About Almeria Costa De Almeria

Almería rises between Mediterranean beaches and the Tabernas Desert, a coastal Spanish city shaped by the Alcazaba, dry landscapes and Andalusian food traditions.

Relaxed streets lead through the historic center, where the Alcazaba of Almería overlooks whitewashed neighborhoods and the fortified Almería Cathedral. Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park brings volcanic coves and open coastal scenery, while Oasys MiniHollywood recreates the cinematic landscape of Tabernas.

Tapas bars serve Gambas Rojas, Migas and Chérigan alongside local drinks. July and August are the liveliest months for beach time, with Playa de los Muertos among the area’s notable shores.
