About
Explore this spot near Las Negras. Great location for kayaking, canoeing, supping and wind surfing. Las Negras is a beautiful, small fishing village located on the coast of the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park in the province of Almería, Andalusia, Spain. The area is characterized by a rugged and arid landscape with impressive rocky cliffs and hills, turquoise Mediterranean sea, sandy beaches, and coves. The scenery is dominated by the distinctive silhouette of the nearby volcanic hills, and the pine and palm trees that line the coastline. The waters are crystal clear and ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving to discover the rich marine life. The village itself is a charming, tranquil place with colourful houses, narrow winding streets and a bustling harbour, where visitors can feast on delicious fresh seafood dishes in one of the many beachside restaurants.
