10 Sights & Landmarks in Almeria That You Shouldn't Miss
Founded by the caliph of Cordoba, this Andalucian city on Spain’s southeast coast is a reminder of the region’s Muslim history. The Alcazaba, a massive fort, dominates the city and affords amazing views. Also worth experiencing are the cathedral and the Almeria Museum. East of the city is the rugged, desolate Cabo de Gata-Nijar coast, a protected area. To the west is the resort area of Roquetas de Mar, featuring vast beaches.

We spent over 2 hours wandering around and exploring this magnificent site. The gardens are beautiful, views from the towers stunning and overall this is a must see for anyone visiting Almeria. It is a steep climb and there are a lot of steps involved if you want to see all of the palace however, there are plenty of places where you can sit and rest for a while if you need to.

It's a small museum, it's free (no entrance fee), it's a nice location and you can leisurely walk trough it and watch some nice pictures from professional fotographers. There is no permanent collection (to my knowledge). Even the collectables in the small shop (like mugs) are cheap. If you're in the neighbourhood, just give it a go :-)

We visited the lighthouse on a coach trip to the national park. The views from the lighthouse of the Mediterranean were spectacular. We noticed when we were there that it is part of E.U. dark sky's project in the summer months. We would like to go back and see the stars.

We went to see the pier when visiting Almeria. It a very interesting piece of engineering. We are surprised that no one has thought of reinstating a heritage railway as I am certain that tourists would love to travel on an old train.
