The region is famed for its wonderful climate, boasting 270 days of
sunshine, and a very low rainfall. 
THE ALMANZORA
Almanzora Basin
The Almanzora basin further North, is a prosperous district thanks
to the marble quarries, amongst other resources. It is a more
densely populated area containing a wealth of beautiful villages.
In Olula we can feast our eyes on a parish church, constructed
entirely from marble, and nearby is the bustling town of Macael the
marble capital.
Further down towards the coast is the town of Albox .Growing
rapidly, due mainly to the increase in Ex-Pats from U.K over the
past three to four years.
Albox and its surrounding villages have become a focal point for U.K
residents to settle.
Almazora Valley
The Almanzora valley offers some of the most spectacular views in
the Almeria region.
The province of Almeria features widely varying landscapes and
districts from the Valez lands with churches the size of cathedrals,
such as La Encarnationin Velez Rubio, and not forgetting the
mountain areas, such as Los Filabres.
The Tabernas desert presents landscapes to be seen nowhere else on
the peninsular.The famous Mini Hollywood is located here where films
like a Fist Full of Dollars were made.
The Wild West village has been perfectly preserved and is a major
attraction putting on daily shows and mock gun fights. It also
boasts an extensive zoo.
HUERCAL OVERA
Fiesta!
Huercal Overa surrounded by orchards and possessing remarkable
buildings, offers plenty of interest to those interested in caving
and Archeology.
During the summer months, which counts as about ten in this part of
Spain, most villages and towns have their Fiesta’s, which can last
from one to seven days.
Depending on the size of the town or village and the funds
available, will reflect the amount of entertainment available. Be
warned don’t go early, as most nights things do not start to get
going much before eleven at night, and carry on to whenever they
feel like going home which sometimes is as late/early as eight am!
One of the reasons siesta was invented, get a good afternoons sleep
before the Fiesta starts, as if you live in the area a Fiesta is
taking place, you will not be getting any sleep on those nights!!
Si, the Spanish now how to enjoy themselves, so go with the flow, or
get in a good supply of ear plugs!
