Retamar and El Toyo are two urbanizations belonging to the municipality of Almería located 13 km away from the capital. Both have a total of 6700 inhabitants. Its urban planning is based on residential areas of villas, duplexes and low-rise apartments, combined with an urban layout with large green areas, making these urbanizations into an urban reference that crosses the borders of our province. It is characterized by being an area with low population density. However, currently its population has increased greatly, being currently the core of the municipality of Almeria that has grown the most. Tourism in this area has also taken off notably in recent years, especially during the summer season.
Retamar emerged in the sixties, with the inauguration of the hotel "Alborán Golf", now disappeared. However, it was not until 2004 when it grew and developed as a large residential area. The main attractions of Retamar are its beach and its 600m long promenade. In Retamar there is also the virgin beach of Torregarcía, where there is the hermitage dedicated to the Virgen del Mar, patron of Almería. Also the ancient tower that gives its name to the beach. Not far away there is an archaeological site where a salting factory belonging to the Roman era was found.
Retamar runs parallel to the Rambla del Agua. In Retamar-center the church is located, one of the main points of interest of the neighbourhood.
El Toyo was born in 2005 on the occasion of housing the facilities of the Olympic village of the Mediterranean Games of Almeria. El Toyo has large garden areas and urbanizations. In the Toyo is the Plaza del Mar, where there is a large artificial lagoon near the promenade. It is surrounded by shops and restaurants. This area enjoys a great atmosphere during the summer months, becoming an important tourist and recreation area.
In El Toyo there are also four four-star hotels, an 18-hole golf course, a high-resolution hospital, a congress center and local television facilities, Interalmería. There is also a project to expand west of this urbanization.
Retamar and El Toyo Golf Courses are very close to the Almeria Airport and at the gates of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park.
