With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that El Ejido, 20 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Golf Almerimar, Guardias Viejas Castle and Karting Copo. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Carboneras, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Playa de los Muertos. (But we’d also recommend Playa de la Torre Vieja and Sombrerico Beach.)
