The easternmost Andalusian capital dominates a coastline dotted with almost virgin beaches and an interior marked by peculiar semideserted ecosystems. Formerly one of the most important ports in the Caliphate of Cordoba, Almería reveals its Alcazaba (citadel) and its cathedral, on the shores of the Mediterranean. Narrow streets with whitewashed façades are elements of its picturesque historic quarter. In addition to history and culture, Almería offers beaches, mountain and coastal nature reserves and a gastronomy that will make this journey unforgettable.

| The sea is present in this city's cuisine and for this reason delicious Mediterranean fish are the major ingredient of fritters, grills and casseroles. Worthy of note is the truly exceptional pink shrimp. The Arab influence in the local cuisine is evidenced by the use of certain ingredients and spices, specially in pastry recipes. | |
