Mojacar tour and Cabo de Gata cruise from Almeria
This tour combines two of Almeria's top attractions – the Cabo de Gata Nature Reserve and the historic hilltop village of Mojacar. You'll cruise off the coast of the nature reserve and then head by coach to Mojacar, one of the prettiest pueblos in eastern Andalusia. As one of our local guides puts it, “Cabo de Gata is where Almeria shows its wild side – it's still the same coastline our grandparents knew, untouched and full of stories.” It's a day that blends raw nature with centuries of human history.Sailing from the port of Carboneras, the boat trip offers great views of Cabo de Gata Nature Reserve – the largest protected coastal area in Spain. From the water, you'll really appreciate its dramatic volcanic landscape as you glide past hidden coves, imposing cliffs and pretty, unspoilt beaches that are difficult to reach by land. You'll also see the enticing Playa de los Muertos – though it means ‘Beach of the Dead', it's more a case of a beach to die for, and it regularly ranks among Spain's most beautiful beaches.Then it's time for Mojacar itself. A guided tour will give you the lowdown on its long history – it's believed to have been settled some 4,000 years ago – as you wander through winding alleys lined with whitewashed homes and bursts of colour from flower-filled balconies. Along the way, you'll see key landmarks such as the Moorish fountain, the old city gate and St Mary's church. And on the return journey, you'll pass through the impressive Tabernas desert.

Sierra Nevada tour with picnic and pottery-making demo
A chance to see the ‘other Andalusia' in the Sierra Nevada. You'll drive past rocky outcrops and olive and almond groves en route to Puerto La Ragua for a short walk through a pine forest. Then in Guadix – a town that's jumped out of the pages of The Hobbit – you'll get to see inside a cave dweller's home.
