Mini Guide to Almeria - Spain

The scene of many a spaghetti western during the 1960s, the city of Almeria was favoured by Italian film makers for its rugged, dusty landscape.Almeria is the capital of the Spanish region of Almeria on the Eastern coast near to Andalucia. The movie ‘A Fistful of Dollars’ was made in a part of Almeria known as the badlands, while Europe’s only desert region also welcomed the film crew which shot ‘Lawrence of Arabia’.

Although the region has been one of the largest agricultural producers in Spain, Almeria is now increasingly welcoming tourists to its beaches which lie on the Mediterranean sea. To welcome the new influx, tourist resorts have been formed in the east and the south coasts at Almerimar and Aguadulce, to name but two.

Those tourists can almost always expect fine weather as Almeria is one of the driest parts of Europe and has over on average 330 days of sunshine per year on average. Almeria is a region of contrasts and home to a natural park, the Cabo de Gata-Nijar, which is of volcanic origin. There is also a mesmerizing crystal cave in the area but unfortunately that has been blocked off to prevent looters getting to it. 

The commercial centre and fishing port of Almeria has been occupied by many different people throughout history because of its good location and Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans and Christians all lived there.
It is a microcosm of how old Spain is becoming new Spain, and modern architecture sits side by side with ancient relics such as the Moorish castle Alcazaba which was built to watch over Almeria’s inhabitants.
Alcazaba is one of Europe’s architectural marvels and the former fortress, which is now filled with beautiful gardens, overlooks the town and the sea.

Like Barcelona, walking in Almeria centres on La Rambla, a long avenue which is flanked by shops, bars and restaurants of every description. It is also a great place to take small children as there are a number of play areas there. To get around buses can be caught from a road which has been named after Spain’s greatest poet, the Avendia Frederico Garcia Lora and there is a daily ferry to Melilla, a Spanish region which lies on the coast of Morocco.

But to really see all the historic sights that Almeria has to offer, car hire is recommended. These include the cathedral of Almeria, the Cervantes theatre, the church of Santiago and the Diocesan museum nearby which has an extensive collection of rare, old artworks.
