Photos from Municipality Garrucha

The small village of Garrucha is located on the Costa de Almeria (province of Almeria, Andalusia). It was originally founded in the 16th century when local fishermen constructed a defensive fort overlooking the Sea.

Garrucha has still managed to keep much of its old charm and it has become a popular visitor destination in the last years. The village has a fishing port where visitors can see the catching of fresh fish being unloaded and then sold on the quay.

Garrucha beaches are about 5 miles in total length and are perfect for activities such as football and beach volleyball, plus water sports like snorkelling and sub aqua.
