Carboneras, with its 16th century Castle of San Andrés, is a typical Mediterranean town, clean and tidy, and which is experiencing a growth of tourism. The architecture of the developments by the sea recalls once more the area´s Arab past, with dazzlingly-white cube-shaped buildings finished off with half-spheres, all set against the intense blue of the Mediterranean. This whole area reflects the indalica culture. Close by the town, on the beach at el Algarrobico, the locals still recall the Arab village built by David Lean to represent Aquaba, Jordan, for the filming of Lawrence of Arabia. Yet again, the magical light of Almería worked its effects, and for a few days this land was home to great stars of the screen, such as Peter O´Toole, Omar Shariff, Alec Guinness and Anthony Quinn.

Níjar National Park - The nearby Cabo de Gata has extensive cliff-top walks and secluded coves and beaches. It’s famous salt-beds are a haven for birds. As a taste of things to come in this very special park, the Reserve area of "Las Amoladeras" houses the Visitor Centre. Passing along a beautiful road between the Salinas Natural Site on one side and the Mediterranean on the other, we reach the Site´s bird observation post. This place is of great ecological importance, with a flamingo population which reaches up to 2,400 examples.
The superb flat beaches of San Miguel and la Almadraba move on to often steeply-dropping beaches, and the peace and quiet of the flamingos, golden dunes and whitewashed architecture of San Miguel de Cabo de Gata (with its echoes of Africa), are replaced by the high cliffs worn away by the sea. The lighthouse and advantage point of Cabo de Gata appear before us; 150 metres below, the sea strikes against and wears down the rocks. In the midst of the sea spray, the Mermaid´s Reef stands dark and ghostly. The south gives way to the east, and the coastline begins to climb north. Before stands the "Vela Blanca" watchtower against the backdrop of the Mediterranean.
