Almeria, Spain skyline: the 22 most iconic buildings and best views in Almeria

We spent a few enjoyable hours exploring this historic site, and it was definitely worth it! One of the best parts is being able to walk up the towers and take in stunning panoramic views over Almería. As EU citizens, we got in for free, which was a great bonus. Non-EU visitors pay a small entry fee of €1.50, which is still excellent value. Just a heads-up: check the opening times before you go, especially in summer. The Alcazaba typically closes in the afternoon and reopens around 7 pm, so timing your visit makes all the difference!

This Alcazaba is really beautiful. I was shocked that it was free to enter. Lovely place to walk around even if the hill to get there is a bit steep! Definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area. Gives you a wonderful view of the town, port and sea.

A must see place when in Almeria. It is a little bit like Alhambra in Granada, but smaller. However, we only visited part.of it, not where the terraced garden is; therefore, potentially it's much more than what we saw. It was free to enter where we went and visiting earlier in the day is worth it to beat the crowd. It's popular with tour groups. Great view of the city from the top. There are areas where excavation had taken place to study its history.

Beautiful place to visit while in Almería, surprisingly large fortress, easy walk but no for wheelchair users. Only accessible by stairs. Very nice area to see all Almería and the docks. Quite interesting story and a nice place to wonder around and take nice photos. Free entry!

The Conjunto Monumental de la Alcazaba in Almería is absolutely worth visiting and a true highlight of the city. This monumental complex offers a fascinating journey through centuries of history, from Moorish fortifications to Christian influences. The grounds are extensive, with well-preserved walls, beautiful gardens, and plenty of architectural details to admire. One of the best parts is that entry is free, which makes it accessible to everyone and a perfect choice for a leisurely afternoon. A visit here is not just about history – it’s also about the experience of walking through wide open spaces, taking in breathtaking panoramic views of Almería, the coastline, and even the surrounding mountains. It’s a place where you can take your time, enjoy a peaceful walk, and let your imagination travel back to times when the Alcazaba was a powerful stronghold. However, there are a couple of practical things to be aware of. Parking near the Alcazaba can be challenging, and the area directly behind the castle doesn’t give the best impression. There’s some visible criminal activity, a fair amount of litter, and groups of young people hanging around, which can feel a bit uncomfortable at times. That said, these issues are outside the main complex and do not take away from the beauty and historical importance of the Alcazaba itself. Overall, if you’re visiting Almería, the Alcazaba is a must-see. It combines history, culture, stunning views, and free entry – a perfect combination for anyone interested in exploring the city’s heritage.

We had free entry on the day, not sure why. The guy asked us where we are from and let us in for free 😊 Really interesting to visit. We relaxed there walking around for about 1.5h.

Great views of Almería and an interesting site. Most of the informational packages are in Spanish. A few have English translations. You can also download a guide in a variety of languages. It was hot at the end of August and there are lots of stairs to climb! Bring water!

Absolutely beautiful cathedral made of huge and imposing stone. It’s €7 to enter the Cathedral each and €10 to also see the monastery. There is a large range of religious art and statues inside the building. High vaulted ceilings and shrines everywhere you look. I find it interesting to be in such an opulent place that is littered with donation boxes - never fails to amuse me. The atmosphere is also quite somber and quiet in my opinion - a certain eerie quality when a huge church is so silent and dark.

Beautiful cathedral in the heart of Almería . The Cathedral is free during mass and usually on Sundays . Beautiful experience . You can feel the Holy Spirit all around .

Beautiful and unique cathedral right in the heart of Almería. Its fortress-like design makes it stand out, and the mix of Gothic and Renaissance architecture is really impressive. Peaceful inside, with some lovely details and a quiet courtyard. Definitely worth a visit if you’re exploring the city!

One of Almerías places of interest/heritage sites. Amazing, very old and quiet Christian cathedral Very highly recommended 👍

I recently passed by the Cathedral Encarnación de Almería, and even though I didn't have time to go inside, I was truly impressed by its exterior. The cathedral looked stunning, especially with the beautiful decorations around it. The architecture is striking, and the intricate details are captivating. I’m looking forward to visiting again soon to explore the interior and capture some photos. Definitely a must-see landmark in Almería!

This cathedral is really beautiful. The difference between the exterior and interior is striking. Definitely recommend a quick visit if you are in the area. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

An interesting fort-church. The audio guide in English was pretty sub-standard.

A view of Almería from a very different perspective, so definitely worth a visit, especially as it's only a 3€ entry. Book tickets in advance, since the capacity per timeslot is limited. The roughly 1 hour tour is given in Spanish (which I could follow), and a short summary in English was given at the end. For other tourists it might be better if there was one designated English tour, since the summary might feel a bit short to some.

We enjoyed our visit to the tunnels. A fascinating historical tour that details what various persons went through during the wars and how the persons hid underground. Make sure you book tickets in advance though we managed to get tickets on the day within a few minutes of the start of the tour. Add this to your list when visiting Almeria.

The tunnels are really interesting but you need to visit with a tour and the tour availability and booking seems very confusing and complicated? Also no English tours? We were very lucky to be at the door when a guide was looking for more people for a tour. It was mostly in Spanish but Amelio was great to summarise information in English for us.

If your in Almería town definately check out this very interesting historic tour. We had a great guide, some good stories and interesting facts. I would definately this 1.5 hour tour that covers about 1km of tunes.

Quite the unique experience. Yes, the tour is in Spanish (there are some English information boards and subtitles) but that’s fine... it’s still something you’ll not experience anywhere else! A trip 90m below the city... through remarkable tunnels that still have the ambience of safety and fear combined. And don’t expect to end up where you started! €3 currently, pre-booked tours. Worth every cent!!

Great place to visit. Easy to park nearby in underground parking. Cheap entrance at €3 and there is a lift for people who can't do the stairs. About one hour tour in Spanish.

Very different to you normally see as a tourist, not much English spoken though, which is a shame..up to 30,000 people hid in this 2 kilometres of underground air raid shelters, it was attached to the market, and could store foodstuffs, there was also a small hospital and a school....there is a lift / elevator, both ways ( up and down) but you will need to ask! 2019 it cost 2 euros....

My local museum or gallery, Im just over the road.. and this gallery has some very good interesting exhibitions by well known artists here and is well laid out. At night photos of the current exhibition are projected onto the walls outside which is a nice touch. Note.. as of Jan 2025.. currently broken. Get it mended please!

Lee Miller (f) photographic (B+W) exhibition May 2024. The upstairs space is a wonderful experience and most enjoyable to see the life's work of a brilliant surrealist photographer. A meeting with Picasso, one of the highlights and obviously influenced her work. FREE ENTRY

Wow - what an exhibition! We visited when a major show was on from the Chair of Magnum photographic group. What a delight to experience the slice of style - arranged in various themes. Warm welcome from the receptionist and sale of catalogue from the museum worker - would love to go back.

I wanted to visit this museum. The first time I went there it was closed, because it is always closed on mondays. So I went back another day. But when I want to enter, I was told it was closed whole week because of a exposition change. Why doesn't this museum inform his public about this? At the website and on the info near the door it is said that the museum is open. Why does this museum close totally when an exhibition is changed? I am very disappointed about this arrogant behavior. This is not the way to threat your visitors.

you can feel 60'ties in Spain ... plus free entrance - great idea !

I caught a nice exhibition by some fabulous women photographers. I particularly liked the work of Maryam Firuzi (beautiful, thoughtful compositions that clearly took a lot of work) and Ana Elisa Sotelo's wonderful swimming shots (I shoot sports so really admire the skill and serendipity in the shots). Definitely pay the gallery a visit if you have any affinity for photography, art, or even if you just want to spend an hour looking at some nice photos. 🙂

Andalusian Photography Centre- Exhibitions of Spanish photographers in a building in Almeria city centre

This was where back in the day the carts with minerals etc. were pushed to be unloaded onto ships. The view from here is great, but on some days it gets really windy up here!

A walk on the bridge was so special knowing it was historic carriage for the ships.

I've been at the marina Club de Mar Almería, just in the corner at the entrance of the marina for 4 days. It's a very nice view of El Cable Inglés.

Don't know why we weren't allowed to eat and drink on the structure. No signs and no sense. This is a railroad construction without a roof! Wind and weather takes a higher toll on this than my bottle of water...

A nice sight to see. You have a beautiful view on Almeria and the sea.

Nice view from Almeria and sea

A lovely walk with amazing views. Also suitable for wheelchair users .

Ever felt the thrill of unearthing a civilization’s secrets? Museo de Almería pulls you into a journey through time, from prehistoric treasures to Islamic artifacts, all housed in a sleek, modern space. Each exhibit feels like a conversation with the past, vibrant and alive. Did you know the museum showcases Europe’s oldest known loom weights, dating back over 4,000 years to the Los Millares culture? This isn’t just a museum it’s a portal to Almería’s ancient soul. A must for history lovers!

Went here with my family (ages from 6 to 40 yo) and we all loved it! It was a lot of very accessible (and free!) knowledge about the history of the area. It has something I've never seen before, which is a visual and physical representation of the soil strates that show the history of the soil of the region, with all the societies that inhabited it. Generally, every single exposition was very well explained and accessible to learn and understand for everyone! Definitely recommend it.

A very interesting and modern Museum. It shows four eras, beginning from the bronze age to the muslim era in the late middle ages. The entry is free.

We'd seen most other suggested Almeria Old Town attractions and still had some time to kill. Saw the Museo de Almeria was open, so thought, "Why not." So glad we did. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The museum itself is a very well laid out archaeological history of the area. We easily spent over an hour there. As a quality free activity, I'd say this is on the Almerian must see list.

This museum is really interesting. Very open and clean. Indications are top. Toilets are clean. Very good that you can leave your luggage in a locker for 1 euro, you get it back after opening the locker. There are 3 departments of many cool artifacts and history. We prefer the oldest one. The 3rd floor is the Arabic culture. There are also a lot of little videos how they maked grane and other things. It was free when we were there.

Very good museum! The amount of exhibits is not great but it spans from Paleolithic era to middle ages. Very interesting and unique exhibits!

Wow! The most imaginatively presented archeological museum I've ever visited (and there're been many!) The archeological layers are represented like a core-sample up the central stair-well with chronological finds shown as you go up the flights. Very moving reconstruction of the interior of a burial dolmen. Signage in Spanish and English. Ask at the reception desk if you want to buy the excellent guide book (available in 3 languages) - they're not on display! Very helpful staff.

This is a nice little museum if you are really into movies or John Lennon. It's more of a landmark for the Almeria film industry. When we were there, there was a guided tour in spanish. Some videos and inscriptions are in english. The people working there do not speak english but were very nice. The recptionist played the videos in english for us. There is an elevator in the back if you need it to reach the upper floor.

A small but curious place to visit and explore some of the objects, pictures and memorabilia from the production of Indiana Jones and John Lennon's visit to Almería.

Different to what I expected, as quite new and almost a replica of what once was, however very informative and a wonderful reception. Worth a vist and a wander, the hologram introduction was wonderful

Overrated in my opinion. There are some interesting posters and stories about who stayed in the house. I've now been in a bathroom used by John Lennon. But there just isn't that much here and certainly not enough to justify venturing out from the center. At least admission was free. It would not have been worth the 3 Euros some have paid.

John Lennon fans should visit Need to go by car. Check opening times before visiting Explains the film locations in Almeria uaed over the last 40 years

What a lovely place! Staff very pleasant. Lots of Indiana Jones stuff on display today. Easy to get to by bus from the beach area, and we enjoyed a slow walk back.

Nice place to discover a part of artistic life of John Lennon, and on the lower floor, nice pictures and an interesting documentary about Almeria and its movies sets history. Worth a visit, but take a bus from downtown to get there, and take the opening times from Google maps!

Great views of the nearby fortress and the city. Those stairs will be beautiful after the flowers and trees have grown.

Offers a fantastic view over Almería. The area has been cleaned up a lot compared to a few years ago, making it a much more enjoyable spot to visit. There are several ways to reach the top — if you have a car, it’s likely the easiest option, as there are a few parking spots nearby. Otherwise, you can walk up, but be prepared for some long staircases. In the summer heat, the climb can be quite intense, so bring water and plan accordingly.

Has an amazing view of the city. There is some reconstruction around the area, which is good because at least they are noticing the poor state of the mountain. But this made it difficult to find the way up, as there were no signs to follow. There was a lot of garbage on the way up but also around the site.

Lovely views from here across the city and on to tjr sea beyond.

One of Almerías places of interest/heritage sites. Highly recommended 👍

I have to leave just two stars for this place as it’s pretty dreadful. The statue and view is lovely if you can cope with the heavily littered and dangerously dirty street to get there. Then the site is obviously used as a drinking den for the local down-and-outs. Oh dear. Go to the Alcazaba instead and look over from a distance, at least then you won’t have to put up with the smell either.

Worth a visit just for the views. No parking at the view point but plenty leading up to the view point. Some information boards and no picnic area.

Poor to say the least.

(Translated by Google) We were at an event where they were holding a bullfight with young bulls from a school. The bullring is in pretty bad shape, including the stands and everything else. Not to mention the incredibly hot weather, which is understandable, but we'd better use some fans or something because it was deadly. (Original) Estuvimos en un evento que hacían corrida de toros con novillos de una escuela. La plaza está bastante deteriorada lo que son gradas y demás. Por no hablar del calor que se pasa que es comprensible pero unos ventiladores o algo porque fue mortal.

(Translated by Google) On Saturday, we were at Camilo's concert in the stands. I've never been in such a cramped and uncomfortable seat. It wasn't just my opinion; everyone there shared it. You can't even fit your feet in because the space between the seats is so narrow. It's a shame to leave with that feeling, despite the artist's excellent performance. (Original) El sábado estuvimos en el concierto de Camilo en las Gradas. Nunca he estado en un asiento tan estrecho e incómodo. No solamente era mi opinión, lo hablamos todo el mundo que estaba allí. Ni siquiera caben los pies de lo estrecho que es el espacio entre los asientos. Una pena irnos con esa sensación con la buena actuación del artista.

(Translated by Google) Let's see the bullring is fine, but now the service that opens the doors and organizes... Terrible lack of empathy with people, rude people. I don't understand how they provide such terrible service. It's a shame people stop coming... (Original) A ver la plaza de toros bien, ahora el servicio que atiende para abrir las puertas, y organizar.... Fatal falta de empatía con las personas, personas groseras.

Nice cathedral. The body is mostly Gothic style, with some elements of renaissance. The main altar and most of the interior is renaissance. The side chapels mostly early baroque, in the front renaissance. Nice visit, but.....it would be nice to have a paper guide with blueprint, general construction history and the information for all stations. The audio guide is super slow. It's just tiring. With a paper guide, I could get through it much faster. Also station 4 should mention something about the altar to the back of the choir (being in the very back of the church looking to the front). This is missing.

(Translated by Google) I bought tickets from there, but we couldn't see the museum, because even though people with disabilities have discounts, it is not adapted for wheelchairs or people with physical disabilities. (Original) Compré subenirs de allí, pero no pudimos ver el museo, porque a pesar de que las personas con discapacidad tienen descuentos, no está adaptado para sillas de ruedas o personas con discapacidad física.

(Translated by Google) This station is a magnificent building with typical architecture from the industrial era in the 1890s. Its glass and steel facade and its contrasts in red bricks and enameled bricks make it an architectural masterpiece worth visiting absolutely if you go to Almeria. (Original) Cette gare est un magnifique bâtiment à l'architecture typique de l'ère industrielle dans les années 1890.

(Translated by Google) Good (Original) Buenosimo

(Translated by Google) It is a very nice station. (Original) Es muy bonita estación .

The station’s under renovation, so I’ll try to be fair. But at the moment? It’s hot. Really hot. There’s little to no shade outside, and barely a whisper of air conditioning inside. You can feel the promise of future improvement… somewhere beneath the sweat. Let’s hope the upgrades include more airflow and fewer heat-induced hallucinations. Until then, bring water, patience, and maybe a portable fan.

Very clean place. The lady works in the adif speaks very good English and she is very friendly. Try to help everyone with every questions some not even related to the bus departure. She told me where can I find restaurant, etc, open on Sunday. Thank you very much, dear lady.

Clean toilets, buses leaving at right schedule, security is there all the time, so is safe. You can find tickets vending machines

Clean and efficient. Probably the most integrated train/bus station I've ever seen (literally right next to each other). We had to take our bikes from Almeria to Jaen and the driver was ok with us just chucking them on, no disassembly at all!

Used in a spaghetti western. Fistful of dynamite.

There is only 1 person to do ticket machine and direct you to the stop you need. Can be very busy!

A very original and pretty station, with eye-catching architecture.

If you like acoustic guitars then you will find this place interesting. Guitars from the earliest to the latest and how they are constructed over two floors with a lift if needed. Free entry so definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful building and good place to escape the heat. There are not many guitars to look at. Lots of reading material on the walls. The kids zone was closed at the time we visited and it was free entry - possibly due to the kids zone closure. I personally get more satisfaction out of visiting a UK music shop. Beautiful building that needs more internal investment.

kids love it. was very interesting and educational. and for free.

go to a music museum where the goal is to immerse yourself in the sound of the guitar but while remaining immersed in silence because there is no working audio, that is to say no radio, no voices, impossible to listen to the different pieces of guitarists or the sounds of the different types of guitar. closed immersive space, closed second floor, closed audition room, in fact it is a museum that should be closed but no it remains open to waste the time of customers who will pay the full price just to be able to admire the oldest guitar and it’s over!

Ever wondered what secrets a single guitar string can hold? The Museo de la Guitarra in Almería is a hidden gem that unravels the soul of Spanish music! From the intricate craftsmanship of historic guitars to the vibrant stories of flamenco legends, this museum is a must-visit. The interactive exhibits and live demonstrations will leave you humming Spanish melodies all day. Don’t miss the chance to feel the heartbeat of Almería’s musical heritage!

A small but wonderful musem. It is dedicated to Antonio Torres, spanish 19th century guitar maker from Almería that created the modern guitar. There are a lot of cool historic electric guitars with great stories. One can see the ways how the wooden guitars are made, also the historic story about the development of the guitar. Even though it is a small museum I found it really interestingg because of a lot of interactive content and reproductions. If one loves wood and guitars, a must see in Almería .

Small interesting museum. Reflects the importance of a local guitar maker who influenced the world. Visit takes about 30-40 minutes. Very close to the Cathedral.

Small but interesting visit. Street signage very confusing for "Moorish Cistern" plus Google maps labelled as "Aljibes Arabes".

(Translated by Google) We saw an informative ceramic sign on the door that said “Source of the Arab Cisterns. This 11th century fountain was attached to the wall of the Jairan Cisterns and was one of the most important in medieval Almería. The supply was carried out by means of a mortar-walled tarjea, from the Alhadra fountains to the Puerta de Pechina, current Puerta Purchena.” The curious thing is that when you enter you realize that it is currently a place where flamenco shows and other events are held. A disappointment that we suffered. (Original) Vimos un rotulo-cerámico informativo en la puerta que decía “Fuente de los Aljibes Árabes. Esta fuente del S.XI, estaba adosada al muro de los Aljibes de Jairán y era uno, de los más importantes de la Almería medieval. El suministro se realizaba mediante una tarjea de paredes de mortero, desde las fuentes de Alhadra hasta la Puerta de Pechina, actual Puerta Purchena”. Lo curioso es que al entrar te das cuenta de que actualmente es un lugar donde se celebran espectáculos de flamenco y otros eventos. Un chasco que nos llevamos.

(Translated by Google) We were very disappointed to visit this site. It is a basement converted into a flamenco tablao. Nothing to do with cisterns, in fact there is nothing from the time. The site is used for something else. They should change the name because it has nothing to do with cisterns. We expect something minimal from the time, but nothing. (Original) Nos llevamos un gran chasco a visitar este sitio. Es un sótano convertido en un tablao flamenco. Nada que ver con unos aljibes, de hecho no hay nada de la época. El sitio se usa para otra cosa. Deberían cambiarle el nombre porque nada tiene que ver con unos Aljibes. Esperamos algo mínimo de la época, pero nada.

(Translated by Google) An old cistern converted into a small flamenco tablao. Free to enter, it's worth the trip. (Original) Antiguo aljibe reconvertido en pequeña sala de tablao flamenco. Gratuito, vale la pena entrar.

(Translated by Google) I was expecting to see something else, like the history of Moorish architecture or something about the history of Spain, but instead I found an informative site about the history of flamenco dancing. I'm not saying it's bad, but it shouldn't be called "Aljibes" (Cisterns); it should be called something else because it doesn't tell you anything about the facility itself, and it's also very small; it's not worth coming. (Original) Me esperaba ver otra cosa como la historia de la arquitectura árabe o algo de la historia de España, pero me encuentro con un sitio informativo de la historia del baile flamenco. No digo que esté mal, pero no se debería de llamar "Aljibes", se debería de llamar de otra forma porque no cuenta nada de la propia instalación y además es muy pequeño, no merece la pena venir.

(Translated by Google) Unpresentable. They theoretically open on Friday afternoons at 5:00 p.m. At 5:30 p.m., tired of waiting and not being opened, we left. (Original) Impresentables. Los viernes por la tarde abren teóricamente a las 17 h. A las 17,30 h, cansados de esperar y que no abrieran nos fuimos.

(Translated by Google) Yesterday, May 24, a blank night, my daughter went with some friends to see the cisterns and the guard at the door told them that they were closed, despite the doors being open, however they waited at the door and they let an older lady enter. Is this normal, not letting young people pass or are they exceptions? I am very disappointed because if there are people interested in culture, they clip their wings. (Original) Ayer día 24 de mayo, noche en blanco, fue mi hija con unas amigas a ver los aljibes y el guarda que estaba en la puerta les dijo que estaban cerrados, a pesar de estar las puertas abiertas, sin embargo esperaron en la puerta y a una señora mayor si la dejaron entrar. ¿Esto es lo normal, no dejar pasar a la gente joven o son excepciones?. Estoy muy decepcionada ya que si hay gente interesada por la cultura les cortan las alas.

(Translated by Google) We arrived at the new station and when we left I discovered this beautiful building in front of the parking lot. It is the Old Almería Railway Station whose construction dates back to 1893. It is an architecture of iron and glass. I was only able to look out because it was closed, although I took a walk along a walkway to see the back. I suppose it was set up for exhibitions. A shame it remains closed. (Original) Llegamos a la estación nueva y al salir descubrí este bello edificio frente al parking. es la Antigua Estación de Ferrocarril de Almería cuya construcción data del año 1893. Es una arquitectura de hierro y cristal. Solo pude asomarme porque estaba cerrada, aunque me di una vuelta por una pasarela para ver la parte posterior. Supongo que se habilitara para exposiciones. Una lástima que permanezca cerrada.

(Translated by Google) Located at km. 250 of the Guadix - Almeria line was designed by the architect Laurent Farge and built between 1880 and 1895 to provide an outlet for the mineral that was extracted in the interior of the province with the idea of ​​continuing the line towards Malaga, but it never materialized and only reached as far as the sea (English Cable). It was renovated in 1970 after the damage suffered during the Civil War and in 2017 it was rehabilitated, waiting to be declared an Asset of Cultural Interest (file started in 1985) to be able to give it public use and be open for tourist visits. It stopped functioning as a station in 2000 when the Intermodal was inaugurated, which is on the left, contrasting with its white color and modernist design. The color of its brick, iron and glass façade stands out, presenting similarities with Madrid's Las Delicias station. It's a shame that the huge building built behind breaks the aesthetics. (Original) Ubicada en el km. 250 de la linea Guadix - Almeria fue diseñada por el arquitecto Laurent Farge y construida entre 1880 y 1895 para dar salida al mineral que se extraia en el interior de la provincia con idea de continuar la línea hacia Málaga pero nunca se materializó y solo llegó hasta el mar (Cable Ingles). Fue reformada en 1970 tras los daños sufridos durante la Guerra Civil y en 2017 se rehabilitó estando a la espera de ser declara Bien de Interés Cultural (expediente iniciado en 1985) para poder darle un uso público y ser abierta para visitas turísticas. Dejó de funcionar como estación en el año 2000 al insugurarse la Intermodal que se encuentra a su izquierda contrastando por su color blanco y diseño modernista. Resalta el colorido de su fachada en ladrillo, hierro y cristal, presentando similitudes con la madrileña estación de Las Delicias. Lástima que el enorme edificio construido detrás rompa la estetica.

Such a beautiful building and the art collection is precious and the hosts very friendly!

A nice little art gallery to visit if you have an hour to spare in Almería. The staff were very friendly and the artwork was interesting to look at.

Very small but nice museum and it’s free!

Beautiful old building is worth seeing. The art is questionable at best

Really nice small art museum. Well worth a visit.

Modest art exhibition. Definitely not a must see place, but being free, a recommended visit.

Interesting art work, beautiful building and amazing marble floors. Very tranquil.

Nicee

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful church with a beautiful central altar and a fresco painted above it. If you are wandering around the city, visit the church, which is beautiful. (Original) É uma igreja bonita com um altar central bem bonito e por cima tem um fresco pintado. Se estiver a deambular pela cidade visite a igreja que é bonita.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church of neoclassical architecture in Almería, the church was built at the end of the 18th century, on the ruins of the San Francisco convent from the 16th century. The High Altar previously had Saint Francis, and now it has Saint Peter. The church preserves an old chapel from the 17th century, the only structure that has been recovered from the old convent. The main façade has a portico between two twin towers. We visited its interior, contemplating it and took photos. (Original) Bonita iglesia de la arquitectura neoclásica de Almería, la iglesia fue construida a finales del S.XVIII, sobre las ruinas del convento de San Francisco del S. XVI. El Altar Mayor tenía antes a San Francisco, y ahora se encuentra San Pedro. La iglesia conserva una antigua capilla del siglo XVII, la única estructura que se ha podido recuperar del convento antiguo. La fachada principal presenta un pórtico entre dos torres gemelas. Visitamos su interior contemplando la misma e hicimos fotos.

(Translated by Google) The church of San Pedro stands out for its façade with a central body between setback towers, which produces the protrusion of the portico, very close to the purest neoclassical buildings. In it we appreciate other characteristics of this style, such as the concern for proportions, the columns that support the capital, even the combination of stonework and brick. Inside there are three naves that have five pairs of chapels on the sides. It has some frescoes by Fray Juan García in the dome of the main altar. The church was originally erected on the site of an old mosque - the Catholic Monarchs had ordered its construction in 1494. But it was destroyed in 1790 by an earthquake and rebuilt in 1796 in a neoclassical style. (Original) De la iglesia de San Pedro destaca su fachada con un cuerpo central entre torres retranqueadas, lo que produce el resalto del pórtico, muy próximo a los más puros edificios neoclásicos. En ella apreciamos otras características propias de este estilo, como la preocupación por las proporciones, las columnas que soportan el capitel, incluso la combinación de cantería y ladrillo. En su interior hay tres naves que cuentan con cinco pares de capillas a los lados. Cuenta en la cúpula del altar mayor con unos frescos de Fray Juan García. La iglesia fue originalmente erigida en el emplazamiento de una antigua mezquita - los Reyes Católicos habían ordenado su construcción en 1494. Pero fue destruida en 1790 por un terremoto y reconstruida en el 1796 en estilo neoclásico.

(Translated by Google) The façade is beautiful, but the surroundings are very abandoned and gives the impression of little security. (Original) Bonita la fachada, pero los alrededores muy abandonados y da la impresión de poca seguridad.

(Translated by Google) It is a memory of my childhood when the little donkey came out and I saw it from there, it is the Holy Supper on Holy Monday... They are very good memories and some bad ones because there I have also had to say goodbye to people who are very dear to me but I always love to return . (Original) Es recuerdo de mi infancia cuando salía la borriquita y la veía desde allí,es la Santa Cena del lunes Santo...Son recuerdos muy buenos y algunos malos porque tambien allí he tenido que despedir a gente muy querida para mí pero me encanta volver siempre.

(Translated by Google) It's impressive to gather around and watch the nuns worshipping the Blessed Sacrament with devotion. (Original) Impresionante para recogerse y ver cómo las monjas con devoción se encuentran adorando al Santísimo.

Great service & attention to detail by all front line staff. (Incl. Reception, House Keeping, Bar/Restaurant). Nothing is ever a problem. * Wifi comes and goes...so if high speed or work needed to be performed relying on fast speed not so convenient. Other than that - Excellent service, super friendly staff and highly recommended. Great centrally located hotel.

Nice hotel, but definitely not a 4 star hotel. No idea how they determined that it was a 4 star. The room lacks the amenities that you'd expect in a 4 star, like the coffee, tea, kettle, conditioner. Otherwise the hotel is nice, parking is a few min away & at a cost. And the breakfast was good! Meats were very fresh. We accidentally booked for 1 person instead of 2 and they charged us for the extra person at breakfast, so just make sure you book correctly.

Location is really good, service is ok. The food served at breakfast is terrible, don't bother wasting your money, great cafes around the corner. The worst thing about our stay by a long way was the NOISE. Massive amounts of banging and clattering, earth shattering pounding of a hammer at 9 o'clock in the morning, people running up and down corridors with suitcases... The list goes on. If I had the choice I would stay somewhere else next time, I feel 2 stars is being kind to this "4 star hotel".

My wife and I stayed mid July 25 for two nights whilst enroute to Gibraltar. Really nice hotel central to the old town and a 25 minute walk to the beach. Staff are friendly and very helpful. I used the multi storey secured carpark for 13 euros per day which is a 5 minutes walk to the hotel. Our room was the superior double with breakfast and free access to the solarium. Facilities in the room included, TV , free safe, fridge, hairdryer and shower over bath. For this grade of room in a four star hotel I would like to see tea & coffee facilities, none the less it's comfortable. The solarium has a jacuzzi, sauna and a couple of sunbeds. On our visit the sauna was not operational. Breakfast is basic however adequate. The cost was 240 euros for two nights, breakfast and carpark which is great value!

The hotel is a good pick, if you lower your expectations. I wouldn't call this a 4 star hotel. With this hotel you should set your expectations to a 3 star hotel. The personnel is very helpful and kind and the location is great. But the rooms are noisy and the beds are uncomfortable. The rooms also lack standard 4-star hotel amenities such as a kettle or coffee machine. Breakfast is decent. Bewaren that you can't access the roof without paying in advance!

Pleasant hotel for a short stay. Rooms were small but very functional. Staff was friendly and the breakfast buffet, though not fancy, was perfectly adequate. Prices are fair.

Nice rooms with comfortable beds, a bath and a fridge ( not a mini bar). But Tv was only in Spanish , not what we expected from a satellite TV. Good location for Alcazabar, bars and restaurants. Access to Solarium was restricted (one hour free with our upgraded room) but you have to pay for additional time. There are sun beds but space is cramped and not very attractive. There is a gym but again you have to go to reception and get access. In the end I didn’t bother, it was too much faff. We could hear TV (or was it other customers conversations ) from the room next door, which was annoying . Check out at 12 mid day with a late night flight meant a lot of hanging about and they wouldn’t let us sit on the roof on the sunbeds which we had planned to do when we booked. Staff Could have been more helpful.

Stunning Morrish fortress and far less crowed than Alhambra.

To visit! One of the best places in Almeria, the staff is lovable and kind, the place is really clean a fun to explore. Recommend.

Almeria has its own gem, too. Must see history revived on this fortress

Wonderful alcazar with commanding views over the city. It's a very quiet placee, the gardens are beautiful and offer tranquility, with steps with small waterfalls and ponds. The architecture of the castle is interesting and is of different time periods. All in all a must see, take about 2 hours to see everything.

Extensive, thus impressive, alcaza, second biggest in Spain. Not sure about their restoration works, using modern materials ...

Great place with a great view

Must visit. Great fortress and views. Estimate 1-2 hours for the visit.

Love the 3D glasses to watch the pictures and the short silent cartoon film!

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. Especially if you go on Saturday at 12 noon for the guided tour. The guide makes the talk very enjoyable, and the information and willingness to answer any questions is appreciated. It is an unknown place of our archaeological heritage in the city of Almería. (Original) Recomendadísimo. Especialmente si vais el sábado a las 12h a la visita guiada. El guía hace muy amena la charla, y se agradece la información y la predisposición a cualquier pregunta. Es un lugar desconocido de nuestro patrimonio arqueológico en la ciudad de Almería.

(Translated by Google) Archaeological site whose visit is totally necessary to understand the historical evolution of the city of Almería. The museum proposal is a success, since they have been able to perfectly integrate and preserve the remains of the old access gate to the wall. First of all, it is worth highlighting the different phases of occupation of the area, where the remains of a salting factory from the Roman era have been preserved along with the medieval phase. Likewise, during the visit, you can see the different archaeological artifacts recovered during the excavations, as well as the various explanations that can be read throughout the exhibition. On the other hand, highlight the video where a very good explanation of the formation process of an archaeological site and its subsequent excavation phase is made. Finally, I would like to make special mention of the workers at the site. Professional, pleasant and sensitive to historical heritage. I enjoyed the conversation with them. (Original) Enclave arqueológico cuya visita es totalmente necesaria para comprender la evolución histórica de la ciudad de Almería. La propuesta museografía es todo un acierto, ya que han sabido integrar y conservar perfectamente los restos de la antigua puerta de acceso de la muralla. En primer lugar, cabe destacar las diferentes fases de ocupación de la zona, donde se han conservado los restos de una fábrica de salazones de época romana junto con la fase de época medieval. Asimismo, durante la visita, se pueden ver los diferentes artefactos arqueológicos recuperados durante las excavaciones, así como también las diversas explicaciones que se pueden leer a lo largo de la exposición. Por otra parte, destacar el vídeo donde se realiza una explicación muy buena del proceso de formación de un yacimiento arqueológico y su posterior fase de excavaciones. Por último, me gustaría hacer especial mención a los trabajadores del yacimiento. Profesionales, agradables y con sensibilidad por el patrimonio histórico. Disfruté de la conversación con ellos.

(Translated by Google) The site is spectacular. The truth is that everything should be promoted much more, because there are treasures that the vast majority of Almería residents don't even know exist. There's a lack of information, dissemination, and promotion of the things we have, and I don't know why they aren't sufficiently exploited. There are paintings and photographs that can be viewed in 3D, an audiovisual animation, and a few other things to interact with, some of which don't work. (Original) El sitio es espectacular, la verdad que tendrían que estar mucho más fomentadas todas las cosas, porqué hay tesoros,que una gran mayoría de los almerienses no saben ni que existen. Falta información, difusión y auge de las cosas que tenemos y que no sé porqué no están lo suficientemente explotadas. Hay cuadros, fotografías para poder ver en 3D. Una animación audiovisual y algunas otras cosas con las que interactuar,alguna que no funciona.

(Translated by Google) The interpretation center includes two historical ages: the Roman era with the salting factory and the Muslim era with the construction of the walls. Admission is free and includes 3D glasses for the photographs on the walls. (Original) El centro de interpretación recoge dos edades históricas: la época romana con la factoria de salazones y la época musulmana con la construcción de las murallas. La entrada es gratuita e incluye gafas 3D para las fotografías de las paredes.

(Translated by Google) Place that deserves a stop if you are visiting Almería. Very good treatment from the staff and a visit is recommended. Gratuitous (Original) Sitio que merece una parada si estás de visita por Almería. Muy buen trato del personal y recomendable su visita. Gratuito

(Translated by Google) Another place in Almeria that isn't promoted and goes unnoticed. It's worth a visit. Upon entering, they'll give you 3D glasses to see several paintings in 3D. It's not very big, but you'll spend an interesting time among the walls and the salted fish. Good service to answer questions. There's also a guided tour. (Original) Otro sitio más de Almeria que no se promociona y pasa desapercibido . Merece la pena la visita ,al entrar te darán unas gafas 3D para ver varios cuadros en 3D ,no es muy grande pero pasas un rato interesante entre la muralla y los salazones. Buena atencion para resolver dudas . Tambien hay una visita guiada .
