The whitewashed village 20km from Vera Playa retains its recognition. Visit at first light, before 10am the streets belong only to cats and geraniums.

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.
