The Sleepy town of San Juan de los Terreros is a big favourite with Spanish and European families looking for a holiday away from the traditional large built up resorts. With its many clean beaches and coves, there is safe bathing for everyone. San Juan has some of the best fish restaurants in the region you will be able to soak up the Spanish flavour of eating late, drinking a glass or two of wine and then following up with a gentle stroll along the beach side promenade.

We have some of the only Blue flag (Calidad Turistica) beaches in Andalucia with golden sand, gently sloping into the warm waters of the Mediterranean. If the sun gets to you the newly built promenade offers beach bars and cafes for a plate of locally caught sardines, an ice cream or glass of Sangria.
With an average of 320 days of sunshine per year, the Costa Almeria has arguably the best climate in Spain. It's an ideal all year round location. Temperatures of 32-36 degrees in the summer, and about 14-16 degrees in the winter. Being a desert area, there isn't much rainfall and the winters are like a good summer’s day in the UK!

Whilst a lot of the Costas have been over developed with high rise blocks, nightclubs and over commercialism, this part of Spain remains traditional and friendly. The 'no building above 3 stories' rule which was implemented a few years back means that most coastal resorts are more family orientated and cater more to Golfers, walkers cyclists and relaxation seekers than clubbers. With close proximity to Almeria and Murcia airports and excellent road links West and East, you can be sure of easy access to beautiful beaches, natural parks, historic castles or larger towns and cities for shopping.
