It has a hot semi-arid climate. Winters are mild and summers very hot. In general, it is dry all year round.

Accommodation
- Where to live in town?
- Possibility of staying with a family?
- Possibility of sharing a flat with teachers? |
- Some teacher’s assistants decide to live in Roquetas de Mar, usually near the beach, others prefer the areas of Aguadulce or Almería, which offer a better nightlife. However, living in Aguadulce or Almería can be more inconvenient as you will be dependant on the public transport (which is far from great) or car-pooling with other teachers.
- Links to rental websites:
Many teachers’ assistants find very useful to find a flat by using websites such as the Facebook groups for assistants. Roquetas de Mar has various schools which receive teachers’ assistants. This means that different assistants might want to share a flat with other assistants of the area.
- Contact of teachers interested in sharing a flat: ask in September.
