A small natural paradise on the Mediterranean, that's how the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park could be described; the least developed and most unspoiled in the entire province. The landscape, stretching from the beaches of the capital to the coast of the national park, is simply impressive, especially spots like Arrecife de las Sirenas, which is located next to fishing villages where it's worth taking a stroll just to observe the lives of the locals.

What stands out in this unspoiled area is the absolute tranquility, while the excellent care of the beaches is not forgotten. Six of these beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag: Cabo de Gata Sur, Retamar, San Miguel-Las Conchas, Zapillo, Agua Amarga, and San José. The beaches of Cala Polarca, Playa de los Genoveses, El Mónsul, and Cala Media Luna are ideal for enjoying peace, sun, and water.

The Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, declared a Biosphere Reserve, boasts a highly diverse landscape, from salt flats and dunes to the plains of the former gold and silver mines in Rodalquilar and small fishing villages like Isleta del Moro.

More than 1,000 native plant species are found in this park, which is particularly interesting for nature lovers. Unique wildlife, such as the audquin's gull and the pink flamingo, can also be observed here. It is Andalusia's first aquatic and land nature park and is located just 20 minutes from the capital. Its size and diversity allow visitors to enjoy 18 different signposted hiking trails.

The Club de Mar marinas in Almería and San José in the municipality of Níjar are considered bases for underwater sports and diving. The depths of the sea are home to a surprising array of flora and fauna. Special sports such as mountain biking, quad biking, hang gliding, and off-road driving are also available.
