The charming small town of Villarícos is a lively fishing harbour that has some fine seafront fish restaurants.
Villarícos is situated in a unique position on the mouth of the Rio Almanzora and the coast. There is a strong fishing community here, as well as several unspoilt beaches. The surrounding countryside is stunning with the entire stretch of coastline sheltered by the dramatic Sierra Almagrera mountain. There are some spectacular caves due east of here - Cuevas Almanzora. Continuing off the beaten track leads you to Vélez Rubio where the large Iglesia de la Encarnación is the most lavish baroque building in the province.
There is a fabulous Sunday market which is a must for any shopper.
