Gulf of Almería
The Gulf of Almería is a bight of the Mediterranean Sea, in the southeastern end of the Iberian Peninsula.
It lies between Punta Sabinar and Cabo de Gata. It is shaped as a semicircle opened to the south with a protrusion in its center featuring the mouth of the Andarax river. Scholars placing ancient Urci in Pechina identify the Sinus Urcitanus cited by Pomponius Mela with the Gulf of Almería.
