umberto and his Family were All very Kind and Helpful. If you have booked a Vacation be aware that it is Very Rural and Very Basic, but pleasant.
