San José is a village and fishing port in the centre of Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata, in the Province of Almería. Over recent years San José is experiencing an increase in the number of visitors and is an easily accessible town from Almería airport and the A7 autovia. San José, as with all of the Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata is most popular during the spring and summer months. Although San José boasts a few beaches, a few outside the town and within walking distance, such as Playa de los Genoveses, Playa de Mónsul and Cala de la Media Luna. There are several restaurants and tapas bars in San José. The local independently run tourist office is a reference point for activities in the Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata. Accommodation is plentiful although in summer some places can be fairly expensive and are quickly filled.
Due to its situation in the middle of the Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata, one is never far away from natural spaces, the most popular of those being the beaches. But there is so much more and all within walking distance of San José.
Apart from the town beaches of Playa de San José, Playa de la Calilla and Tabacco Beach you can wander along westward to the stunning beaches of Playa de los Genoveses, Playa de Mónsul and Cala de la Media Luna. But this is just a small number of the stunning beaches and coves to be found to the west of the town. There is also Playa del Barronal, Cala del Príncipe, Cala Chica, Cala Carbón and many more. To the east to the pueblo is the stunning Cala Higuera overlooked by the even more stunningly located bar El Refugio (only open mid to high season). All beaches around San José are ideal for snorkelling.
Alongside the beach Playa de los Genoveses is the Campillo de los Genoveses, a partly cultivated natural space that is a haven for flora and fauna. Further along the track is part of the Sierra de Cabo de Gata. Both of these areas are popular with wildlife enthusiasts, hikers, artists and photographers, cylists and shepherds grazing their goats and sheep. Amongst the features of Campillo de los Genoveses is a huge fossilised sand dune that once was part of the beach, making this an area of geological importance.
Día de San José or Saint Joseph’s Day honors St Joseph, the Virgin Mary’s spouse, and is held annually all over Spain on 19 March. This date is also known as Father’s Day (Día del Padre) in many areas of the country. The celebrations start on Friday night where live music is played in the main square or plaza and there is a drinks tent selling beer, wine and tapas. This is in addition to the already crowded bars
Fiesta de San Juan is a festival of ancient origin adapted to commemorate St. John the Baptist. It is a festival that is usually linked with celebrations to celebrate the arrival of the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, whose principal rite is a fire. The purpose of this ritual was to give more power to the sun The festival is marked by a night of partying around beach bonfires and party-goers jumping over waves, each wave supposedly bringing good luck.
The nearby Monsul beach has been used for scenes in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and the music clip 'Ave Maria' from pop star David Bisbal. The syndicated TV series Queen of Swords used Monsul Beach and nearby locations for haciendas throughout the series.

Places to see in ( Andalusia - Spain ) Cabo de Gata Lighthouse
Once we are near the lighthouse of Cabo de Gata we can say that we have been where the south eastern Spain ends, because this lighthouse , and the viewpoint of the Sirens that is beside, were built in the exact geographical point where is located the Cape of Gata, as it was known at the time of the Greeks and Phoenicians and used throughout history as a reference point for sailors .
The lighthouse there today is relatively modern construction 1863, and the dependences beside the lighthouse were built in the twentieth century . The lighthouse was built on the ruins of the castle of San Francisco de Paula , what was part of the existing sea defensive battery in the Almeria coast, which was destroyed during the War of Independence, versus Napoleon. Built on a cliff 50 meters and a tower height of 18 meters, the flashes of light are visible 30 miles , 45 kilometers , supplemented by an audible siren that the days of thick fog is activated to alerting ships of their presence. The lighthouse was built as a warning to mariners of the presence of the dangerous Laja of the Cape , this reef located at one nautical mile into the sea off the lighthouse is causing many shipwrecks throughout history . One of most visited wreck for divers is the Czechoslovak Arna ship , which sank in 1928 when it hits the Laja Cape , and had once carried iron ore and today is haven for fish and entertainment for divers.
The Cabo de Gata lighthouse landmark spot receives thousands of visitors every year , we recommend approaching the sunset as the best time , as you can see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the Natural Park. The lighthouse is near the huge beach of Salinas and has other small coves around, making it a good choice to complete the visit with a dip in their costs.
