About Almeria
Almeria: Desert Light and Moorish Ramparts on Spain's Southeastern Coast
Almeria sits at the foot of the Sierra Nevada foothills where the Tabernas Desert — continental Europe's only true semi-arid desert — meets the Mediterranean. The Alcazaba, an 11th-century Moorish fortress that predates Granada's Alhambra, dominates the skyline above the old medina quarter and the Paseo de Almería. The city receives more annual sunshine hours than any other provincial capital in Spain, averaging 3,000 per year.
Visitors arrive for the desert landscape, the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park (45 km of volcanic coastline with coves such as Playa de los Genoveses), and the Mini Hollywood film set in Tabernas where Sergio Leone shot The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in 1966. The Chanca fishing district and the tapas bars along Calle Trajano draw travelers looking for an Andalusian port city without the mass-tourism footprint of Málaga.
Practical Tips
- Getting there: Almería Airport (LEI) lies 9 km east of the city centre; taxi to the port district takes roughly 15 minutes.
- Getting around: The old town and Alcazaba are walkable; rent a car to reach Cabo de Gata villages such as San José.
- Climate: Summers are hot and dry (July average 30 °C); spring and autumn suit hiking in the Tabernas.
