Levante is the eastern coastal region of the Iberian Peninsula. This area includes the Valencian Community (Valencia, Castellón and Alicante provinces), as well as Murcia to the south together with almeria.The Levante, or Lievant in Valencian is a name used to refer to the eastern region of the Iberian Peninsula on the Mediterranean coast. There is no modern geopolitical definition of Levante although broadly the term covers the regions of Valencia, Murcia, Catalonia, Almeria, the eastern part Castile – La Mancha (Albacete, Cuenca, Granada and the southern part of Aragon.
Among inhabitants of the so-called Levante, the term is rarely used. Its literal meaning would be “the east,” and thus makes sense only from the perspective of those who live to the west of the Valencian Community.
Our region of the Levante “the east” is the province of Almeria which boarders the provinces of Murcia
and Granada. Here you will find un-spoilt beaches, traditional Spanish towns, arid deserts, green national parks and breath taking beauty. Almeria offers more the 320 days of sun and the temperatures exceeds 18c annually and is one of Spain’s last refuges of un-spoilt coastline.
