The Weather
Almeria is a sun baked province situated in the south eastern corner of the Iberian Peninsula with an average annual temperature of 18/19ºC. It has the highest number of hours of sunshine and lowest rainfall in Europe, and therefore comes as no surprise that much of the area is comprised of semi-arid desert-like landscape that is a sparsely populated wilderness. But the province is unusual in that the natural parks have snow capped mountains.
In fact the natural protective barrier of the Sierra de Gádor Mountains means that Almeria is one of the most prolific agricultural zones in Europe with more than 10,000 hectares of commercially cultivated land growing fruit, vegetables and flowers. The province further enjoys a protected status as one Andalucía’s most outstanding wildlife areas with the Cabot de Gata-Níjar Natural Park being its largest coastal reserve.
This warm and dry Mediterranean province has water temperatures during the winter months that are warmer than the air and therefore you can swim in the sea all year round. With its cloudless bright blue sky, the mild climate in Almeria means that all the outdoor activities on offer here can be pursued throughout the year.
