Cabo de Gata: a microclimate

Here is Joe's account of his holiday to Almeria during the Easter break. I think he sells it well... perhaps he's working on their tourist board? (J.G)

On March 30th, at about six pm, we started our eight-hour journey to Almeria. A small village with a weird name -Las Negras- was waiting for us. We got there at midnight and went to bed, all excited, knowing that we were going to have a great time there. Las Negras is a fishing village, with a nice pebbled-sandy beach full of cosy bars where you can have a "con leche", some "caƱas & tapas" and, of course, lots of fish.
My brother-in-law lives there. He "discovered" the place for us. He's a professional diver and has his own diving centre in a village called Rodalquilar, just six kilomentres far from Las Negras. It all started about ten years ago... but that's quite a long story, so I'll just tell you that if you want to enjoy yourself in a quiet place, away from crowded places and beaches, Las Negras could be your next destination.
