Paleontological Interpretation Center
This interpretation center is commonly known as the "Whale Museum". This is due to the fossil specimen of the Pliocene whale that was found in the municipality of Viator in 1984, in Monte Palmo de Salas. Certain parts of the whale, such as the head and fins, were not found during the course of the excavation.
The exhibition space has 4 rooms in different themes, but under the basic concept "What the fossils of Almeria tell us", in addition to an audiovisual projection room.

Virgin of Carmel Hermitage
Recently built, it was inaugurated on July 15, 2009 with a more modern design, which does not correspond to the old hermitage located just next door.
This new Virgin of Carmel Hermitage has moved a few meters from its original location. The old hermitage, now closed, offered only the vision of the Virgin through a small window.
On July 15 in the evening, on the eve of Carmel's day, a popular festival is celebrated in front of the hermitage.
