Alborán Golf - Retamar

Located near Almeria capital, in the El Toyo tourist complex closet o the Cabo de Gata nature park, and designed by Ramon Espinosa, the 18-hole, par-72 Alboran championship golf course extends over 6.278 metres and includes an extensive practice area next to the clubhouse.

The design has achieved equilibrium between the different holes - both in length and orientation - while the actual course features two lakes that come into play (and store water for irrigation) on the front nine, and 66 bunkers distributed throughout the 18 holes. Alboran Golf was the golfing venue in the 2005 Mediterranean Games.

How to get there: From Almería on the A-7 take the El Alquian-Cabo de Gata turn-off. Head left at the first roundabout, then turn right at the second one for the El Toyo urbanisation.
