Levante Almeriense is one of the seven comarcas in the province of Almeria, Andalusia, Spain. This comarca was established in 2003 by the Government of Andalusia.[1][2] It is located in the oriental side and it was occupied since the Bronze Age, with several archeological sites like El Argar, marqués de los Vélez castle, karst en yesos de Sorbas, etc.[3]
The economy grew since the last quarter of the 20th century thanks to the traditional agriculture and the transport, and the most prominent activity was the cement factory, with the growth of the rural tourism.[4]
