Aguadulce is one of my favourite places in the whole world and this apartment was my home base whilst I travelled around the world for several years. Check out a video of Aguadulce (and the apartment block, here: https://vimeo.com/94331837 )
Almeria is considered the 'bread basket of Europe' as a huge percentage of the vegetables are grown here. Almeria receives more sunlight than any other part of Europe and has it's own micro-climate.

Notes
Aguadulce is one of my favourite places in the whole world and this apartment was my home base whilst I travelled around the world for several years. It's a beautiful little town with miles and miles of amazing beaches. The food is some of the best I've ever eaten and all incredibly affordable.
The summer months (End of June to beginning of September) things get a bit wild as all the Spanish flock here for their vacations. But then it drops off suddenly and normality returns for the rest of the year. Even in the winter months it's still very sunny and never gets cold (for an English person at least)
Almeria is considered the 'bread basked of Europe' as a huge percentage of the vegetables are grown here. Almeria receives more sunlight than any other part of Europe and has it's own micro-climate.
Malaga and Granada are both two hours away by car. You can take a day trip and go skiing/snowboarding in Sierra Nevada. There's also great Kite-surfing spots close to the apartment if that's your thing.

Neighbourhood
Miles and miles of beautiful beaches, funky beach bars, a busy tourist port and loads and loads of tapas restaurants of many kinds (mexican, argentinian, peruvian etc etc).
Getting to my home
Aguadulce isn't the best connected place in Spain (hence why it's a diamond in the rough). Trains run from most major cities to Almeria but they're a bit slow.
Almeria airport has regular flights to many European and Spanish cities.
Nearest airport
Almeria airport is 30 minutes away, Malaga is 2 hours.
Getting Around
There is a huge supermarket in the same building as the apartments as well as three great restaurants. The rest of the town is walkable. Public transport into Almeria is okay but not great. Car rental is pretty affordable and there is a big underground parking space available for you.
Lovely apartment with fantastic views. Well equipped and in a great location. Great host
Our family loved staying at Adam’s apt in Spain. It was a sweet small coastal town filled with down to earth people. We really enjoyed taking the kids to the beautiful sea every day. Also, shout out to his wonderful neighbor Mari because she really took care of us too. We would definitely return to Spain and do another exchange with Adam. He is kind, understanding, and flexible. If you get a chance to go you should. Thank you for providing such a great experience for our family!
Adam’s Spanish apartment is incredible and we feel very fortunate to have stayed there. It is very spacious for a one bedroom, the bed is huge and very comfortable, the pool is incredible and the views were amazing every morning to wake to. Thank you so much!
Loved this apartment and the location. The arrangement if rooms felt very spacious for a one bedroom apartment - plus there was the upstairs! View is magnificent. It was quiet yet we were on a busy street with numerous restaurants and stores for everything we needed. We made a few trips to Almeria also and the garage was very handy to use.
The beach is indeed just a few blocks away.
We liked it very much.
Adam’s home is a beautiful as it looks in the photos! It has everything you need or want for a home near the beach (beach chairs, umbrella, kids toys, etc). It’s a quick 5 minute walk to the beach and is situated in the same building as a large grocery and a couple great restaurants. Adam was very responsive and very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to exchange with Adam again and look forward to meeting him and his family when they visit us in the summer :)
Adam and his family were great to have as guest in our home. They left everything as it was originally - clean and organized. Would recommend an exchange with this lovely family.
Absolute pleasure to host! Great communication and took such good care of our villa. Would welcome back anytime ☺️
Adam, Gabi and their boys are the perfect guests! It was our first exchange and I can't imagine kicking it off with better people. They were courteous, kind and respectful guests who left the house spotless. Communication with them was easy both before and during their stay. They even went above and beyond by reaching out to our cleaning service and paying for them to clean after they left! I'm so glad it worked out for us to meet up with them during their stay. They're a lovely family and we hope to keep in touch! You're welcome back anytime!
So nice to meet Adam and his family! They are welcome anytime. Excellent guests.
Adam kept me updated about their arrival status during their journey so we had a very smooth handoff.
Adam and his family are welcome back in our home at any time! They treated our home perfectly and left it as they found it :)
Adam and family were great guests! Adam was easy to communicate with before and during the exchange. We'd welcome them back any time!
Adam, Gabi and the boys were super respectful of our home and we’d love to welcome them again.
Susan ans Doug are perfect guests. They looked after everything and gave brilliant suggestions. They are welcome back anytime!
Hayley was the perfect guest, she is welcome back anytime!!
We had an amazing week at Jeremy and Vanessa’s home. They were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The location is perfect - close to all the theme parks and downtown Orlando. The kids loved all the toys and games, and the swimming pool was a big hit too. We had a fantastic stay and would happily recommend their home to anyone visiting the area.
The villa is stunning – spacious, well-designed, and immaculately clean. The private pool was the perfect spot to relax, and location is very quiet and just a short drive away from Canggu.
The staff were truly outstanding – warm, attentive, and always ready to help with anything, from arranging transport to recommending local spots to visit.
Hayley was also fantastic, the perfect host!
Vanessa and her family were absolutely wonderful guests. They are such lovely people. Friendly, respectful, and a pleasure to host. Communication was clear and easy from start to finish, and they left the place in excellent condition. We would be more than happy to welcome them back anytime!
Home exchanges truly don’t get better than this. Katie, Eric, and their wonderful family welcomed us with such warmth and generosity, we immediately felt right at home. They went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible stay.
We were lucky enough to spend time together during our visit, they even took us out for an afternoon on their boat which was a real highlight of the trip! Their home is absolutely ideal for families: spacious, comfortable, with a huge garden and an entire basement full of toys and play space for the kids.
To top it all off, the neighbourhood is something special. One neighbour brought us cookies, another invited us over for a home-cooked breakfast. The kindness and hospitality we experienced were beyond anything we expected, truly overwhelming.
Thank you, Katie and Eric, for sharing your home and your world with us. It was unforgettable. 🌟
Roberta is lovely and her home is wonderful! It's a very cool, very spacious loft. The location is amazing and it's filled with books and keepsakes. She was such a brilliant host and provided us with all the information we needed for a great time in the city. She helped us check in (even though we arrived late at night), left food and drink for us and was on call whenever we needed any help.
Evelyn's home is incredible and we had the most amazing vacation. It's ideal for families, located close to LOADS of great parks, easy drive into Vancouver, huge amount of toys etc. Evelyn and Philipp also invited us out to their campsite and cooked us pizza, they are a wonderful family!!
I’m so glad it all worked out and that we were able to met. You guys are welcome back anytime!
Lydia and her family were absolutely lovely guests. They were respectful, friendly, and a pleasure to host. They looked after my home with great care and left everything exceptionally clean and tidy. Communication was smooth throughout their stay, and they treated the space as if it were their own. I’d be more than happy to welcome them back anytime!
Sophia and her boys were brilliant guests. They are welcome back again!
Katrina was a brilliant guest. Very friendly, great communication and left my place spotless. She is welcome back anytime!
Having Roberta and Jerry stay was such a pleasure! They were kind, respectful, and so easy to communicate with. They took amazing care of my home and left everything spotless. It’s always a joy to host guests like them. I’d welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to any future host!
Evelyn and her family were the perfect guests. The apartment had some issues whilst she was here (broken sink pipe/minor flood) and a broken boiler. Luckily she saved the day and was super cool about it. They are welcome back again any time!
Susan and Doug's place is brilliant. Located close to everything, but quiet and peaceful. Spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything we needed with some very thoughtful welcome gifts. Absolutely brilliant!
We had an amazing two week stay at Sean and Eliza’s home. They were responsive and courteous, and we worked out exactly which dates would work for us.
The house is perfect, spotlessly clean, and functional. The beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the next-door prospect park and the outdoor Japanese BBQ area. The space is tranquil and conveniently located next to Manhattan. Even though there are neighboring apartments, it's all very well designed for privacy. The house is well located and is an easy walk away from beautiful trails and shops. If you are into running and biking, prospect park lake is perfect and there are farmers markets and food truck festivals a walk away. We also had some day trips to Luna Park and the Bronx Zoo and they were both amazing. We didn't explore Brookyln as much as we originally planned, but it felt right to slow down and enjoy the house and the local area. Thank you so much Sean and Eliza and also special thank you to your son! All the best, Adam and family
Sean and Eliza's family were the perfect guests. They are welcome back anytime!
