Níjar, home of Andalusian ceramics and the jarapa rug, opens its century-old potteries in July for the Ceramics Fair: live workshops, wheel-throwing demonstrations and the best chance to take home a unique piece. 50 minutes from Vera Playa, at the gateway to Cabo de Gata.

The month in numbers. In July, highs hover around 31°C and lows around 22°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.
