If you happen to be in Almería or surroundings, the Alcazaba complex has some lovely, reconstructed Arabic Gardens, right in the lower terraces of the monument. Plus the views of the city, the mountains and the Bahía are simply the best Almería can offer. Just avoid getting there between noon and 17:00 during summertime (which in Almería is late May-October!) More

Almeria is very untouched by tourism and this is never more apparent than a visit to the Alcazaba. No queues, free entry and no hassle when you walk around. Fairly easy to get to; follow the signs through the streets. The walk up the steps to the top of the castle is wonderful and the grounds are immaculate. Water cascades... More
