The easternmost Andalusian capital dominates a coastline dotted with almost virgin beaches and an interior marked by peculiar semideserted ecosystems. Formerly one of the most important ports in the Caliphate of Cordoba, Almeria reveals its Alcazaba (citadel) and its cathedral, on the shores of the Mediterranean. Narrow streets with whitewashed facades are elements of its picturesque historic quarter. In addition to history and culture, Almeria offers beaches, mountain and coastal nature reserves and a gastronomy that will make this journey unforgettable.
Not far from Almeria, you can enjoy excellent beaches and nature trails at the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Nature Reserve, the first marine-land reserve in Andalusia. Sierra Nevada Nature Reserve is not much further away.
And finally, you must try the heavenly delicacies of the cuisine of Almeria. The city’s major crop is grapes, although you will also be able to try “ajo colorao” (a stew with potatoes, red bell peppers, egg, sausages, cod, garlic and olive oil), breca a la uva (Pandora fish with grapes), rape a la barraca (monkfish with leek and mushrooms), etc. Worthy of special mention is the seafood from Garucha and the sponge cake with dates.
