Casa Chafarinas The area

Eastern Almería coast

Things to do in Vera and around

From Puerto Rey most of the area is close by: the long beaches of Vera, Garrucha harbour, the white streets of Mojácar and the Villaricos coast. These are the plans we recommend to our guests, few and well explained.

A short walk from the house

  • Puerto Rey beach, about 270 metres away
  • Beach bars by the sea
  • Sports club nearby
  • Community pool, football and tennis

Trips and plans

Five outings that always work

Each suits a different time of day and a different group. Always check opening times, bookings and conditions before you go.

Half day

Mojácar old town

A walk through the white streets and a stop at the Plaza Nueva viewpoint, looking over the Valle de las Pirámides and the nearby sierras. Best late in the afternoon.

Lunch

Garrucha harbour

A stroll around the harbour and a meal of local fish or seafood: sea, fishing-port atmosphere and good food without a long drive.

Our recommendation →

Family day

Villaricos and El Playazo

Beach, seafront promenade and a coastline with mining history. El Playazo is the easier family option, with parking and simple access.

Costa de Almería Tourism →

Guided visit to the Mina Rica and its giant geode, one of the largest in the world.
