Discover Cabo
de Gata,
buried deep in the most arid area of all of Europe and the
only place of maritime-land character throughout the entire
Community of Andalusia.
This is one of the most amazing landscapes
of the Almeria coastline. The beauty of the mountains, the
cliffs, and the hidden and solitary coves make this a unique
destination for every visitor.
One of the greatest wealth of this natural space is under
the sea. The marine bottoms are formed by prairies of oceanic
Posidonia.
In these submarine green extensions find food and shelter
numerous species of crustaceans, moluscs and fishes.
