There are a few spots on the Spanish coast that remain undeveloped and the Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata-Nijar just east of Almeria is one of them. An area of cliffs, arid hills, spectacular beaches and picturesque fishing villages, although not undiscovered this area has a wildness and a sense of space for those seeking a more elemental seaside holiday. Stay in San Jose if you want a small taste of nightlife, otherwise stay at Los Escullos, either at the hotel or the campsite and during the day take a walk to the centre of the extinct volcano and spend the evening lying on the warm rocks by the sea watching the stars.

The Cabo de Gata Natural Park contains some of Spain's most beautiful, wild and unspoilt beaches and Rodalquilar is a gem of a place to base yourself while there. An old mining town might not sound the most appealing of places to stay but with its stylish Moorish houses, a couple of boutique hotels,some fantastically good tapas bars and a very friendly laid back atmosphere you'll feel you've stumbled upon somewhere very special indeed.
