Cabo de Gata nature reserve
Take a road trip in your converted van and discover Andalusia’s most beautiful nature reserve, Cabo de Gata Park. Ideal for both experienced and novice campers, the Cabo Park offers numerous wilderness and camping spots for an unforgettable night under the Andalusian stars.
Twenty kilometers south of Mojacar lies the Cabo de Gata Natural Park, a wild, mineral volcanic landscape, home only to rare agaves and the succulent plants of desert zones, but offering dozens of extremely varied beaches, some of which can only be reached on foot between Carboneras and the village of Cabo de Gata, via the volcanic reef of the Sirenas (Arrecife de la Sirenas), dominated by the Cabo de Gata lighthouse, one of the most advanced points in the Mediterranean Sea on the Iberian peninsula.
The Tabernas desert
Tabernas is a village in Almería, Andalusia. It is built around an Arab fortress overlooking an arid landscape of palm trees, agaves, prickly pears and cacti. This is the only desert area on the European continent, and the landscape is breathtaking. This desert area is reminiscent of the Arizona desert, and various filmmakers have chosen it to shoot their films. These include “Lawrence of Arabia”, “The Magnificent Seven”, “Indiana Jones”, “The Oilers”, etc., as well as the many spaghetti westerns. They call it “Mini Hollywood”.
