Location & what to see

Hostal del Cabo is at Calle las Olas, 9, in San José, a coastal town in the municipality of Níjar and part of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park. Playa de San José is 50 m away; the town combines a seafront promenade, local services and access to various coves. For a nearby swim, the town beach is the closest option. Cala Higuera is 920 m away and Playa de La Calilla is 980 m away, two options for exploring other stretches of coastline. El Fondeadero de San José, 750 m away, is another nearby maritime landmark.

Among the beaches along this stretch of coast, Playa de los Genoveses is 2 km away, Cala del Ave María is 2.1 km away, and Cala Tomate is 2.2 km away.

San José and its surroundings offer opportunities for hiking and cycling, as well as a chance to alternate time on the coast with visits to the park.
