Top 5 Nature & Wildlife Areas in Almeria, Andalucia
Founded by the caliph of Cordoba, this Andalucian city on Spain’s southeast coast is a reminder of the region’s Muslim history. The Alcazaba, a massive fort, dominates the city and affords amazing views. Also worth experiencing are the cathedral and the Almeria Museum. East of the city is the rugged, desolate Cabo de Gata-Nijar coast, a protected area. To the west is the resort area of Roquetas de Mar, featuring vast beaches.

We have always wanted to visit Cabo de Gata and finally had our chance. We don't have a car while visiting Spain, so booked a tour with Costa Almeria Tours, highly recommended! (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187429-d12500803-Reviews-Costa_Almeria_Tours-Almeria_Province_of_Almeria_Andalucia.html) The scenery is stunning, but we were surprised to find so much variety -- beautiful inland landscapes, historic sites, fishing villages, flamingos, excellent restaurants, and so on. We had only one day and hope we can return for a longer visit!

Probably the most part of visitors come to these wetlands to see pink flamingos. Hundreds of flamingos spend the whole year here, but the largest number of them can be observed in the summer season, and this can be a great discovery for holidaymakers, especially for children. There are three ornithological observation posts in the Salinas. Two of them are in opposite of Las Salinas beach, the third is beside the road to San Miguel de Cabo de Gata town. Have on mind that all viewpoints are quite far from usual birds locations, i.e. in the periphery of the wetland, so worth to have binoculars or good object lens if want to take a clear pictures.
