Almeria, the easternmost of the provincial capitals of Andalusia, features a coastline of almost virgin beaches and an interior characterised by unique semi-desert ecosystems.
What was once one of the main ports of the Caliphate of Córdoba, plays home to a magnificent Alcazaba fortification and cathedral, all on the shores of the Mediterranean.
Narrow streets with traditional whitewashed façades are a hallmark of its old quarter.
In addition to history and culture, Almeria offers beaches, nature reserves (both high mountain and coastal) and fine gastronomy, all of which make for a truly unforgettable experience.
