Garrucha

Garrucha offers a little light relief from the typical tourist attractions of the Costa Almeria, allowing the visitor to experience traditional Spanish life.

Situated in the Province of Almeria, Garrucha is a traditional Spanish fishing town, nestled between the beaches of Mojácar and Vera. A beautiful and lively town, it still retains much of its original charm. The area, as all of the Costa Almeria, enjoys an ideal climate throughout the year.

Over the last few years it has become a popular tourist destination, its slogan proclaims ‘Garrucha – sun, sea and seafood’. The town is famous for the quality of its large red prawns, only fished in the local waters; Garrucha claims to be the ‘Seafood capital of the Costa Almeria’. Fishing is the area’s main industry and main source of income, the town’s extended port is used for both commercial and leisure pursuits and visitors can watch the fisherman offload their catch after a day at sea, before it is auctioned off at the quayside.

With its seafood heritage Garrucha boasts an excellent selection of seafood restaurants and bars, most of which can be found along the seafront serving the fresh catch of the day. The art of ‘tapeo’ (go for tapas) is also an experience not to be missed in Garrucha, the area is well known for its delicious tapas.
