Surrounded
by the "Cabo de Gata" nature reserve, to the south of Cabrera
Sierra, Carboneras is situated in one of the most beautiful
places along the Almerian coast.The beauty of this attractive
city lies in the strong contrast between the mountainous and
arid terrain that surrounds it and the deep blue of the
Mediterranean that bathes its beaches. Carboneras possesses a
typical Arabic architectural style; overlooking the coastline
there still exist several watchtowers, such as that of el Rayo.
