Guided Tour Almeria Essential 2h

Almería capital is the great unknown, one of the most unexplored cities in all of Andalusia and, against all odds, one that will surely dazzle you irremediably. . Because, as you enter its streets and learn about its history, you end up falling at its feet.

People often talk about the coastal area of the province, and rightly so, with the paradisiacal beaches of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park; of the idyllic holidays in Mojácar; of the rock indalo found in the Abrigo de las Colmenas; of the gigantic Pulpí Geode, one of the largest on our planet; of the Tabernas Desert, a place that gave shelter to the legendary singer Joe Strummer, leader of The Clash, a perfect location for filming seventies spaghetti-westerns... but little, or barely, about Almería the city.

But that is now part of the past. We want to spread our love for Almería with a two-hour tour conducted by a qualified guide that tours the surroundings of the historic center and the Alcazaba. There are no age restrictions to take the tour, in fact, children under 12 years old can come free. There is also no minimum number of people stipulated. The scheduled time to start the activity is at 5:30 pm on weekends and holidays in Almería.

First, we will get to know some of the monuments and sculptures that are concentrated around the historic center up close: the Puerta de Purchena, the Civil War Shelters strong>, the Church of Santiago, the Town Hall Square, the Monumental Complex of the Alcazaba, etc. In between, take out your notebook, your cell phone, or keep it in your memory, because we will reveal to you some of the best places to eat. After the tour you will naturally be hungry.

Other points of interest that we will show you are the "itinerant" bronze statue of John Lennon; Las Tiendas Street, of Arab origin, which receives its name from the establishments it houses; the Plaza Ramón de Campoamor, with the iconic padlocks that couples place on Valentine's Day as a sign of their love; theCathedral of the Incarnation, with its characteristic fortress structure; the legend behind the famous Libro Gordo de Petete; the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Sea, temple of the Dominicans; the Almería Walk of Fame that pays tribute tothe most prominent actors, actresses and filmmakers who have worked in the province; and many more surprises.

Our aspiration is for you to see Almería from a different perspective, that of a millennial city. Come, we make room for you.
