This traditional Spanish Town has managed to preserve its history and atmosphere without comprising on the needs of the tourists. It boasts fine, sandy, uncrowded beaches that stretch for miles, excellent restaurants that serve superb fresh fish which is landed daily at the towns fishing port and a good selection of shops and bars to keep you busy.
Roquetas de Mar is close to many natural parks such as Cabo de Gata which hides some wonderful coves and small beaches. You can also head up into the large, rugged, Sierra Nevada Mountain Range where you will find the southern most Ski resort in Spain.
For those of you that like to get out and sightsee, the Tabernas Desert is where the Spaghetti Westerns and films such as; the good, the bad and the ugly were shot. It is now possible to have guided tours of the studios.
