Almeria's long sandy beach, just a 10-minute walk from the old town, is a great place to spend a day (or week). Breezes blow in from the Mediterranean providing some much-needed respite from the sweltering heat, and should you need more cooling there are plenty of beachside bars, cafes and chiringuitos serving up bocadillos, tapas, paella and, most importantly, cold beer! Every year on 23 June on Noche de San Juan the beach comes alive at night with fireworks and bonfires (write down a wish and throw it into the fire for it to come true) – then take a midnight dip in the ocean. There is a hotel on the beachfront called El Delfin Verde, where John Lennon stayed in the 1960s, and is allegedly where he wrote Strawberry Fields Forever
