Curiosities of Retamar - El Toyo

Retamar and El Toyo are two areas often mentioned together, yet they reveal distinct personalities. This is one of Almería’s most promising zones, shaped by the fusion of residential tradition and the modern energy of major international events.

• The Mediterranean Games Legacy
  El Toyo as you see it today was born from the Almería 2005 Mediterranean Games. The neighborhood was purpose-built to host the Mediterranean Village, welcoming elite athletes from around the world. Many of today’s upscale residential complexes were once home to sporting champions — a legacy that still defines its character.

• A “Garden City” Concept
  Unlike the historic center of Almería, El Toyo was designed with a low-density urban vision.

  • Green living: Kilometres of bike lanes and wide pedestrian promenades invite you to move freely and enjoy the outdoors.

  • Clean skyline: Much of the electricity and telecommunication infrastructure runs underground, creating an uncluttered, modern coastal landscape.

• The Gateway to Cabo de Gata
  Retamar stands as the literal entrance to the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park. It is the final urban hub before protected nature begins. Stay in a luxury hotel and, within five minutes by car, reach the untouched beauty of Las Amoladeras — an unbeatable strategic location.

• Alborán Golf Course
  El Toyo features an 18-hole, par-72 golf course that has become a regional benchmark. Designed with sustainability in mind, it incorporates native plant species and efficient irrigation systems adapted to Almería’s semi-arid climate.

• The Origins of Retamar
  While El Toyo represents 21st-century modernity, Retamar began expanding in the 1960s and 1970s. Initially conceived as a summer retreat for Almería’s affluent families seeking distance from the city’s bustle, it is now fully integrated into the metropolitan landscape.

• A Privileged Microclimate
  Thanks to its open bay location and surrounding orography, the area typically enjoys slightly warmer winters than the capital and a constant sea breeze that tempers the summer heat — a natural advantage you can feel year-round.

Cabo de Gata is one of those places that feels beautifully untouched. Located in the province of Almería, in southern Spain, the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park is a protected volcanic landscape where dramatic cliffs meet crystal-clear waters and golden sandy beaches. With its peaceful atmosphere, charming whitewashed villages and unspoilt coastline, it’s an ideal destination for families looking for nature and space, as well as couples seeking relaxation away from the crowds.

Make sure you visit:

• The Cabo de Gata Lighthouse, perched on a cliff with breathtaking views over the Mediterranean and unforgettable sunsets.
• The Arrecife de las Sirenas, one of the most iconic viewpoints in the natural park.
• Las Salinas de Cabo de Gata, home to flamingos and a unique coastal ecosystem.
• La Isleta del Moro, a picturesque fishing village full of character and authenticity.
• San José, the main hub of the area, with a relaxed atmosphere and lovely seafront promenade.

Beaches we think you’ll like:

• Playa de los Muertos: often considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Spain, with turquoise waters and a wild setting.
• Playa de los Genoveses: wide, natural and perfect for long walks by the sea.
• Playa de Mónsul: famous for its golden sand and volcanic rock formations.
• Cala Rajá: small, hidden and ideal if you’re looking for something more secluded.
• Playa de San José: great for families thanks to its easy access and calm waters.
