Las Negras is a charming fishing village that’s located in the Natural Maritime Park of Cabo de Geta, one of the last parts of the Mediterranean coast that remains untouched. Located in the region that enjoys the most hours of sunshine in Europe, life is good here all year round. The village faces a remarkable hill, the Cerro Negro, which has inspired many writers and artists due to its spectacular geology. Behind this hill, only reachable by boat or on foot, lies the Cala San Pedro cove, famous for its beauty. The discovery of this site is the opportunity for a nice hike. The pretty clear water coves and the cliffs at Las Negras attract diving and sea aficionados.

Very near to Africa and located in the Almeria province, Andalusia will reveal all its charms to you.

The contrast is striking with the softness of the blue sea, the fine sandy beaches and the spectacularly eroded coves.
