Why this destination is a must-visit
Retamar - El Toyo is a coastal area of the municipality of Almeria, located a few kilometres from the urban center and very close to the Natural Park of Cabo de Gata-Níjar. This area combines the quiet character of Retamar with the modern planning of El Toyo, creating a comfortable and well organized environment next to the sea.
An outstanding curiosity is that El Toyo was originally designed as an Olympic Village for the Mediterranean Games, which explains its extensive urban planning, green areas and long promenade. Thanks to this, the area today has long beaches, convenient access and spaces designed for walking and cycling.
Retamar - El Toyo is an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility and open beaches, such as Playa de El Toyo or Playa de Retamar, perfect for enjoying the sea in a relaxed environment, well connected and close to both the city and protected natural areas.
