Good morning

We are Ian & Sue and we are looking at the Costa de Almeria to purchase a property in the not to distance future, seen a few nice places in and around Albox.  Looking through your forums I am sensing a wealth of local knowledge (late nights for me scrolling through the posts). We hope to fly out in the not to distance future to carry out a "recce" of the area, any recommendations on a good cheap B&B either in Albox or the surrounding area? 

All the best Ian

You might also want to look at the Arboleas forum.  That also has useful information for the area around Albox.

There is a hostal in Taberno which offers cheap, clean accommodation but you will need some Spanish to arrange your stay.  You will also need transport.  Airbnb might also be worth a look.

We stayed here in the centre of Almeria 2 weeks ago and it was very comfortable: https://nuevo.torreluz.com/en

However it’s an hour’s drive to Albox (albeit pleasant enough), so next time we go we’re looking to stay here as it’s reasonably priced and gets excellent reviews on Booking.com: https://www.booking.com/hotel/es/la-parrilla.en-gb.html?aid=303948;label=albox-qpzJyXcCarvDohxaRHcGigS383040334487%3Apl%3Ata%3Ap12%3Ap2%3Aac%3Aap%3Aneg%3Afi%3Atikwd-19418280707%3Alp1007441%3Ali%3Adec%3Adm%3Appccp%3DUmFuZG9tSVYkc2RlIyh9Yf5EcukO1MOGLSSAuId8ToA;sid=cceab934f30c37a6f250639561966660

Try to fly to Almeria….Jet 2 cancelled our flight there last minute, so we ended up going to Malaga which was a good 2hrs 15mins to Almeria & likely longer to Albox.

Best of luck! 🙂
