Join Jesus on a tour:
A global visit to the so-called “The Plastic Sea”, located in the Western part of Almeria. We will either travel on top of the mountain or below, along the hillside. You will get to understand the significance of this amazing patch of land covered with plastic greenhouses. In order to completely understand the area, we will also cross the protected marshes and salt pans, enjoying very interesting habitats and bird species. |
This is a visit to a protected natural area, unique in the world. We will drive through restricted areas where we also will do some short treks to amazing locations. During this trip we will be trapped in time and will be embraced by the history of people living here along centuries. |
At only one hour from the coast of Almeria we will find ourselves at 2000 meters above sea level. Blue sky, Wildlife, amazing landscapes and abandoned ancient hamlets will transport us to another world. This itinerary crosses the mountains from east to west side, where we will learn to understand mother Earth, human and natural history by reading the stones in the highs. |

Located in the westernmost area of Almeria lies the Sierra Nevada mountain range. During this journey, we will cross the high summits of this ridge above 2000 meters (a.s.l.), from west to east; one of the most amazing and finely preserved places in all Andalusia. Stopping here and there at any moment to understand the wildlife of the area, taking photographs and enjoying the beauty of this National Park. |

A nice and quiet trip along the lowest mountain range (Sierra) of Almeria, close to the coastline and the town. From its highs we can see all the greenhouses down in the plain as well as enjoying amazing views of the Tabernas deserts and badlands. We will follow the clues of people living here along centuries, among old oak trees, and forests. |

The desert in Almeria is too big for being visited in only one day. This trip runs across the western side, driving across “ramblas” (temporarily dry riverbeds) running through Sierra Nevada, Filabres and Alhamillla mountains. Picturesque places lost in the middle of nowhere will delight us while you shall receive information about every place you are visiting. |

The Easternmost side of the desert is one of the most well-known places in Almeria surroundings. Film locations of old western films, the ancient seabed shaped some million years ago and other geographical aspects makes this trip a pure adventure in the place called “Tabernas desert”. A unique place for studying and understanding the geological origin of Earth. Pure geology and lively sensations. |
This trip runs across the moorish ancient area of the Alpujarras, on the Almeria side. A region that preserved its cultural heritage and memory. From the higest villages in the mountain till the lower ones in the river, we will see and understand this amazing area where local people live in their traditional houses roofed in reed and “launa” (powdered slate). |

This is a trip takes us to ancient and almost abandoned villages built up in slate. Some of them were date back to arab times. These are places with a special charm because one learns about how human life must have been some thousands of years ago, just by watching the inhabitants, kind and polite people. The Berber culture has remained intact and many ruins scattered throughout in the fields tell us about old battles, shepherds and wolves and a very rough way of life. |
Esta ruta tiene su nombre gracias al cielo y mar azul que predominan en Almería durante todo el año. Visitaremos tanto al Desierto de Tabernas, como el Parque Natural Cabo de Gata, donde distrutará de unas vistas incomparables, aprendiendo sobre Geología, Fauna y Flora de estos espacios naturales protegidos. |
This trip gets its name from Almeria's blue sky and blue seaside almost all year around. We will visit most desert landscapes, both in The Desert of Tabernas and The Natural Park of Cabo de Gata, where you will enjoy breathtaking views and learn about Geology, Fauna and Flora of these protected Natural areas. |
