Hotels in Almería

What to see in Almería

Choosing a hotel in Almería is a great idea to enjoy a fantastic holiday. In fact, the region’s wonderful climate, with an average annual temperature of 19ºC (66ºF), allows its visitors to enjoy all of its attractions throughout the year.

In terms of its cultural heritage, its location, open towards the Mediterranean Sea, and its 103 towns make Almería a place rich with history which goes back as far as the Stone Age, since you can find archaeological sites in the region such as Los Vélez and Los Millares.

Later in time, other civilisations such as the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Christians also populated the region, leaving a great legacy behind such as the Alcazaba Monumental Site, the largest citadel built by the Arabs in Spain; and the fortress-cathedral in Almería, which is also worth visiting.

This unique Gothic-style construction with a Renaissance-style facade dates back to the Seventeenth century and it was designed as a fortress to defend the city from attacks perpetrated by Berber pirates, which is why it has its peculiar shape. Also, the shelters from the Spanish Civil War are also a popular attraction, congregating visitors who wish to discover this underground city which protected the population from air raids during the war.

Furthermore, hotels in Almería are not just popular amongst tourists for the area’s interesting historical heritage but also for another of its strongest points: its cuisine.

Gastronomy in Almería, although based on the Mediterranean diet, is quite unique in itself thanks to the mixture of cultures from its history. For this reason, fish and seafood are two of its main features, including fresh and tasty products such as the Garrucha red shrimp. On the other hand, you can also find succulent stews such as migas, gurullos (pasta stew), Arab soup, olla fresca (vegetable stew), fideos aparte (noodle stew), trigo (wheat) and ajo colorao (potatoes and dry peppers). Furthemore, Almería has a long tradition of tapas which will allow you to sample any of these delicious dishes and a drink at a great price.
