About Costa de Almería
The Costa de Almeria holds the lowest floor of any coast covered here. Adra, at the bottom of its four priced places, is the cheapest place priced anywhere on this site, and Mojacar at the top asks about two and two thirds times as much. All four carry the same Idealista reference month, July 2026, and all four record Almeria as their airport.
The railway position is unusual and it is not the one a station map implies. Almeria has a station, and trains do not currently reach it. The operator's own station page carries the same notice against every service in its arrivals panel: because of works, the stretch between Huercal Viator and Almeria is being run by road, and trains terminate at Huercal-Viator, inland. Adra, Mojacar and Roquetas de Mar each record no station at all. So of four places, one has a station without trains reaching it and three have neither.
Adra needs its own paragraph. Its price is going down rather than up, and nothing published explains why. No figure is put on the fall here, because the method behind the price reports changed from July 2026 and a year-ago comparison may not be like for like. It is also the one town of the five checked in this batch for which no neighbourhood prices are published at all, so the municipal figure is the only granularity it has.

Asking prices compared
Ranked on asking price per m². Municipalities and sub-municipal entries are listed apart, because a district cannot be ranked against the municipality that contains it.
| Place | Asking price / m² | Population | Price tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole municipalities | |||
| Mojácar | 2.620 €/m² | 7.680 | Mid |
| Almería | 1.793 €/m² | 205.468 | Budget |
| Roquetas de Mar | 1.775 €/m² | 111.240 | Budget |
| Adra | 982 €/m² | 25.501 | Budget |
How the prices spread
Mojacar asks the most of the four places priced here and Adra the least, with about two and two thirds times between them. Almeria and Roquetas de Mar sit effectively level in the middle, so the useful distinction on this coast is between the ends rather than among the middle.
Adra is the cheapest place priced anywhere on this site, and its price is going down rather than up. Nothing published explains the fall, and no size is put on it here because the method behind the price reports changed from July 2026, so a year-ago figure may not be like for like. It is also the one town of the five checked in this batch for which no neighbourhood prices are published at all: the municipal figure is the only price granularity Adra has, and there is nothing below it to check a listing against.
All four carry a July 2026 reference month, so there is no odd month to correct for. Every figure is an asking price rather than a transaction price, which the index states itself.
Size does not track price here either. Almeria has more than two hundred thousand residents and Roquetas de Mar more than a hundred thousand, against under eight thousand at Mojacar, which asks the most of the four. The dearest of the four priced here is much the smallest of them.
Who each part suits
Buyers at the lowest entry price
The cheapest place priced anywhere on this site. Read the cautions first: the price is going down rather than up with no published explanation, and no figure is put on the fall because the method behind the price reports changed from July 2026, so a year-ago comparison may not be like for like. No neighbourhood prices are published for it either.
Buyers who want a town of real size
More than two hundred thousand residents and more than a hundred thousand respectively, sitting effectively level on asking price. Almeria has a station, though trains currently terminate inland at Huercal-Viator.
Buyers at the top of this coast
The dearest of the four priced here at about two and two thirds times Adra, and much the smallest with under eight thousand residents. It records no railway station, so road is the arrangement.
Buyers who need a train
It is the only one of the four with a station, and the works notice on the operator's own page means trains do not currently reach it. If a running railway is the requirement, this coast cannot supply one today.
Buyers comparing this coast with another
About two and two thirds times separates these two, wider than the Costa Brava or the Costa Calida but narrower than about four and a third times across the places priced on the Costa del Sol, whose cheap end, Alora, is a June 2026 reading.

The case for
- The lowest entry price of any coast here
Adra is the cheapest place priced anywhere on this site. Whatever else this coast is, it is the one place among those covered where the bottom of the range sits lowest.
- One airport and one reference month
All four places priced here record Almeria as their airport and all four carry a July 2026 asking price. Neither separates them, so neither has to be weighed when comparing the four.
- A real range between the ends
About two and two thirds times separates the dearest of the four from the cheapest, which is wider than the Costa Brava, the Costa Calida or the Costa Blanca. Budget does some genuine shortlisting here.
- Two towns of real size
Almeria has more than two hundred thousand residents and Roquetas de Mar more than a hundred thousand, and the two sit effectively level on asking price. Scale is available at the middle of the range.
- The rail position is stated rather than implied
Almeria's station carries the operator's own notice that the stretch from Huercal Viator is being run by road. The three other places each record no station separately, so the position is documented town by town.
The case against
- A station that trains do not reach
Almeria has a railway station, and the operator's own page carries a notice against every service in its arrivals panel: the stretch between Huercal Viator and Almeria is being run by road, with trains terminating inland at Huercal-Viator.
- No station at all in the other three
Adra, Mojacar and Roquetas de Mar each record having no railway station. Between that and the works at Almeria, no place priced on this coast currently has a train arriving in it.
- Adra is falling and no reason is published
The cheapest place priced anywhere on this site is going down rather than up, and nothing published explains it. No figure is put on the fall because the method behind the price reports changed from July 2026.
- The dearest of the four is much the smallest
Mojacar asks the most and has under eight thousand residents, against more than two hundred thousand at Almeria. A buyer reading price as a proxy for how much is in a town will read these four backwards.
- No train arrives anywhere on this coast today
Three of the four record no station and the fourth has one that trains do not currently reach. Whatever the eventual position at Almeria, right now every arrival at all four places is by road.
Questions buyers ask
- Can I get a train to Almeria?
- Not at the moment. Almeria has a railway station, but the operator's own station page carries a notice against every service in its arrivals panel saying that because of works the stretch between Huercal Viator and Almeria is being run by road. Trains terminate at Huercal-Viator, inland. The station exists and the service does not currently reach it, which is a different thing from having no station, and different again from the other three places here, which have none.
- Which places on this coast have a railway station?
- One of the four: Almeria, and trains do not currently reach it. Adra, Mojacar and Roquetas de Mar each record having no railway station at all. Put together, that means no place priced on this coast currently has a train arriving in it, though only three of the four lack the infrastructure. The distinction matters if the works at Almeria end, because the position of those three would not change and Almeria's would.
- Why is Adra so cheap, and why is it falling?
- Nothing published explains either. Adra is the cheapest place priced anywhere on this site, and its price is going down rather than up. No figure is put on the fall here because the method behind the price reports changed from July 2026, so a year-ago comparison may not be like for like. A price moving with no explanation behind it is a reason to look harder rather than a discount, and Adra is also the one town in the batch for which no neighbourhood prices are published, so there is nothing below the municipal figure to check it against.
- How far apart are prices on this coast?
- Mojacar asks about two and two thirds times what Adra does, with Almeria and Roquetas de Mar effectively level in the middle. That is a wider range than the Costa Brava, the Costa Calida or the Costa Blanca, and narrower than about four and a third times across the places priced on the Costa del Sol, whose cheap end, Alora, is a June 2026 reading. So budget does real shortlisting work here, but almost all of it happens at the two ends.
- Does the dearest town here have the most going on?
- Not by size. Mojacar asks the most of the four and has under eight thousand residents. Almeria has more than two hundred thousand and Roquetas de Mar more than a hundred thousand, and both sit well below Mojacar per square metre. Anyone using price as a proxy for how much is in a town will read this coast backwards. What the price column measures is the asking price per square metre and nothing else about the place.
- Are these prices what people actually pay?
- No. Every figure here is an Idealista asking price, which is what sellers list at rather than what buyers pay, and the index states as much itself. It also means these figures should never be compared directly with a transaction-based average built from notarial records, because the two measure different moments in a sale. The caveat matters most at Adra, where the municipal asking price is the only price published for the town at any level.
Where you might be better off elsewhere
This coast has the lowest floor of any covered here, and the honest case for it is also the case against it. Adra sits at the bottom of every priced place on this site, it is going down rather than up with nothing published to explain why, no neighbourhood prices are published for it, and it records no railway station. No figure is put on the fall here because the method behind the price reports changed from July 2026. That is not a bargain to be taken on trust; it is a question to answer before an offer.
The railway is the other thing to settle. One of the four places priced here has a station and trains do not currently reach it, because works put the last stretch on the road. The other three have no station at all. A network map will not tell you any of that.
If a running railway is the requirement, the Costa de la Luz has Cercanias serving Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Cadiz. If the low entry price is what draws you, note that Alora on the Costa del Sol, a June 2026 reading, is priced below three of the four towns here.
