Sea on the southeastern coast of Spain, it is obvious that the province's name derives from the ancient Arabic word for "The Mirror of the Sea." The capital of Almer�a is located in the city. The city was founded in 955 AD by Arab leaders.

Almeria was once an autonomous state, which was rich in the silk trade, but over the years was established under Spanish rule. The discovery of iron mines in the region have led to its importance in the 18th century. Almeria set as a prosperous region under Spanish rule until the Spanish Civil War, when the region was under a severe bombardment of the German air and navy, and was one of the last regions of Spain go to the national government, General Franco. Since the mid-20th century, Almeria flourished again because of extensive tourism and agriculture.

Almeria Port handles shipping companies in the North African coast, and there are many opportunities for the harbor cruise in the marina, so keep that in mind. Almeria International Airport is the fourth largest airport in the region of Andalusia. The airport is accessible by highway-7, which is derived from AT-17 dual carriageway. Airport serves many European destinations through a number of practitioners.

Moj�car is probably now the largest resort on the coast of Almeria, but has not lost its charm - the narrow streets of the city are still white. The Moorish fortress called the arcs of Luciana is a must is a trip to the beaches of Playa de los Genoveses and Monsul beach.

Because of its location, the region has a prestigious film due to the creation of many Hollywood movies Spaghetti Western in the region, with the filming of "Lawrence of Arabia".

Almeria is: Not many people know who performed the Beatle John Lennon wrote the wonderful "Strawberry Fields Forever," while World War II shooting a film in Almer�a in 1966! Today there is a monument to the talent of Liverpool plays his guitar on the "Rambla" in the city of Almeria.

If you enjoy a mix of city and beach, there are few better choices than Almeria. Located in the heart of Andalucia, on the coast, enjoys a warmer and drier interest in Spain and cultural city in the long stretch of nearby beach, which has much to offer visitors. I have a lot of transport from Almeria airport and back, and I rarely heard a bad word said against the city! I also was informed and explore some of the highlights of the city - here are some you should not miss the next time you're in Almer�a.

Tourist attractions of the city and surrounding areas

The highlight of Almeria is most striking is the Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress on a cliff overlooking the magnificent city, and is the second largest. The fortress is a remnant of the Moorish heritage Almeria, as the city's name in Arabic means "mirror" as a "mirror of the sea."

But it is not surprising Almeria once. The imposition of the Catholic cathedral, which dates from the 16th century, is an obvious need. The old town with its traditional market and its winding streets is always a big hit with visitors, and his version of La Rambla can not be as big or as famous as almeria, ​​but it is a great place to stroll along and immediately a sunny afternoon.

I also recommend paying a visit to the gypsy quarter, its unique cave dwellings is really a strange sight to see, and you can get more information on the history of mixed Almeria in the Archaeological Museum. The city has a great story to tell - it was established as a Moorish fortress town, and his time was conquered by the Christians attacked by Barbary pirates and bombed by the Germans in the Spanish Civil War!

The picturesque town of Mojacar, near Almeria, is definitely worth visiting. Mojacar has a long history spanning 4000 years and was inhabited by the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Greeks and Moors. It was during the reign Moor he really started to bloom, an impressive castle was built and the city walls were expanded and strengthened. However, there is a Muslim city center in a Christian country has suffered many brutal incursions and I am always ready to regale me with stories of tourists during the journey from the airport of Almeria.

Mojacar is now home to over 17 km of sandy beaches and places of interest include the Iglesia de Santa Maria, a 14 century fortress and the Old Customs House, where visitors were imposed during the 18th century for the pleasure of visiting the city. I want to make a tidy profit in my Almeria airport transfers if this procedure was still in force today.

Beautiful kitchen

I am often asked to drive to the picturesque town of Roquetas to carry out my Almer�a airport transfers and is very difficult not to stop the car and run in one of the restaurants in the city of delicious seafood. Visitors often ask me to recommend a local dish, and without fail, I always suggest the specialty areas of lobster and rice. The city is known for its cuisine and two archaic fishing traditions seems particularly appropriate to recommend a seafood platter

Enjoy the sun

Every time I drive people from the airport to the city of Almeria, I am always sure to mention that the main beach of the city is almost entirely nude. For some people, it will be an added attraction in Almeria - for others, it will be a rather embarrassing, they prefer to avoid! This is a beautiful beach (very nice people on it!), But if you prefer to tan more conservatively, a visit to one of the stations nearby (see nearby attractions) would be ideal.

However, if you do not mind the idea of ​​baring all, then resort of Vera Playa is for you. Vera Playa is the world's most famous nudist resort, and is home to more than 2,000 homes for nudists and naturists to a four-star hotel. Even the streets of Vera Playa is no clothes-free zones, which can take some getting used too!

Places of interest nearby

There is plenty to keep you busy in Almeria itself, but there are a lot of rooms if you want to explore the surrounding areas. The Andalusian coast is full of ideal destination, where the Aguadulce, Almerimar and Mojacar in the east to the west. All of them are excellent options if you want to visit a traditional beach resort in the city, many of my airport Almeria passengers have chosen to combine a couple of days in the same city a break from the coastal resorts. And if cities are more your thing, a vibrant and diverse Granada is just hours away - you ask me well, and I could only give a discount when I drive out there!
