Essential Almeria Guided Tour 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 delight you irremediably . Because, as one goes deeper into its streets and learning about its history, one ends up falling at its feet.

People usually 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 cave indalo found in the Colmenas Shelter; the gigantic Geode of Pulpí, 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, the perfect location for the filming of seventies spaghetti-westerns... but little, or hardly, about Almería city.

But that is already part of the past. We want to pass on our love for Almería with a two-hour tour conducted by a qualified guide who runs through the surroundings of the old town. and the Alcazaba.
