TRAVEL GUIDES DIRECTORY: COSTA ALMERIA SPAIN TURRE

The small village of Turre is of Muslim origin. As such, the houses are still whitewashed as in days of yore. It stands on a hill surrounded by fertile land. The town is only 5 km inland from Mojacar.

The Hermitage of San Francisco from the 16th century and the Parish Church de la Purisima Concepcion, built between 1861 and 1887 are two of the village's most aesthetically inviting architectures.

A large section of the municipality of Turre is located in the Sierra Cabrera, a majestic, beautiful mountain range which is very excellent for rock climbing. The more reposed and sedate could opt for invigorating pleasant walks as well as checking out the preserved remains of the old villages of Teresa and Cabrera. The village of Cabrera has recently metamorphosed into a modern urban sprawl with fair sporting and equestrian amenities. This residential development possesses quite an eastern charm to it. At the foot of the Sierra Cabrera is the Cortijo Grande urbanization, a tourist development with its own private airfield and golf course. Turre also has a wide selection of shops. There are numerous, excellent Spanish-run restaurants and bars and many are reasonably priced. Worthy of shopping spree is the Friday market, well worth a visit.
