Cuevas del Almanzora
A predominantly agricultural town, with a large commercial section. The cave dwelling quarter deserves a visit, and there are many grand old houses, remains of a past era of prosperity, mainly due to the mining activity during the last century.
In the well laid out old part of town there are many examples of its past economic splendour and nobility, which were due to the exploitation of the Sierra Almagrera mines.
Cuevas is a short distance from Palomares village and Villaricos port and marina. Fishing boats continue to run in and out of the bay, the views from the rocky headlands are spectacular. Cuevas del Almanzora is close to the various new golf developments in the region and there are good roads connecting Cuevas to Vera Playa and other towns on the costa de Almeria.
