Quaint Almeria

Almería has centuries of history and it will surely be evident on the structures that you will see around. One good image is the Arab citadel that watches over the entire city. Almeria’s history is not just contributed by the Moorish occupation. This place also holds numerous archaeological indications of the various ancient cultures, including the Tartessos , Phoenicians , Romans, and Visigoths, who were drawn here by the natural beauty and useful maritime geographic location even before the Arabs came.

In 1522, Almeria was distressed by a seismic activity. Reconstruction and recovery did not arrive in Almeria’s favor until the 19th century.

With its interesting medieval architecture, Almeria’s old town is a delight to stroll through with its tranquil squares, archways and colonnades. The city also has a fascinating archaeological museum and unique cave dwellings in the hillside above the old gypsy quarter.

WEATHER

This is mainland Europe’s warmest and sunniest region, with over 3000 hours of sunshine a year. Until recently Almeria was less accessible than some other Spanish destinations, a fact which has undoubtedly helped to shield it from the excess of tourism and let it to become the unspoiled, peaceful place it is today.
