Everything you need to know about Almeria

Almeria is part of the amazing region of Andalusia, the very region where the passionate flamenco and adrenaline-filled bullfighting were born. However, Almeria is very different from Andalusia in every respect: the landscapes are not lush but lunar, the tourism industry has not spoilt its coasts and beaches and it never gets too crowded. In addition to all these, Almeria is the Spanish province that enjoys the warmest temperatures all year round and the longest sun hours, so how can you not fall in love with it?

A short history lesson

The city of Almeria was founded by the Moors, so the influence is very strongly felt all over the city. An explanation for this strong Moorish influence could be the fact that when the Christians conquered Almeria, they had no specific ideas regarding what to change about it, so they left it as they found it. History tells us that Almeria was not a very rich province due to the lack of precipitation but it has experienced great prosperity due to increased agriculture using greenhouses.

What to do in Almeria

The city itself is not one of the most important attractions of Spain, but it deserves your attention. Try to explore it because there is sure to be something unique to discover at its corners. Very close to the city lies the Tabernas which is known to be the only real desert in Europe. The natural park Cabo de Gata is another big attraction for every tourist who loves nature and all its wonders.
