San Jose is situated less than half an hour from Almería International Airport on a stretch of Spain´s Mediterranean Coast so Beautiful and undeveloped it has been declared a Natural Park
 
The coastline of the Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata is dramatic. It stretches north for approximately 45 Km from the south-eastern tip of Spain where isolated sandy coves are backed by rugged mountains and black cliffs plunge vertically into the sea. This is one of the very few areas of the Mediterranean where you can lie on a quiet sandy beach without a building in sight

A wonderful area for wildlife where exotic birds, colourful lizards and gorgeous butterflies are commonplace and undisturbed by human intrusion.The area has only one small resort, San José

The little resort of San José is built on a beautiful sandy bay surrounded by spectacular mountains in the heart of the Parque Natural. San José has superb beaches, a small marina and a good selection of bars and restaurants. By day the main attractions are the glorious beaches and the watersports available. Night life centres around the little bars and restaurants near the marina.

 

San José remains a Spanish resort with no large hotels or apartment blocks and tourist accommodation is mainly self-catering in houses and small apartment buildings.One of the great attractions of the Cabo de Gata is the beaches which are some of the best on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. In particular, the village beaches in San José are sandy and shelve gently. An unmade road leads from the village to the Cabo de Gata lighthouse, passing a number of superb beaches and coves where you can swim or sunbathe undisturbed.
