Las Negras is a small fishing village situated in the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park, one of the most beautiful areas of the Almeria coastline.

During winter time or low season the village is quite a peaceful place with only 300 inhabitants. This number rises noticeably in Easter and the summer months. Tourists come here from all over Europe.

The village has a supermarket and various bars and restaurants that offer a varied menu for all types of culinary preferences. From paella to pizza, everything is covered. Las Negras has a very clean beach with a natural swimming pool made from the small reef that juts out into the sea. Children and parents bathe there without fear of deep waters or strong currents.

Las Negras is also a good destination for outdoor activities like scuba-diving, mountain bikes, walks or canoeing. The climate is quite good all year around with more hours of sunshine that any other region of Europe.

One of the things that must be mentioned is San Pedro. It is a cove that is only accessible by foot (about an hours walk) or in boat (trips are done regularly in high season), but is definitely worth visiting. Its and old abandoned village, where a few nature lovers have decided to make of it their home, with a white sandy beach and crystal clear waters. It also has a fresh-water fountain and a castle dated back to the thirteenth century with its tower that overlooks the bay. The local 'fiesta' is around the 15th of August (Virgen of the Assumption ) and usually goes on for about three days. There are activities during the day - board games, marathon, swimming contests, etc. And for the evening there is live music and dancing until the early hours of the morning. Its very family orientated and everyone enjoys themselves thoroughly. The villages in the surrounding areas are quite similar.
