The Desert of Tabernas is the only real desert in Europe
and the best place to experience the characteristic aridity
of the province of Almería. Its vegetation and
fauna are of ecological interest as is the modelling
of its relief, with its distinctive attractive shapes.
The characteristics of this desert, with more than 3000
hours of annual sunlight, have made it possible to install
one of the largest solar power stations in the world.
For several decades now the film industry has been drawn to
this beautiful unique landscape, and has used its natural scenery
as a setting for location shots.
There are few places in Spain where one can see such a perfect
blend of landscape, desolation and beauty, and perceive the
aesthetic mirages of the desert in all their splendour.
