- Roquetas de Mar is a Spanish fishing town just 15 minutes by car from the provincial capital, Almería. It is famed not only for its fishing traditions, which are preserved today through gastronomy and annual festivals, but also as a coastal resort town. In 2016, the population was 91,965, the municipality with the second highest population in the province behind the capital, the 14th in Andalucía and the 69th in Spain.
The 'urbanización' of Roquetas is predominantly a Spanish holiday resort for the majority of the summer months, but it also receives many visitors from the United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany. It is one of the two major resorts in Costa de Almería, the other being Mojácar.
Roquetas de Mar is served by the Autovía A-7 on its outskirts and is linked to the town itself by the A-1051. It is the second-largest town in Spain without a rail link behind Marbella; in 2020 a proposal was submitted to build a railway from Almería to Adra via Roquetas and El Ejido.
The best things to do in Roquetas de Mar (“Roquetas” for short) include strolling the seafront. It has one of the widest and cleanest beaches on Spain’s southern coast. There’s even a beautifully tiled promenade you can use to enjoy the Mediterranean seascapes. The well-developed and sunny beach resort town is mostly uncrowded, which can be a big bonus if you’re looking for some peace and quiet.
Roquetas is a great choice if you’re travelling as a family, with a few great features to keep even the youngest family member happy.

Hermosa Roquetas de Mar...algun día volveré.
Both Roquetas and agaudulce are stunning. Wish I was there right now.
Goes own place x
*God's own
Qué extraño, se ven las calles desiertas 🤔
Why does the video say Roquetas, but most of the footage is overwhelmingly from Aguadulce?
That’s true. I realized it only afterwards. Too short visit.. ;-)
Aguadulce is part of Roquetas de Mar. Its like Brooklyn to New York, for example. So you can say its Roquetas😅
@@B3damn no, it’s not at all like that, Aguadulce is very separate but similar to other Almería provinces, Roquetas is mostly tourism with foreigners from many parts of Europe running business is there, if you think it’s part of it, then you’ve never really lived there and you’ve only read it, I wouldn’t of commented if it wasn’t so absurd to say it’s the same place, it’s as different as it gets from a neighboring city in Spain, although both are nice and pleasant
@@B3damn I think you’re just racist against Parador, lol
