Almeria
Tourist information - Almeria
The easternmost Andalusian capital dominates a littoral lined with nearly virgin beaches, and an interior marked by peculiar semideserted ecosystems. Formerly one of the most important ports in the Caliphate of Cordoba, Almeria reveals its Alcazaba (citadel) and its cathedral, on the shores of the Mediterranean. Narrow streets with whitewashed facades are elements of its picturesque historic quarter. In addition to history and culture, Almeria offers beaches, mountain and coastal nature reserves, and a gastronomy that will make this journey unforgettable.
Do not leave Almeria without first taking a stroll under the shade of the Palm trees at Nicolás Salmerón Park, which runs along the seashore. From here we will have some of the best panoramic views of the marina and the port. We can also sit outside in one of the terraces to watch people stroll by along the streets of Tenor Iribarne and Concepción Arenal, enjoying the incredible climate that this city has all year round. Another choice is to take a walk by Paseo de Almería and Real street, and gaze at the colourful facades, and the "terraos" (uninhabited top storeys), to feel the pulse of one of the most charismatic cities in Andalusia.
