Located in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, on the shores of the Mediterranean. Almeria has a coastline with 200 Km. of beaches, stretching from Pulpí in the east to Adra in the west. It descends from the Sierra de Gádor mountains until it joins the Mediterranean sea in some exceptionally beautiful beaches.
Places to go and things to see in the city of Almeria include the Alcazaba, Cathedral and many museums and art galleries.
If considering visiting the Alcazaba of Almería, keep in mind that the monument is 25,000m² and there are quite a few very steep inclines.
The Cathedral is a unique example of a cathedral-fortress from the seventeenth century, of Gothic construction and Renaissance façades.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1524, after the earthquake that destroyed the first in 1522, which was located in the Medina, above the Great Mosque.
Attractions in this area worth a visit include the historic white village of Mojacar on the coast of Almeria, with its rich culture and Moorish past and The Alhambra Palace in Granada, one of Andalucía’s most visited attractions.
