Roquetas de Mar Holidays

Roquetas de Mar holidays 2020

Spain is an enduringly popular destination for thousands of British holidaymakers annually, lured by the promise of stunning beaches, a warm climate, great food and plenty to do and see. The problem is many resorts are subsequently a victim of their own successes, in as much as the sheer volume of tourists who descend on some hot spots put many more potential visitors off. However that’s not the case with the picture postcard town of Roquetas de Mar, which lies on the scenic Costa de Almeria coast. Despite being transformed from a laid and stripped back traditional Spanish fishing village into a popular, facility-laden holiday destination, it’s retained much of its charm and appeal; and doesn’t entertain the mass migration of holidaymakers year on year. Essentially just enough tourists know about its gorgeous sandy beaches (some 12 kilometres in total), upmarket marina, long promenade, tapas bars, auditorium, bull ring, restaurants and shops, and the fact that its old town is steeped in local history and architectural delights. Which is just the way we like it. Sprinkle in a healthy dose of the flamingo-spotting Punta Sabinar Nature Park, local aquarium, and we think most summer holiday 2020 angles are covered. But we’ll let you be the judge of that.
