The Beaches of Cabo de Gata
The beaches of Cabo de Gata are simply extraordinary, and its crystalline waters and fine sand are unique. In addition, they offer multiple possibilities for walks and activities such as kayaking, diving, hiking, or even seeing the stars on a romantic night or discovering the volcanic origin of one of its coves.
Genoveses Beach, Monsul Beach, Los Muertos Beach, and El Playazo of Rodalquilar Beach are just some of its best-known beaches. The best thing is that enjoying this natural charm does not require a large budget.
In Almeria’s capital, one must know the largest citadel that the Arabs built in all of Spain. The beginning of its construction is dated in the year 955, its function being that of strength, but also that of the seat of the city government.
Inside, we find remains of the Al-Mutasin palace and other buildings such as baths and cisterns.
In a better state of conservation, we find the castle, the Homage Tower, and the Powder Tower, all within the walled enclosure.
The wall is still intact and inside one can visit admirable fountains and gardens, in addition to enjoying the unparalleled views of the entire city that Alcazaba offers.
The Cathedral of Almeria is a temple-fortress, inside of which one can visit its old parade ground located right in front of the cloister, in Renaissance style.
Erected in the 16th century, it was built as a temple that also served to face the attacks of the rebellious Moorish and the Berber pirates who regularly attacked Almeria city; thus, it has embrasures and defensive battlements and is equipped with a flat roof where cannons can be mounted. Inside, one can visit its three chapels in each nave, which are protected by the Homage Tower.
Did you know that in 1983 the Holy Week in Huercal-Overa was declared a Festival of National Interest? Well, you will discover that this choice was well made. Year after year, thousands of tourists from all over the world come together in this town of Almeria to experience the splendour of its processions, which commemorate the passion and death of Christ.
The magnitude of this commemoration is unique in the entire province of Almeria.
In addition to bringing together devotees and visitors, the events are broadcast live on the internet thanks to the cameras placed in the town. However, nothing is comparable to living this experience in person.
Visit Mojacar
Among the most attractive towns in all of Spain, Mojacar always stands out, with its old town of houses painted white and arranged in a staggered manner facing the sea and its intricate and ornate narrow streets.
It is a very touristy area that offers everything the visitor can imagine:
The wide gastronomic offering of the province, with its delicacies from the Mediterranean Sea and products from the garden of the area, allows the variety and flavour of its tapas to be practically unlimited.
Toast of mango compote and goat cheese, crunchy cheese with reduction orange and honey, grilled tuna, patatas bravas, and white garlic on grilled tenderloin are just some examples of the tapas that one can order in bars in Almeria.
The creativity of the chef in each tapas bar will put a final touch on their menus, but the truth is, on average, a drink with a cover has an approximate price of € 2.50, with special tapas between € 3 and € 4 and desserts, always recommended, also found at really cheap prices.
Discover a Hollywood-Style Desert
In Almeria, one also has the opportunity to get to know the only desert in all of Spain, the Tabernas Desert.
In fact, it is considered the only one of its kind in all of Europe. This desert is known to have been the setting for countless Western movies for Hollywood.
In this location, several Wild West villages have been installed, and live shows are held in the manner of theme parks.
