With its long, sandy beaches, pretty marinas, fishing ports, coastal resorts, mountains, Andalucían towns and villages as well as championship quality golfing venues, the area has much to offer the holidaymaker. Despite this, much of the region lies unspoilt by mass tourism, protected from over -development thus retaining its natural beauty.
One of the main reasons people visit the area around Vera is to discover the very many beaches which, for most of the year can be virtually deserted and even in the height of the summer never reach the over-crowding seen in some of the other Spanish resorts. Beachside parking is abundant and mostly free. There are beaches to suit everyone from gently sloping sandy beaches to hidden away rugged rocky coves. A lot, but not all, have small bars and toilets. Vera is pleased to offer many beaches with access and assistance for the disabled. Some of the more popular beaches also offer free childrens play care facilities.
Within a short drive of the villa, you will come across winding, narrow streets and whitewashed houses typical of Andalucía. On the sea front of the fishing port of Garrucha you’ll find a busy marina and a selection of the finest fish restaurants in the province.
A little further along the coast is the Cabo de Gata National Park,  declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO, featuring abundant flora and fauna. This is a dramatic landscape with remote areas, desert terrain and a simple way of life. The secluded coves and clear, sparkling sea make this a beautiful setting to enjoy kayaking, sailing and diving.
