What to expect

Embark on a guided tour to explore the extraordinary underground galleries designed by architect Guillermo Langle Rubio, reaching a depth of 9 meters, to safeguard human lives during the bombings of the Spanish Civil War. Within this extensive network spanning 4.5 kilometers, you will focus on the recovered section of nearly 1 kilometer, which coincides with the bustling Paseo de Almeria.

You will hear about the historical context of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) that profoundly marked the country's history. While Almería did not directly experience the war as the last city governed by the Second Republic, it endured the impact of 52 bombings targeting military, strategic, and even civilian sites.

Against this backdrop of war, the resilient citizens of Almeria took initiative. You will discover how they united to construct underground shelters and actively cooperated in their implementation, demonstrating their determination to protect lives during times of alarm.

Mojacar and Carboneras cruise
Excursions & day trips

Mojacar and Carboneras cruise

This tour combines two of Almeria's top attractions – the Cabo de Gata Nature Reserve and the historic hilltop village of Mojacar. You'll cruise off the coast of the nature reserve and then head by coach to Mojacar, one of the prettiest pueblos in eastern Andalusia. As one of our local guides puts it, “Cabo de Gata is where Almeria shows its wild side – it's still the same coastline our grandparents knew, untouched and full of stories.” It's a day that blends raw nature with centuries of human history.Sailing from the port of Carboneras, the boat trip offers great views of Cabo de Gata Nature Reserve – the largest protected coastal area in Spain. From the water, you'll really appreciate its dramatic volcanic landscape as you glide past hidden coves, imposing cliffs and pretty, unspoilt beaches that are difficult to reach by land. You'll also see the enticing Playa de los Muertos – though it means ‘Beach of the Dead', it's more a case of a beach to die for, and it regularly ranks among Spain's most beautiful beaches.Then it's time for Mojacar itself. A guided tour will give you the lowdown on its long history – it's believed to have been settled some 4,000 years ago – as you wander through winding alleys lined with whitewashed homes and bursts of colour from flower-filled balconies. Along the way, you'll see key landmarks such as the Moorish fountain, the old city gate and St Mary's church. And on the return journey, you'll pass through the impressive Tabernas desert.
