The Cabo De Gata

We leave your accommodation after breakfast and head South East toward Almeria calling into one of the many roadside bars for coffee.

Then it's 2hr motorway blast to the stunning Cabo de Gata.

Covering 45,663ha in the south eastern corner of Spain, Cabo de Gata is Andalucia's largest coastal protected area, a wild and isolated landscape with some of Europe's most original geological features. The eponymous mountain range is Spain's largest volcanic rock formation with sharp peaks and crags in ochre-hues. It falls steeply to the sea creating jagged 100m-high cliffs, which are riven by gullies leading to hidden coves with white sandy beaches, some of the most beautiful in Andalucia. Offshore are numerous tiny rocky islands and, underwater, extensive coral reefs teeming with marine life.

One of Spain's most important wetland areas for breeding and over wintering birds is called the Salinas de Cabo de Gata, the saltwater lagoon that runs parallel to the beach and is separated from it by a 400m-wide sand bar. Located between San Miguel and the Cabo de Gata headland, this lagoon is of outstanding ecological interest, particularly for its birdlike. The salinas (saltpans) are the only ones still in operation in eastern Andalucia

Don't forget your binoculars's and swimmers.

After lunch you will have the afternoon to explore the area or just hit the beach for an afternoons sunning.

When your ready its back on the bikes and homeward bound arriving back at your accommodation early evening.

Food and drink not provided whilst on the tour.
