At the end are the most modern cities oriented towards the enjoyment of its climate, sea and beaches, with tourist resorts that make the Costa de Almeria the ideal place to spend the holidays. To the west, before Aguadulce, the coast becomes rugged with strong cliffs. From this point, a flat area begins where many touristic nuclei follow one another in full expansion.

Throughout the coast, tourist continue to practice numerous sports, such as golf, tennis, sailing, windsurfing, etc. Almerimar is a beautiful example.
