Introduction
Almería, located in southern Spain on the Mediterranean coast, is one of Andalusia’s most charming and sunniest cities. With over 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, it’s known for its golden beaches, desert landscapes, and rich history that blends Moorish, medieval, and modern influences.
Dominated by the Alcazaba, a grand Moorish fortress overlooking the sea, Almería offers a perfect mix of culture, gastronomy, and relaxation. Its nearby natural park — Cabo de Gata-Níjar — is a paradise of volcanic cliffs, crystal-clear coves, and untouched beaches.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY: Essential numbers to save In case of emergency in Spain, remember: 112 – European emergency number (ambulance, fire brigade, police). Free from any phone.
