Almeria half-day self-guided visit
Let the ancient city of Almeria quietly win you over with its palm-lined boulevards, sun-drenched squares and laidback Mediterranean lifestyle. You'll have half a day to spend as you wish. Stumbling across hidden churches is all part of the charm of the old town, where glimpses into courtyards tempt you onwards and shaded tables in plazas invite you to pause.For a taste of Almeriense life, duck down a side street and pull up a chair at a traditional tapas bar. Almeria is famous for its wonderfully informal tapas culture, where the menus are hand-written on the wall and the offering can change daily, based on what's fresh. For a truly local experience, ask ‘Qué hay hoy?' – ‘What's good today?' – and trust the owners to look after you.Seeing the Alcazaba, one of Spain's largest Moorish fortresses, is a must. You can't miss the 16th-century cathedral that dominates the city skyline and was built as both a place of worship and a fortress to protect people from pirate raids. Whether you spend your visit soaking up the history, browsing the boutiques, or staring out over the city's enviable waterfront, we'll see you get there and back safely with faff-free transfers.
