Vera Holiday, Property and Tourist Information

 

Vera

Up until recently Vera has been reasonably undiscovered mainly because the budget airlines were not flying to the Costa Almeria.  Now that they are tourism is booming. 

Vera is a historical picturesque Spanish town, with many interesting historical buildings to visit.  It has a fine array of shops and is renowned for its cuisine, from simple tapas to up-market restaurants, Vera is a great place to eat out.  Each Saturday morning from 9-2pm there is a market selling local produce in the main  street of Vera, it has a great atmosphere and good quality items for sale.

The beach in Vera is the main naturalist (nudist) beach in this region of Spain.  It is supported by many of the local hotels, and camping parks.

There is a water park in Vera called Park Aquatico, it is open from May till September, and well worth going on a hot Spanish day.

The Vera bull ring is a historical bull fighting ring, that has been reconstructed in keeping with the old style.  There are still bull fights here today.  There is also a museum on bull fighting.

Sights close to Vera:

  • Cabo del Gato-Nijar - the natural park is very nearby and is well worth visiting, its a protected area with high ecological value, due to its flora and fauna.

  • Astronomical Center - in Gergal, Sierra de los Filabres, you will find a astronomical center where you will find the worlds most powerful telescope, with the year round clear skies there is much to see.

  • Troglodyte Villages - there are many troglodyte villages worth visiting  because their homes are caves dug out of the cliffs.  The village of Sante Fe de Modujar is well recommended.

  • Mini Hollywood - a wild west town recreated with shows, cowboys, a museum, restaurants, a zoo with an array of animals, and a playground for the children. 

  • Texas Hollywood - film studio, and theme park, this is where a Fist Full of Dollars was filmed.  There also live performances and a bar, and restaurant.

All in all I would highly recommend Vera for your annual holiday or investment in property, it is an undiscovered, unspoilt town with friendly locals, and lots to do.
