The Villa
Typical Spanish 2 bedroom fully equipped townhouse located on a privately owned complex. There are three swimming pools, including a toddlers' pool and the house is surrounded by well maintained gardens and walkways and is only 5 minutes walk from award winning beach and close to all amenities.
Location
Fuentemar complex is situated in the Almeria Province of Andalucia, Southern Spain, on the outskirts of Garrucha town.
Garrucha is a working fishing port that boasts two marinas and is a 15 minute level walk from the complex along the pretty playa. The port road has many restaurants and bars catering for most tastes, but concentrating on locally caught fish for which the town is famous.
The day's catch is auctioned on the quayside most afternoons and is well worth a visit. Local restaurateurs purchase their fish here so you are almost sure to eat locally caught fresh fish in the many restaurants that specialise in seafood dishes.
Five minutes walk from the complex is the award winning sandy beach which runs from Vera playa through to Mojácar playa with many beach bars, restaurants, etc. to enjoy as you stroll by. Tired or hot? then just sit and relax in one of the many shady palm tree islands and watch the world go by.

Additional Information
Situated in the eastern most province of Andalucía this is mainland Europe's warmest and sunniest region claiming 320 days, over 3000 hours, of sunshine a year. The average yearly temperature is 18º and during the summer the average is 24.6º. Warm winters are taken for granted and heating is seldom required.
Although a favourite destination for residents from central and northern Spain, until recently the province has been less accessible than some other Spanish destinations, a fact which has undoubtedly helped to shield it from the excess of tourism allowing it to remain the unspoilt, peaceful place it is today. The province is steeped in history which can be dated back to Phoenician times and before, a past reflected in its picturesque towns and villages. The whole area, with its natural coastline, beautiful beaches, national parks, mountains and valleys provides an overwhelming sense of space, offering an exiting new world to be explored by the more adventurous.
Its unique landscape, which guidebooks invariably refer to as 'lunar', has
an almost surreal quality and the Taberna desert region has
been the location of many spaghetti style westerns. A Fistful
of Dollars and parts of the classic Lawrence of Arabia
were filmed here. Imposing mountain ranges punctuate the wide
open plains that are criss-crossed with rugged barrancos,
dry river beds, which may only experience rushing torrents
of water as little as once a year. This seemingly arid territory
supports many different life forms, as there is an astonishing
variety of wildflowers, grasses, shrubs and desert plants,
many of which are protected by the natural park status of
much of this coastline.
