March 18, 2026, Molino de Viento de Almería

Carboneras is known for fresh fish and tapas straight from the port. Very authentic, hardly any mass tourism → more like "real Spain". Promenade with bars, small restaurants, and a relaxed nightlife.

Carboneras is a town with a wide variety of tourist services. Its privileged location on the Mediterranean coast of Almería is demonstrated by its multiple historical fortresses and its fishing tradition.

One of the most urban beaches around Cabo de Gata but no less impressive for that. Bring your own drinks and food as there is no stall to buy on the beach.

Old watchtower made of masonry and circular. These towers, of which you will see more than one on the coast of Cabo de Gata, were used to warn of the sighting of enemy ships by setting fire to their upper part.

November 24, 2022, Hotel Algarrobico

This hotel, whose construction was paralyzed in 2006, has become an icon of unbridled urban development for decades on the Spanish coasts. Its demolition does not arrive, despite criticism and pressure from environmental and neighborhood organizations. Meanwhile, this mass of more than 400 rooms less than 15 meters from the beach remains like a ghost that makes one think of so many other similar projects that will never be demolished.
