Fortress
The Conjunto Monumental de la Alcazaba de Almería is an enduring fortress with protective stone walls surrounding an ancient compound, now housing historical exhibits. This 10th-century citadel is one of the most impressive in medieval Islamic al-Andalus and second in size only to Granada's Alhambra.
This fortress exceeded every expectation we had! It is huge and in really good condition. The gardens are gorgeous, and it also offers an amazing view over the whole city. Would definitely recommend it! It takes about 1 hour to see everything, but you can easily spend 3.

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!

Cathedral
Sacred & Religious Sites
Historic Sites
Cathedral Encarnación de Almería is a Gothic and Renaissance Catholic cathedral that was constructed in the 16th century with the dual purpose of serving as a defensive fortress. It is the only structure of its kind in Andalusia, featuring a blend of Renaissance and Gothic styles. The cathedral's chunky turrets and buttresses were designed to repel attacks from Berber pirates and rebelling Moors during the 16th century.
Great place to visit especially outside of weekends and holiday season. Beautiful views and wonderful history. Do yourself a favour and visit.
Albert R — Google review
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.

Bar
European restaurant
Casa Puga is a historic tapas bar in Almeria, dating back to 1870. The ambiance is lively and inviting, with traditional decor including hanging jamones and shelves filled with bottles and cheeses. While the service can be casual, the atmosphere is buzzing. The bar offers free tapas with a glass of wine or beer, and also serves substantial half raciones of grilled kidneys, fried fish, octopus, and more.
Casa Puga Almeria, is one of the best spots in town! The food is amazing, simple as that. It's some of the most authentic tapas I've had in my life. The atmosphere is super traditional too, the kind of place that makes you feel like you're stepping back in time. The staff are friendly, they made me feel so welcome as soon as I walked in the door.

Great traditional tasca bar in Almería. If you’re not from here is a must, great tapas and drinks, very cheap and so beautiful to see too.
A recommended tapas bar to visit when in Almeria. Mostly locals and the food are fantastic! Drinks comes with something to nibble and you can order additional. In our case we got free garlic mushrooms. It opens at 8:30 pm and customersare already waiting outside before the doors are open. Better come early if you want a table, a bit of a scrumble to get it. The bar itself gets crowded with walk in customers throughout the evening
A visit to almeria has to include this tapas bar the oldest in almeria. Amazing fresh tapas cooked in front of you. Buzzing busy authentic love it
Very popular with tourists and locals alike, so always expect a big crowd. There was even a queue 30 mins before the place opened.
I went twice on different days, and both times they didn’t have pulpo and ternera… Why put them on the menu if you don’t serve them? 💔
I don’t understand how this place can have 5 stars reviews. I just went there and I have never seen a place as dirty as this one. We had 4 plates on the table and all plates and cutleries had stains of food on them. The worst part was the fact that I had 3 glasses that I couldn’t drink from. Very dirty, very cloudy and full of stains. I understand if it was one but all 3 were disgusting. I took picture only to one of them. The food was same. Very plain and no effort at all. The gambas pil pil was made in sunflower oil instead of olive oil, no taste at all. Also when cooking, without gloves, they were scratching their heads and then touching the food again. Horrible! I was so excited to be in Almeria and I swear this was the worst food experience so far.
I accidentally passed by this beautiful restaurant today, and it was a wonderful and interesting experience. I saw that tourists who don't speak Spanish gave it a low rating in the comments, and I think they may not understand how to order food correctly. I don't understand Spanish either, but through Google and other guests' explanations, the food on the tapas page here is that every alcoholic drink comes with a free tapa, and if you order extra, it's 2 euros each. We ordered four alcohol drinks, 6 tapas, and a fried shrimp, which added up to about 26 euros.
On a hot, sunny Friday, they couldn't open on time, didn't have the decency to care enough for the people waiting outside in the sun and be timely. I sat there for 40 minutes (which was already past their supposed opening time) and gave up in the end.
The minimum they could have done would be to offer the 10-12 people waiting in the heat a drink or something until they could get the place ready.
Abysmal customer service.

Refugios de la Guerra Civil Española de Almería is a small museum dedicated to the Spanish Civil War, offering an immersive experience through its exhibits and audiovisual displays. It was the last stronghold of the Republican government during the war and served as a protective shelter for over 34,000 civilians.
One of the most amazing places I have ever visited! Fascinating, Historical, Important, Scary, mysterious, intriguing and impressive.
It was easy to book on-line on the web a few days before our visit.
I recommend this.
The entry kiosk is very small and you have to look closely to see the entry door.
Amazing architectural engineering. The member of staff who led our tour was passionate and informative. (The tour is given in Spanish, and the guide kindly interpreted a little into English for us, as Spanish is not our first language). It starts with a video, and there are English subtitles on the video.
You must see this place, Hopefully it helps us all think carefully about preserving peace in our lives.
Damian R — Google review
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....

It's such a beautiful park with fantastic trees and fountains.

A great park that seems endless, if your children are under 8 they'll enjoy it.
The rides are old and some parts of the park need better looking after.
I love the water features and incredibly large trees. If you need shade in the summer, come here.
There is a bus stop nearby, plenty of cafes and restaurants.
It's a shame that such a beautiful park smells all over with Dog piss. What happened to the municipality work here? No one cares about this park or what? The smell is horrible 😫 😩
Nice place to visit
A very pleasant park area with fountains and areas to sit and enjoy the sunshine
Very nice gardens, with lots of good benches.
Lovely park to walk or sit and pass the day
Very pretty and sheltered park.

Kiosco Amalia is a delightful gem in the heart of Almeria, perfect for those looking to unwind before or after a meal. This charming outdoor spot invites you to savor an aperitif, especially if you're a fan of vermouth. With no indoor seating, it offers an enchanting atmosphere where you can enjoy stunning views of beautifully illuminated 19th-century townhouses as night falls.

No food. Lovely Americano drink, pink in colour and topped with cinnamon.
Not to be confused with a coffee of the same name.
No toilet, be aware.
Stopped here on a whim after a night of tapas. Glad I did. They serve a sweet milk based aperitif called an americano. Quite different from what I as an American have come to expect the drink to be but nonetheless it was SUPREMELY delicious and a perfect night cap. What a wonderful experience.
Europe 2024 !
No restrooms!
A place that serves food and drinks.
Never miss its Americano caliente
Very reasonable prices (€3 for a bottle of Estrella Galicia) and the tapas was lovely
Excellent americano a tipical pink alcoholic warm drink at kiosco Amalia. Also Amaretto and gin tonic
We heard about the '' Cafe Americano'' and we were not disappointed, it was a unique and tasting small berage. There is a nice sitting area and a good way to take a rest while making tourism.

Honestly the best place we visited in our 10day Almería trip. The kind waiter explained the below average reviews but I honestly don’t get why. We tipped him cuz everything was perfect, we had great food and a fast and very pleasant service (our waiter spoke English very fluently). The quesadillas with pollo and queso were very good for €1 !!!
Greatly underrated and highly recommended!
We ate plenty and payed €82,5 with 6 persons.
Robbe P — Google review
We visited La Plazuela in Almería hoping for a delightful tapas experience. While some of the tapas were genuinely tasty, the overall service left much to be desired. The staff seemed largely inattentive, and we found ourselfs having to ask for table service and reminding of our orders, which was a bit disappointing. Particularly, the presentation of the Russian salad was notably lackluster und rudely suggestive. Could be a hit or miss depending on what you order and your service expectations.
I'd strongly recommend going elsewhere for food. The service is unfriendly, the kitchen takes forever to produce food, including tapas, and the food quality is ordinary. There are other similarly priced places close by that would be worth trying.
We had an absolutely amazing dining experience at this Almeria tapas restaurant! The food was exquisite, with a wide variety of delicious small plates to choose from. The flavors were outstanding, and each dish was a culinary masterpiece. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was impeccable. I can't wait to return and savor these delightful tapas again. Five stars all the way!
Great service, good tapas. Quite busy but nice staff.
Loud place. Only one waiter can speak English. Snacks are good
This place is amazing. So cheap, goats cheese is the best (ordered a few), service is good ❤️❤️ loved it and will go back again!
We enjoyed it here, food was very tasty, wine was great. Nice place with pleasant atmosphere.

The menu features a variety of options including couscous, Moroccan tea, vegetarian choices, and delectable pastries.
We had a very dinner, with chicken skewers, meatballs, Hummus, bread, minced meat triangle pastry. It was very yummy.
We drank a homemade lemon/mint ice tea which was super refreshing.

Really nice marroccan place, was open at 5 pm, blessing in Spain :) Nice soup, tabule, humus, meatballs, all fresh and tasty, attentive fast service in English, nice indoor and outdoor setting. Recommended.
Fantastic Moroccan Restaurant on the route down from the Alcazaba.
The Moroccan tea is delicious, so refreshing. The tabbouleh and falafel was one of the best we had ever had, so good we had to go back!
After 10 years of absence, I returned to this restaurant with my wife and three-year daughter. The waiter welcomed us with a large smile 😊, he suggested several tables then picked a good table for us. Yes the food took some time to come, since it's cooked not frozen or heated it was worth the wait 😋 👌, the nice old lady (I assume owner of the restaurant) gave my wife sweets free of charge as a gift, she adored my daughter and was all the time treating her like as if it was hers ❤️❤️, the food was amazing (after 10 years) the same high quality and taste 🤗, the service was amazing with a wonderful smile of the gentleman 🙏🙏. Big love from Tunisia to Morocco ❤️
Wow! Amazing food and you forget you are not in Morocco. Vegetarian choices are many and delicious! Moroccan salad of oven baked vegetables is exquisite and spices are unique and takes you to another place across the Mediterranean sea! Vegetable couscous is not just healthy but devine! Cooked just perfectly melts in your mouth! Lemonade is not overly sweet and refreshing. Perfect place to great food or just simply Arab pastries and teas!
Great restaurant, super delicious food, I definitely recommend eating here! We had several dishes, and they were all superb! A must try is their lemonade, both flavours are fantastic! Great vibes too!
we had a really lovely lunch here today, it is such a lovely tea shop with a properly traditional feel to it. we had the mint lemonade, which was so delicious and refreshing, then for food we had the chicken shish kebabs. we asked for a few more food items as well, but they got lost in translation - our fault for only knowing the most basic of spanish - the staff were lovely and accommodating despite our language barrier, and the chicken kebabs were incredible! they brought us bread and olives on the house, and two sweet treats after we paid as well. all in all, really lovely, we’ll have to scrub up our language skills and head back to try the rest of the menu!
Absolutely delicious.
Got myself nice and burnt at the beach like an amateur and felt really run down. Happened upon this gem and just felt the food and tea healing me <3.
The soup - bessara. Nom
Salad was lightly and perfectly dressed.
Koftas were tasty.
Whole meal was lovely and it's such a chill place, up a charming little street away from the busy atmosphere.
No card machine though - bring cash.
No alcohol either fyi.

Unusual thing from a Spanish Restaurant: good vegetables.
Very unique experience to have a meal inside the mountain. The price of the food is quite expensive for the food - including thr meat. The service is good , however it is still measing some professionalism of the service. The restaurant has around 3 sections or the mountain insdide- 2 are hall with tables in and the last one is more like a private area.
Eaten here for over 30 years. Superb food, service and atmosphere. Nicholas and Sinfo run an excellent restaurant, that serves top quality food at reasonanle prices.
Really wonderful restaurant!
The ambience is so different and romantic. I loved it.
The menu is not too long - which means that the dishes they make are perfectly curated and done.
The food we ate was delicious!
And the prices are very decent, even lower than what we expected compared to the quality you get and the lovely treatment by the waiters. (Salad, 2 main dishes, a glass of beer, a glass of wine, dessert and a glass of gin for 75e)
It deserves more than 5 stars :)
Whoever comes to Almeria or Aguadulce should visit this place.
As a couple we have been coming here for 30 years, my wife has been a visitor for over 40 years. The food, wines and service are exceptional. Nicholas and Sinfo run a well oiled machine that serves excellent food that is reasonably priced. In my opinion you can't better this restaurant in Andalucia.
Cool and unique restaurant. They don't serve any sides so if you like having something to eat with your steak it's best to order it (though the meat is so delicous you don't really need it)
Really nice place, really good food and nice atmosphere.

Bright airy with so many great shops and entertainment. Highly recommended
Take notice where you park. 3 under ground Car Parks .It's a maze.
Small shopping centre but you can get most things
All the brands you'll want in one place. Fast food establishments for you're eating needs & a cinema as well. Different thing we noticed was a laundry area where you can also wash your pet's stuff as well
Excellent. Plenty of good quality shops with even a smart Mercadona on the ground floor. Good mix of fast food and more traditional restaurants in a very swish setting. Well worth a visit 😉
Not as good as pre-pandemic and a bit more expensive but then everywhere is. 😥

Centro Comercial Mediterráneo is a spacious and modern complex in Almeria, offering a variety of boutiques, a supermarket, and restaurants. It's a great place for families with plenty to explore. The market area offers diverse produce to sample and cafes provide a relaxing spot to enjoy some churros. Additionally, there are shops downstairs featuring an array of items including fish. While not the largest mall in Almeria, it is well-maintained with ample parking space.

Today I had my appointment to secure residency in Spain in the centre of Almería. Worried about parking, I was advised to use the Centro Comercial. During my dry run last week, and today I parked there underground in the cool, and on both occasions bought delicious things to eat and drink in Alcampo. Couldn't be happier to shop there having got to know the chain in Motril many years ago.
They even have an outlet for my favorite clothing chain, Tommy Hillfiger. Could be happier...
Its a light airy mall with good selection of shops..low mark is for failure to provide some seating for those who need them whilst their partners wonder round the shops. A small cost that would make this a better experience.
We use this store because it has a large selection of gluten free products .
We used the self service till. Although all the instructions were in Spanish, it was easy to use . If we did have a problem then the shop assistant was straight there to help. Will definitely go back again.a
Lots of shops was a bit disappointed with the food area we were there at 12.15pm & there was only one cafe open
Horrible, small and unfriendly staff. We went with our very small dog, and they kicked us out after two hours. They claimed dogs are not allowed. Also they have one set of restrooms for the whole shopper by center on the second floor.
Everything is cramped and only one small elevator. Not exactly disabled friendly.
You are better off going to Torrecardenas shopping center.
Small but beautiful shopping centre witha lot of greenery outside. There is a huge carrefour inside, clothing shops, a cinema, caffes and restaurants to hangout.
Pleasant shopping mall with easy access parking

The Museo de Almería, also known as the Museo Arqueológico, is a modern museum that houses a diverse collection of prehistoric and neolithic crafts, weaponry, and ceramics. It was established in 2006 to showcase the rich historical heritage of the Almeria region from prehistoric times through the Islamic period. The museum's centerpiece is the 13-meter Stratigraphic Column, displaying the city's stages of development.
Fantastic museum, especially if you have visited the Los Millares archaeology site as the findings from there are displayed here with interesting information and well designed displays. I love Spanish museums as they as much art gallery as museum. A real feast for the ears as well as the eyes. It's also free!! Thank you Almería.
One tip to the museum - do advertise the los Millares site more and vice versa as I think both would then have many more visitors.

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.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Faro de Cabo de Gata is a historic lighthouse constructed in 1863, situated on a clifftop offering stunning vistas of the Arrecife de las Sirenas jagged rock formations. This scenic location provides ample parking nearby and the road leading up to the lighthouse is also worth exploring. It's an excellent spot for admiring the sea from high cliffs, making it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and tourists alike.
A very nice point with cool rocky formations in the sea! Moreover there's a wonderful beach underneath the lighthouse were the sea is very calm and full of fish (you can do some snorkeling in front of the beach and see about 20-30 different fish species, some of them getting as big as 40cm!). If you need the snorkeling gear you can rent it by the lighthouse for 10€ a day.

Beautiful, pristine beaches far from crowded vacation spots. No sand, but smooth pebbles—which I personally love (just don’t forget your flip-flops!). All set within a stunning national park.
amazing view, and a very beautiful place to see!
Cabo de gata is gorgeous.
Rocky coastline with nice views
Beautiful views. Well worth the detour from the main route.
A lovely scenic drive down the coast from Almeria. You cannot access the lighthouse but you can get close and see the beautiful views across the sea. Take some time and visit this lovely corner of Almeria.
Fantastic place to go, the scenery is amazing, well worth the visit
Wonderful place and scenic drive towards it. Windy sometimes, cristal clear water and just a small part of a really unique nationalpark.

Extremely good restaurant, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The starters and mains are very tasty . Would recommend
Chris M — Google review
Dined at La Tagliatella in Torre Cardenas, Almeria, and had a truly pleasant experience. The food and service were both commendable, matched by a very nice atmosphere. Overall, a delightful visit that almost hits perfection.
Very slow waitress, never smiled once, and seemed almost irritated to have to serve us. I am truly disappointed in this attitude, and it is a total waste because I have to be honest and commend the food, which is excellent. If the service matched, I would give a 5 star for the food but am reluctant to give more than 4 stars when all is lost on the service; I have felt more welcomed at a Supermarket checkout.
Overpriced food. Our pizzas were thin almost like filo pastry, because of that the filling was also thin, my 4 cheeses pizza had only 2 bits of gorgonzola. The salami pizza was only a Margherita with slices of uncooked salami on top. Not great and not worth the value.
They make you wait on arrival.
Covid safe. Nice food, good service
Ok
(Translated by Google) We've been here before and the experience has always been good. Large portions, good food, and exceptional service. This last time, in particular, we were served by Carmen, who was very professional and pleasant. Highly recommended.

Excellent food very busy (Saturday lunchtime). Would happily go back tune teriyaki was delicious.
Did go back that evening, just as good
This place is an absolute gem! When we arrived there was already a cue forming and I see why! The food is delicious and very reasonable priced. Inside it has a lovely feel and service is good. Downsides are limited toilets and one of the orders ( toast with tomatoes spread) was bland. But neither of those things stop me giving this place a well deserved 5 star. Well worth a visit when in Almeria
Nice and quick service, fair prices and really tasty Tapas! If we visit Almerìa again, we will come back :)
Nice place with grill, but best by far where potatoes bravas with alioli. Superb!!
Incredible staff, they don’t speak English but somehow communication is very easy. Food is great, service is very fast and staff are all very gentle. We ate tapas and meat; all was very tasty and top quality.
Very great place for tapas. Perfect
I stayed at The Hotel Elba and treated this restaurant like my hotel restaurant/bar since it was a 2 minute walk. Loved it! Ronald was adorable!

Mediterranean restaurant
Bar
Restaurante El Faro is a delightful Mediterranean eatery with stunning views. Despite not having made a reservation, the friendly waitress accommodated us inside, where we still enjoyed a good vantage point. The zucchini salad and crispy toast with sardines were both incredibly flavorful. We also shared the delicious flat iron pork. The staff was amiable, and our food arrived promptly. The only drawback was the difficulty in paying; we had to ask multiple staff members several times.
Terrific restaurant. Loved the food, the staff and the setting
Andrew H — Google review
We hadn't booked but the lovely waitress seated us inside on our own, which still had a good view! We had the zucchini salad and the crispy toast (taco) with sardines both were extremely tasty! We shared the flat iron pork which also very good. The staff were friendly and the food came out quite quickly. The only downside was trying to pay, we ask 3 different staff 4 or 5 times. We understand they were busy but as we were paying cash it literally took seconds to do. It certainly wouldn't put me off returning though, that zucchini salad is worth it 😃
Simply superb. Food is amazing and fresh. Black paella reached perfection with flavours and not soaked in ink. Boquerones fish fried is a must. The price is decent for location, but payments are in cash. A must!
Beautiful place, magical view over the sea 🤩 I had a wonderful time, great food (brotola - muy bien 😇) and I'm very thankful for your kind service, I felt really welcome and comfortable, just like home. Gracias 🇪🇸❤️🇵🇱
Everything was amazing, and the staff was lovely and quick. Definitely worth the try, great spot located in a secluded Cabo de Gata
We hadn’t planned on going there—just stopped by because it was the closest restaurant to the Faro. But everything we ordered was really well made and absolutely delicious. Such a pleasant surprise!
Unfortunately, we were rejected a table because "the cafe was full", the next family of 4 was properly seated because of course there was place for them. I don't want to accuse the employee and the cafe of discrimination, but its hard to think of another reason as my mother was wearing an hijab and we are Moroccan. If you are Muslim or against supporting racist practices, do not visit the cafe. If you share the same beliefs, you will feel right at home here.
Great restaurant in a beautiful area, staff is friendly and the seafood is the best I've tried so far! A must, before hitting the amazing mountains of Capo de Gata.

Pescatarians can enjoy dishes such as octopus and bonito tuna salad. Vegetarian options are also available.
What a lovely place, food and staff. The octopus and artichokes we had were heaven. The staff was friendly and gave us a table despite not having a booking. Booking on a weekend is a must though. The location is slightly away from the main area but worth visiting.

Perfect, just perfect. And wine selection is almost best in whole Almeria
Great food, very nice atmosphere and best cheese cake I ever eat. The meat was cooked on metal plate and was delicious. Attached is a tomato we brought with us and prepared for us at restaurant.
Tasty wine.
Went there for a business dinner. The food was excellent with a large menu to choose from. Service from our two waiters was great. Highly recommended to eat there.
Best steak in town and diffrent tapas. When they open a few minutes later they are full. A small bar but very good.
Amazing! My girlfriend and I went a few minutes before 23:00 in a Saturday, had to wait 3 minutes for a table. We had a bunch of different delicious Tapas that they show and explain to you, as well as beer and wine. The waitress dealing with us was limited in her English, but nonetheless super friendly and eager to help. The prices were great, and as we paid we even got free shots of 'lemon sorbet with sparkling wine'.
We will be coming again! Keep up the great work!
11/10 for taste and Etablissement
We managed to get a walk in table when they opened at 8.30pm. Would recommend to book as many people were turned away all night. Buzzing atmosphere. The tapas was the best I've ever eaten. Service was fast & efficient with a smile. 6 large glasses of white wine & 12 plates of tapas came to only.€45!! We also then opted to have a jamon platter which was delicious at €25.
Tried this place when another tapas bar we wanted to go was closed. We were very glad. Great selection of home made tapas, including some traditional stuff as well as various other interesting options. Will be going again next time we are in Almeria.

Southeast side of town
For day 3, we recommend exploring the southeast side side of town. Start the day off with Parque Natural del Cabo de Gata-Níjar, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Cala Rajá. All together, your day would be filled with about 8 hours of non-stop fun.

Ciaran H — Google review
My friends took me here on my last day in Almeria for a beach day and it was probably the best beach day that I've had abroad. Swimming in the refreshing Mediterranean was just dreamy. Clear waters, pebbly beach and not crowded at all. BYO shade as there are no trees. No public toilets or changing rooms from what I saw. We brought a picnic lunch with lots of water and fruit juice. The park is huge and has many beaches and even a wee township to explore or have food and drinks (will do this next time). Parking is free (on the side of the main road). I think we left at around 8pm. A totally relaxing day at the beach and not far from Almeria at all. I'd totally go back for sure!
This Natural Park is simply breathtaking! Best to explore by foot. The are numerous trails along the coast going up and down from one gorgeous beach to the next secluded cove, up you go giant sand dunes and down to an orchard of "pitas"...Please keep this please clean, DO NOT litter and leave nothing behind, thank you
Such an amazing place. Even though the sun wasn't shining it is still beautifull to drive around here. Really recommend it!!
Amazing view, simply surreal 😍
Awesome. The last semi arid zone in Europe. As inhospitable an environment as you will find yet filled with flora and fauna that can live nowhere else and stunning scenery. If you are in Almeria this area is a must see.
AMAZING place soooo gorgeous so much to do and see I'm in total and complete love xoxoxo
Wild desert, sandy beaches with people, stony beaches with no people, the highest lighthouse in the Mediterranean, snorkelling, views, starry nights, a sprinkling of good restaurants, history - plenty here for a week's holiday.

Beautiful beach! Only down side is that it’s not that accessible with public transport. You could take the bus to San José and walk to the beach (35 min) 🏖️
Hanna S — Google review
It is indeed a beautiful beach, big waves and awesome, but there's plenty of people with dogs. And these dogs likely to leave surprises - just look where you step.
Nice beach, very very long ao there's always enough place near the water. There were a lot of waves so we couldn't really understand how nice the sea is. There was a lot of current though, the waves were arriving from multiple directions and there was a yellow flag so...we couldn't really enjoy the water. Moreover the parking place cost 6€, without even having seen the sea. We had to park by the restaurant, which means you have to walk about 10-15 minutes. In my opinion a cute beach, but nothing special, we saw far better beaches around there.
Beautiful, undeveloped beach. Because of bay and direction, water tends to be very still here (even if wavey nearby). Water quite shallow for a fair way out. In October, very quiet. Good short hikes with great views to the SW end. Further South-west end (beyond rock) for nude bathing.
To enter the reserve it was €6. The road is gravel and dry, but is sprayed by a tractor that turns it into a slightly muddy track. Our hire car was covered in thick mud. That should not spoil it. Just a heads up.
This beach is beautiful but can get windy, unfortunately from the direction of the land.
Our beach towels were covered with sand in no time.
Drinks and food were covered.
I'm sure it isn't always like this. But we had to abandon our stay.
GoPro found here today! Please contact me if it’s yours. Lovely beach by the way, absolutely beautiful.
We headed to the beach from San José, just over a mile from the town, lovely beach with hills on both sides. We walked further west and climbed a small hill overlooking the beach. Heat views of beach and the mountains to the north. Very green and lush. Amazing amount of wild flower species, all beautiful. Walked further west and past some other lively beaches. Has our lunch on one, some of the rock formations were spectacular. Great area will return and recommend.
A nice and very long beach in walking distance from San José (there are paths from the old windmill, it takes about 20 mins) but reachable by car as well, or public transport in the summer season. During the high season there is a fee per car entering the road.
The entrance to the sea is very shallow for about 15 to 20m from the shore. Very nice, fine and soft sand. One of very few beaches that I've seen between Cabo de Gata and San José that have vegetation around - eucalyptus grove, agaves and other plants.

Fantastic beach! There's no sand but very very fine pebbles from every colors which aren't painful under the feet (so no keed for shoes on the beach!). The parking place is pretty big, we've never had problems finding a spot during the week (we always arrived around 16-17). The water is pristine and there's a huge amount of fish near the coast! We counted at least 20 different species which can be see simply by snorkeling. We swam only a couple of cm away from the fish (some of them getting up to 30cm long!). We loved this place!
Awesome spot for snorkelling, saw many fishes here! Water is crystal clear. The beach itself is pebbly but these were comfortable, we didn’t need the shoes. There are no services on this beach however there is a bar/restaurant opposite the road and parking lot where you can buy food/drinks.
Great little beach to snorkel, kayak, paddle board, and swim. Rocks can be a bit much but otherwise is amazing
Nice beach and it's surrounding. Ideal for snorkeling. No services so there is less people. But it is better to bring water shoes because of the large amount of coral near the beach.
A great beach and beutiful fish. The right place to snorkeling !!!
Recommended to arrive around 9am cause later it becomes craudy.
It’s nice but there are other much better beaches in Cabo de Gata
Nice sandy beach with clear water and rocky surroundings, good for swimming, SUP and snorkeling.

Cala Rajá is a scenic beach that is nestled in the embrace of towering cliffs. The azure waters surrounding it are perfect for snorkeling, but getting there can be a challenge due to the rocky path leading up to it. It's recommended that visitors wear appropriate footwear as the first few meters of shoreline are covered with rocks before giving way to sand. Although quite popular during summer, beachgoers may have to contend with an abundance of flies.
Gorgeous relaxing beach. The journey in can be challenging and depending which way you come is not marked. Once you arrive the beach is lovely with big crashing waves and lots of space to relax. Was not too busy when I was there just a couple other groups so was nice and relaxed. No amenities close by so bring everything in with you. I sat for a couple hours then continued exploring the rugged coastline. Great area to spend a day exploring!

Difficult to get to although we managed in flip flops and loads of bags. Very relaxed atmosphere, crystal waters, great for snorkeling.
Would have been a strong 5 stars if it wasn't for the quantity of flies and the quite hard path to get there. Bring hiking shoes.
But the beach must say is very beautiful.
Beautiful spot placed between the cliffs. Not to crowded and gorgeous water! Just be carefull when you climb down ;-)
Great beach between rocks. Water not clean, but that’s ok. It’s nature.
So good, as all the places in cabo de gata
Nice beach but very popular during the summer.
The beach is very nice, water great. The access is a bit difficult, but possible to get even with kids when you find the correct way. Recommended are the shoes for the rocks as at the beginning of the sea there are few meters of rocks only after which sand starts.

Off the beaten path
For day 4, if you don’t mind the extra trek, today covers more off the beaten path places like Plaza Vieja. Not quite as popular as Cathedral Encarnación de Almería, but still highly rated among many travelers. Accounting for getting around and average time spent, today’s activities could take about 7 hours.

The only downside is that there could be more dining choices, but overall, the atmosphere is lively and enjoyable. I definitely recommend visiting Parque Commercial Copo for a fun shopping experience!
Attractive mix of several businesses for shopping... Also hamburger restaurants, fuel station, car wash. The place to be if you need something... April 2023, still a very attractive place to shop... December 2023, very crowded due to the year end... March 2024, very nice place for shopping...
Rand new not much open, some still in construction
VERY cheap overall,food bags came full and the price low.if you're passing by,shop there,since is right next to the highway and easy access and parking.
Who doesn’t love John Lewis? This is a particularly nice store and very friendly staff. Easy parking at the Mall
Lots of parking. Easy access. Not a huge selection of stores but enough to warrant a visit. Bright and clean. Staff friendly.
Its a well situated place. Good parking spaces, inside there are many stores and shops to chose from and next to McDonald's for a quick bite. Good Commercial place.

Plaza Vieja

(939)
Historical landmark
Plaza Vieja, a beautiful square in the old town district, underwent renovation in the early 1800s and now features a monument honoring martyrs, as well as city hall and dining establishments. This historic landmark serves as a centerpiece for various special concerts and events that take place here. Although it can become lively during such occasions, generally it remains relatively quiet. The square is also home to an excellent traditional football field.
Very beautifully restored recently. Saw a concert there. The plaza is gorgeous.

Nice place to rest and enjoy a bit of history. You can wait for the tour train here, and have some tapas in the little restaurants around.
Nice place with restaurants and café's nearby!
Fun old square with a wonderful Center of Almeria heritage.. Great views of The Alcazaba from the roof terrace.
A quiet square in the old part of Almería city. A lot of shaded areas, particularly by all the archways.
Not an overly attractive place to stop.
Good to see, but a great deal of construction going on 2023. Will be great when finished.
If you are passing by pop in, if not leave it untill the construction is finished.
There is a cafe/bar and a hotel bar and restaurant, both worth a visit.
Nice place surrounded my great restaurants
Lovely square and nice atmosphere.

SPA AIRE Ancient Baths Almería is a luxurious spa located in the Old Quarter, where an ancient Arabic baths has been restored to offer visitors a unique experience. The spa offers the traditional Arabic bathing ritual, involving moderate, warm and cold immersions to cleanse both the mind and body. One of its highlights is the wine bath, where guests can soak in different temperature baths before enjoying a private wine bath accompanied by a glass of wine and a head and neck massage.
Love, Love, Love This fabulous hotel. Stayed over a very long weekend. The location, the interior, the room, breakfast, facilities and the spa fantastic, well thought out. Special mention of how gorgeous this place smells, but all praises to the staff especially Mina (front desk) so lovely, warm and welcoming, her local knowledge (food, site seeing & shopping) benefited us greatly. Had an amazing experience. We will be back !

Booked this for a 3 night stay with my bf in February and we fell in love with it! The spa is fantastic, we have been to many and this was probably our favourite so far! Also the heated rooftop pool with views over the old city... wow. An absolute gem of a find for a winter getaway!
Every time i go to Spain, i make a point of visiting aire spas. I’ve been to the one in Barcelona and Seville, and this summer i went to almeria.
The wine bath is an absolute must do. You get to soak in the different temperature baths, then get escorted to your private wine bath. During your wine bath, you are given a glass of wine, and they give you a head and neck massage. Afterwards, you get a full body massage. Finally, you go to the rooftop pool where you get another glass of wine and some cheese. You have a great view from this roof which is a plus.
Lucia was my masseuse; she was so gentle and had an incredible touch. Thank you!
An amazing massage and baths at the ancient baths of Almeria. We had 45 minutes couples massage with soothing oils and music, followed by 75 minutes floating in four pools of different temperatures. A complete experience and well worth the time and expense.
A calm and relaxing spa with wonderful staff who look after you from beginning to end of visit and go that one step further and stay the night in the hotel.Roof terrace is wonderful to relax at the end of the day .
Amazing views, great room and service, second year staying here for Christmas. Not giving 5 stars just because there is no parking included and the cost of using their partner parking is higher than parking somewhere else.
Lovely spa! Will return!
They have a few different baths and the massage was amazingggg!
A little luxury within the old parts of Almeria. The area itself is a bit rundown, but the hotel is outstanding in it's setup and design. The hotel restaurant is worth a visit, with good tapas and wine.

Restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Almeria's charming old town, Tetería Almedina Baraka is a delightful Moorish-style tea house that transports you to another world. As you stroll through the sun-drenched streets adorned with vibrant houses, this hidden gem beckons with its colorful decor and inviting atmosphere.
This is my favorite restaurant in Almeria. If you’re a foreigner prepare yourself for slow service because the serving culture is different in Spain. The servers here are sooo nice and’s helpful all you have to do is ask. As for the food: OUTSTANDING. The falafel is the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. Not to mention the atmosphere is beautiful too. I go here every chance I get.
Ryn W — Google review
I had the almond soup, falafel, and hummus. Soup is creamy, garlicky, and nutty. Hummus is smooth with lovely spices. The falafel has a crispy sesame seed coating. All were very good. Try the rooibos tea.
Came to Almeria for our summer holiday and decided to try some Moroccan food for the first time!!
The service was great, the staff were very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious!!
The location is beautiful, right next to the alcazaba!
Extra points for the cute cat as well haha
5/5 recommend!!
While the view is certainly outstanding, the atmosphere in the first floor was definitely not the best, seeing as it's right next to the kitchen and you can hear the clicking and clacking and yelling and all of that.
I ordered the homemade fries, which I was assured would be filling and that it'd be a large dish (it wasn't), that cost an absurd 8€ that I regret spending, and the fries took more than 40 minutes to arrive to the table.
You'd think that the fries taking more than 40 minutes to cook would be golden brown and perfectly fried, well, you thought wrong, because they arrived looking very pale and a bit undercooked, with the ketchup being a splotch on the side, not even offered for me to use it however I'd like to.
The ladies seemed nice and the desserts looked good, but I wouldn't recommend sitting in the first floor nor ordering the +40 minute fries that should cost 4-5€ and little more.
We stumbled on this little gem of a restaurant yesterday. The decor, views and food were fabulous. Loved the fruit platter.
Delicious, good service, large menu. Some of the best food we’ve had in Spain. Go try it! You won’t regret it.
The food was super delicious! We had the Musaka (omg!) and the falafel (best I’ve ever had). It’s not that cheap (compared to the super cheap tapas bars) but worth it. We spend 40€ for 2. When you sit upstairs with this beautiful view, a little longer waiting time for the waitress is not too bad. Nevertheless 5 stars and an absolute recommendation!
Great simply cooked food without heavy spices or sauces. Loved the lemonade ( green, a bit tart, not too sweet and made with mint ). The passion baraka drink tasted like a thick tomato/ beet smoothie, not to our liking. The bread was amazing and so was the tagine and taboulé couscous! Would go again!

Tapas bar
Bar Bahía de Palma, located on Calle Mariana 17, is a local favorite in Almeria. The bar is adorned with bullfighting memorabilia and offers a limited selection of homecooked tapas. It serves copious Spanish breakfasts and weekday set lunches from 9am to 5pm. The atmosphere is bustling and friendly, making it a great place to enjoy traditional tapas and drinks with friends.
We, a group of four geriatric Brits, wanderered in for tapas and drinks at lunchtime one day in November 2024. The waitress was very helpful in explaining (in simple Spanish) what tapas were available. Four drinks and seven tapas cost a very reasonable 21 euro. It appears that the price of a drink includes a tapas, too. All the other customers were Spanish, so good local atmosphere. Highly recommend.
David W — Google review
Came here because where we planned was under maintenance. Staff very unfriendly, except lovely girl at the bar, and speaks no English at all. Found the solution in writing on Google translate and showing them the screen. The food is average. Wine is good.
Had drinks there two evening on our spanish trip..old Spanish bar with a courtyard in front,,atmosphere was wonderful drinks only no food..
Just stopped for a drink whilst walking around Almeria. They didn't understand English tea. What came was a cup of hot milk and a strange teabag. Very cheap though, under €4 for the 2 of us. Staff friendly. Very windy the day we went, seemed to whistle through the square. They had to take down the umbrellas.
It’s a great authentic Spanish tapas bar but unfortunately you seem to be only offered tapas if you are Spanish.
I bought several drinks here and wasn’t offered a tapas, despite everyone around me being given tapas with their drinks.
So, alas it seems, they have one rule for the locals and another for foreigners (guiris they call foreigners).
So, if you can overlook being discriminated against on the basis of being a foreigner, then it’s a great place to soak up typical Andalusian fayre and service.
Perdón por mi honesta valoración.
Fantastic tapas in all respects . The young man who waited almost single handed in the busiest times was outstanding and we thanked him personally for his welcoming attention. The prices are excellent and made our visit to this authentic place one if the highlights of a week in Almeria
Waiter was nervous at all times , the other bring the beer with their hands and ask you if you want a glass later. Food overpriced . Boquerones with marketplace chips . Ensalada Rusa regular . Not recomendable!
Great bar for casual tapas and drinks with friends, busy atmosphere and prompt friendly service, great tasting traditional tapas and good value for many.
Def among one of the best tapas bar in Almeria.

Nice place for recreation especially for the children. Clean and well maintained.
Very good park for kids ages 3-12 ,must see if you have kids and you visit Almeria.
Brilliant place for children amazing park even had a clown come and do a show. Cafes close by public toilets. The problem was getting the kids to leave 🤣
An amazing family park, entrance free of charge, open until late (cold season until 22 pm, warm season until midnight). Many different playgrounds of a large scale, very creative and original. Plenty of vegetation and water features. Various cafés around and in the park.
Beautiful park perfect for families with children and anyone that likes plants and strolling. There is exercise equipment too and places to enjoy a coffee inside the park.
Best part I saw in Almeria so far. Various good activities, lots of huge and safe slides and climbing ladders. Very good place. Some points are under construction
What a magical park for both children and adults to enjoy. Loads of interesting play areas to suit all abilities. Well done to the design team on this, really is one of the best parks our family have visited.

Teatro Cervantes - always a pleasure, we enjoyed different types of theater, concerts and even one time the Valentines Dinner, which we really enjoyed and looking forward to another offer like that!!!
But - always make sure to bring a warm jacket - it can be a bit cold during the show.
The prices for the drinks are adjusted to the environment 😉

Would have given 4 stars but the teatro really needs a refurbishment
Cool theatre, great bar outside, professional staff inside, recommended if you get the chance to go
OMG.. I had so much fun at Almeria feria.. The teatro had free concert the artist were great. I didn't want to leave.. Smell a bit musty.. Toilets are far on other floors so use the wash room or UVC beforehand. Overall spacious and the bars served well and fast..

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.

El Cable Inglés, also known as English Pier, is a historic railway pier in Almeria that was used to transport iron ore from the train station to cargo ships in the port. Built in 1904 by British engineers, this impressive iron-steel structure remained operational until 1973 and has since been declared a Cultural Heritage Site.
You can't come to Almeria and not visit this place. Because it's a gem, the location is excellent giving you the most amazing views of the port, the ferry boats, the sea, the beach and the city.
However, if you get nervous when up high then avoid it. It's like you're literally standing on top of the palm trees.
We came here on a Sunday afternoon and saw plenty of people coming and going, the top area is the most popular for taking pictures and videos.

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.

Great pizza for the budget. Staff had problem speaking English but we managed to communicate.
We previously have had good experiences in domino's in different areas.but on entering the tables were dirty ants crawling on the chairs. Toilets are filthy no locks on doors and kitchen didn't look much better.we left without eating.
The service is great and the prices are good. The only bad thing is the pizza. The crust is thick like pastry and has no taste.
The food and the service were really good. Jorge provided us with really good service. I would totally go back here again!!
Usual dominoes pizza that I like. Brand new premisis just refurbed yet there are ALWAYS flies in the place. I dont see how its possible. No wifi for customers so if you want to stop by and do some work, emails or let your friends know where you are you may as well be in the desert. Blue light to kill flies and customer wifi... straight up to 5 stars. Fix the basics, its 2017, flies on your food is bad. No wifi is annoying. Shame as the pizza is nice.
Wow this place was sooo dirty and unprofesional attitude of the staff. The entre place needs hygienically cleaning
The pizza was really delicious and Jorge provided us with a really good service.
Thanks Jorge! Thanks Domino's pizza!

Everything about this place was truly wonderful! The service was outstanding from start to finish. A special shout-out to Sofia – she was exceptionally professional, warm, and genuinely helpful with recommending dishes. Her attentive and friendly approach made my dining experience even more enjoyable.
The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The cozy atmosphere, paired with great background music, created the perfect setting for a relaxed evening.
Definitely a spot I’d love to return to. Highly recommended!
Anniversary dinner, visiting Almeria from Scotland for Xmas. Wonderful pasta dishes, beautiful decoration, friendly, helpful staff. Not much more you can ask from a restaurant. Wholeheartedly recommend, will return many times in the future hopefully.
This restaurant is amazing! We both oredered the Lomo Cosenza for dinner and Citron sorbet for desert.
The food were beyond tasty and it was very professionally plated. I actually tried to eat slower to make the meal last longer, and that says something.
The waitresses were nice, sadly only one of them understood some English, and this is is the only critique i have. If they knew that one in the staff knows English, they should send the same waitress to serve, as this makes the communication between guest and restaurant way easier. Instead i was met by a confused face when i tried to order, i understand that not everyone knows English as i do not know Spanish, but it would've been 5/5 in everything if this was thought of in the future.
I wish this restaurant the best, love from 2 Swedish guests! 🌹
The BEST pasta I have ever tasted!!! The taste was so rich and delicate you thought that you couldn't have enough of it and at the same time you don't want it to finish!
The people working there are great, super friendly, polite and helpful!
The food was amazing as always been a few times everytime we come to almeria service really good great atmosphere
We visited this restaurant for lunch today and had a very enjoyable meal. The food was fresh and tasty and our waiter José was very friendly and efficient.
Absolutely beyond what I expected. The waitron, Daniela, was absolutely amazing! So knowledgeable about her whole menu. The carbonara and the pepperoni pizza were so good! Price competitive to the best!

Tapas bar
Bar La Lupe is a popular spot that seamlessly blends Mexican and Mediterranean flavors to create a mouthwatering menu. From delectable tacos and burritos to a diverse range of Spanish tapas, this place offers an array of culinary delights. Despite its popularity leading to crowded conditions, the tasty cooking and quick service make it worth the visit. The bar's selection of around 10 tapas provides a unique taste experience, with options like mango chicken and mushroom tapas alongside traditional offerings.
Really nice place! The owner is very friendly and kind, the food is amazing and really fast, the overall atmosphere is super good. Everything amazing! I will definitely come back
Michelle B — Google review
Was excited to eat here but I wouldn’t go again. Service was kinda rude. Super expensive, our meal was €45 for 2.
Chilli con carne was delicious. Burritos were bad. Nachos were okay ( but €15 euro).
The beer was good quality, the male staff were helpful and friendly. Not a huge selection of tapas. We decided to order 2 tacos from their menu usung the QR code on the bar tables. The menu said each taco would be 2.70 euros but when we got the bill they charged 4euros for each taco. I pointed it out to the female staff member and she said it was because the menu was translated in English. I showed her the price was still 2.70 euros but she wasnt taking any notice. With the language barrier I gave up and paid the bill. 8 euros for 2 small tacos is a lot to pay. This spoilt our evening as I dont like being over charged.
Nice place, very kind people. Probably the only complain was because t get a Quesadilla you have to order a drink, Wich is 3 euros, but you get a tapa with it. Prices has raised since last time. From 3.5 € for a Quesadilla to 4.50 without a drink.
The best chilli ever 😍
Solid tapas bar with good real cocktails (margaritas, mojitos, etc.) I love the mango chicken and the mushroom tapas! Quesadillas are good and it’s nice to sit out on the patio. Definitely recommend if you want to try something that isn’t traditional Spanish food!!
Great Mexican / South American influenced tapas and beer
