Located on the western extreme of the Bay of Almería,
the Natural Marine-Terrestrial Park of Cabo de Gata-Níjar
has an extension of 34,000 hectares, spread out between the
coastal area and the Sierra de Gata. It is reached by the
local road of Almería to San José and its fork
to the district of San Miguel of Cabo de Gata, forty minutes
away from the capital.
This natural area, pioneer of the Andalusioan protectionism,
received its declaration in 1,987 and occupies a wide coastal
strip of the south-eastern area of Almería. Because
of the riches of its birds it was also declared ZEPA (Area
of Special Protection for Birds).
