Cabo de Gata-Níjar is Andalucía’s largest protected coastal area. A wild and isolated landscape with some of Europe’s oldest geological features, it boasts large volcanic rock formations, craggy cliffs, and hidden coves with white, sandy beaches. Underwater there are extensive coral reefs, teeming with diverse marine life. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a great place to experience and explore.
There is plenty to do in this area besides enjoying the beaches and walking – diving, snorkelling, kayaking, sailing, cycling, horseback riding, ATV rides and boat tours are all wildly popular.
