Owner Recommends

The Finca is 5 mins drive from Aguamarga Beach. Sailing opportunities abound for visitors of all experience, whether just for fun or if you are looking for something more ‘intense’. It is possible to hire motor boats, catamarans and Hobie Cats in Agua Amarga. Further away by horse, boat or or 4x4 are Plomo, Enmedio and Playa del Muertos beaches, the latter requires a hike of 20 mins.

Turre golf course at 20 mins drive. La Manga in Murcia at 2 hours drive.

The Finca is not close to a ski resort but we find the 2 hour drive to the Sierra Nevada Olympic Ski Area near Granada not very exacting, using the brand new freeway via Guadix. You can go up one day, then come back the next and thus ski and swim in the Med on the same day!

Nearest airport: Almeria Airport (LEI), 45 mins by car
Further away: Granada (2 hours), Murcia (2 hours), Alicante (4 hours) and Malaga (5 hours)
A car is essential in Agua Amarga because there is no public transport.

Distances: Agua Amarga: 5 mins by car.
Carboneras (market town): 15 mins by car.
