Villa Ciscarejo Country house between orange groves in Gádor (Almería)

The town of El Ejido is known at home and abroad primarily for its flourishing, intensive greenhouse culture, and is also a community steeped in history with a wide range of tourist offerings, including golf, beaches, natural areas as well as active tourism and archaeological finds. The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the remains found in Ciavieja, dating from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. Under Roman rule, the population settled around Murgi, where remains of thermal baths, tombs with rich furnishings, and even a circus have been discovered. The Roman mausoleum known as El Daymón and the salting factory of Guardias Viejas, on the coast, also date from the same period.

Let's put aside the topic of archaeology and turn our attention to Almerimar, a top-class tourist resort. It represents a new concept in tourism, combining leisure activities with architecture perfectly integrated into the environment. The resort includes a golf course and one of the best marinas on the Spanish coast.
Beaches, hotels, palm trees, and green spaces make Almerimar a true oasis, a dream place to relax and enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
Nearby, adjacent to the Almerimar Golf Club, is the Punta Entinas-Sabinar Nature Reserve. A landscape of dunes with lagoons, a beautiful, unspoiled beach, home to numerous bird species, a true paradise for ornithologists.

The Cañada de las Norias, a wetland home to over fifty protected species, is an example of how human intervention can promote the creation of natural areas. When soil was extracted from this area for the development of greenhouse crops, saltwater deposits rose to the surface. Covered by a dense layer of marsh vegetation, these form a 130-hectare wetland, used as a breeding ground by numerous annual and migratory birds, notably the white-headed duck.
From the extensive Cerrillos Beach to Balerma, the beaches of El Ejido offer something for all tastes: lively beaches with modern infrastructure, quiet and secluded spots, or others perfect for windsurfing... 35 kilometers of coastline to choose from.
Coast and nature come together at Cerrillos Beach, between El Ejido and Roquetas de Mar; An ecosystem of dunes and salt flats, home to the Salinas de Cerrillos natural landscape. Following the coast eastward, we come to the Punta Entinas-Sabinar Nature Reserve and Park, home to the beaches of El Príncipe or Sabinar and Entinas. Although access is prohibited, it's worth approaching this paradise to fully enjoy nature.

The tranquility of this stretch of coast contrasts sharply with the cheerful atmosphere of beaches like San Miguel de Levante, located by the Almerimar marina.
Ensenada de San Miguel is a meeting place for windsurfing enthusiasts, perfect for pursuing your passion for surfing at any time of year. It is not for nothing that this location is often chosen for important coastal sporting events. To the west of Ensenada is a beautiful Blue Flag beach, from which you can walk to the Guardias Viejas fortress. Nearby, Piedra del Moro beach reminds us of the area's Moorish past.
The remains of the thermal baths and saltworks at Guardias Viejas, whose salt pans are home to a rich birdlife, are evidence of the Romans. Balerma beach stretches between Guardias Viejas and Balerma, where an 18th-century castle is preserved. In addition to the lively beach along the waterfront promenade, the highlight of the El Ejido coastal route is the pristine, expansive beach next to the dunes. The El Ejido coastal route ends in Balanegra, a small residential town with a wide range of summer accommodation options.
