May 1st marks the official start of the season in Vera Playa. The promenade comes alive: beach bars, parasols and the smell of charcoal from 1pm. La Playa de los Muertos, 30km away, also opens its dirt-track access, unmissable this month.

The month in numbers. In May, highs hover around 24°C and lows around 15°C (indicative historical average for the Almería coast).

Written by Alex and Fran, who have run the three Hestía apartments in Vera Playa since 2016.
