About this site
La Atalaya sits along the coast of the Cabo de Gata-Nijar natural park, a volcanic stretch of protected shoreline in Almeria province, Andalusia. This is a rugged, semi-arid coastline of cliffs and coves formed by ancient volcanic activity, with dive sites typically reached from small boats operating out of nearby towns like San Jose or Las Negras.
