Truly
different from the rest of the Costa Almeria, this is a modern town which
boasts award winning architecture. The designs of the buildings include
those by the likes of the world renown Francisco Jose Garrido and Jose
Medialea!
A
large scale producer of fruit and vegetables fresh produce is in abundance
here.
Every
Spring the town becomes a centre for the International Theatre Festival commemorating
the patron saints, drawing tourists, locals and famous artists from all
corners of the world.
Despite
the modernity of the town it is surrounded by history stretching back into
pre-history with Neolithic, roman and bronze age settlements in evidence
and artefacts are on display at the archaeological museum.
