Almeria lies along the Mediterranean Sea. That means that spending a day at the beach comes with the territory. Along the west coast are the Poniente beaches, some isolated and quiet, while others are bustling with life.

Like the rest of Spain, Almeria celebrates Semana Santa (Holy Week), and it is always memorable. Almeria Carnival is very colorful and proudly shows the rich culture of Almeria through live and traditional performances throughout the celebration.

- Unspoiled Beaches. The lack of development and the protected nature of the coastline means that the beaches at Almeria are some of the most pristine in the Mediterranean.
- Cabo De Gata National Park. The National Park in Andalucia has the only desert in Europe, along with the lowest recorded rainfall on the continent of Europe.
- Tapas. You cannot come to Southern Spain and not sample the local tapas tradition. In Almeria, one of the best Andalusian cities to visit, it has developed to a point where when you buy a drink at a taverna, you never know what might come with it.
- Alcazaba Fort. The Alcazaba Fort was begun in 955, its walls protecting the local seat of power, a mosque, and the soldiers required to defend the region.
