We passed a thoroughly enjoyable month in this spacious apartment located out on the south-western edge of the peaceful seaside resort of Roquetas de Mar, and overlooking a nature reserve of salt marshes offering pleasant walks down to a ruined lighthouse, with fine views northwards to the mountains and southwards over the Mediterranean.
The apartment itself is comfortable, well appointed, and everything holidaymakers might wish for. Car-less, we relished the mile walk to the nearest facilities (a well-stocked supermarket and wide choice of bars and restaurants) whilst for longer journeys there are frequent buses from a stop five minutes walk from the apartment to Roquetas (charming fishing port, indoor market, retail park, aquarium and castle) and Almería, an historic city and ferry port for Africa just half an hour away.
As for Roquetas de Mar itself, four generations of us have come under its old fashioned seaside resort spell, and will hopefully be doing so for many years to come.
