If you are staying in Vera, Mojácar or the surrounding area this week and are looking for something beyond another day on the beach, you are in the right place!
The Costa Levante of Almería is full of places worth discovering, from spectacular Mediterranean beaches and dramatic coastal landscapes to historic villages, ancient archaeological sites, olive groves and fascinating local traditions.
The difficulty is often deciding what to do — and how to get there.
That is where Almería Trips can help.
We offer a selection of guided tours, day trips and local experiences from the Vera and Mojácar area, making it easy to discover more of Almería without having to spend hours planning routes, finding parking or working out what is worth visiting.
Looking for Things to Do This Week?
Whether you have just arrived in Vera or Mojácar, or you have already spent a few days relaxing by the sea, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your holiday.
You could explore the coastline, discover Almería’s history, taste local products or simply let someone else take care of the driving while you enjoy the scenery.
Here are three experiences to consider this week.
Explore the Far Limits of Andalucía
Tour to the End of Andalucía
If you want to see a part of Almería that many visitors never discover, the Tour to the End of Andalucía takes you towards the far north-eastern edge of the province, where Andalucía meets Murcia.
This half-day guided excursion combines history, archaeology, culture and spectacular landscapes in a single trip.
Along the way, you can discover the Castle of the Marqués de los Vélez, ancient Phoenician burial chambers at Villaricos, reminders of the area’s mining heritage and the unusual rock formations around Playa de los Cocedores.
It is an ideal choice if you want to explore beyond the main tourist resorts and see a very different side of this part of Almería.
The tour takes approximately four and a half hours, with pick-up and return in the Vera and Mojácar area and an English- and Spanish-speaking guide.

Discover the Taste of Almería
Olive Oil Tasting and Spanish Breakfast
Sometimes the best way to discover a destination is through its food.
Andalucía is famous throughout the world for its olive oil, and Almería has its own fascinating olive-growing traditions and rural landscapes.
The Olive Oil Tasting Tour offers the opportunity to experience this side of the region at a relaxed pace.
Visit the countryside, learn more about olive growing and taste award-winning extra virgin olive oil before enjoying a traditional Spanish breakfast.
It is a very different experience from a conventional sightseeing tour — and a great option if you want to combine local culture, food and the countryside during your holiday.
Rather than simply seeing another attraction, you get to discover something that is part of everyday life in Andalucía.

Discover Playa de los Muertos and Carboneras
A Day Trip to One of Almería’s Most Spectacular Beaches
If your idea of a perfect day involves spectacular scenery, the Mediterranean coast and a little exploration, the Playa de los Muertos and Carboneras excursion could be just what you are looking for.
Playa de los Muertos is one of the best-known beaches on the Almería coast, set beneath dramatic cliffs and surrounded by the distinctive volcanic landscapes of Cabo de Gata-Níjar.
But the experience is about more than just the beach.
The excursion also takes you along the spectacular coastline and includes a visit to Carboneras, a traditional fishing town with its own history and character.
It is a great way to combine coastal scenery, local history and some of the landscapes that make this part of Almería so distinctive.
And because pick-up and return from the Vera and Mojácar area are included, you can enjoy the day without worrying about driving and parking.
