What to do and see in Almeria, Andalucia: The Best Hidden Gems Things to do

February 2, 2022 Myesha Cogley

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.

El Cabo a Fondo

Boat trips in Cabo de Gata Natural Park El Cabo a Fondo offers boat trips in Cabo de Gata Natural Park, with the possibility of seeing inaccessible places, 200 meter high rugged cliffs where seagulls "float", cormorants dive, terns (charranes) plunge and one of the outlandish spectacles of nature: shoals of flying fish that jump out of the water and literally fly on the surface (this can only be seen during migration). Also we will see volcanic sand beaches that form dunes that delve into the mountain range, rocks with layers of different colors, textures with ghostly forms and caves in the sea where the pale billhook nests..., A magical landscape that still resists the pressure of urbanization that damages the majority of the Mediterranean coast.

Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata

Reviewed By PSHTraveler - Middlebury, United States

We have always wanted to visit Cabo de Gata and finally had our chance. We don't have a car while visiting Spain, so booked a tour with Costa Almeria Tours, highly recommended! (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187429-d12500803-Reviews-Costa_Almeria_Tours-Almeria_Province_of_Almeria_Andalucia.html) The scenery is stunning, but we were surprised to find so much variety -- beautiful inland landscapes, historic sites, fishing villages, flamingos, excellent restaurants, and so on. We had only one day and hope we can return for a longer visit!

Museo Refugio de la Guerra Civil

The network of sherlters meant the excavation of 2.80 miles of underground galleries, at more 29 feet deep, and 67 manholes for access. This system protected about 35,000 poeple out of a total of aproximately 50,000 inhabitants the city had those years. The main tunnel of the refuge goes underneath the "Paseo de Almeria", with a main passage six and a half feet wide and two benches along each side for seating. The Refuge of Almeria has become Europe's largest opne to the public in the present day. Its recovery as a cultural and historical element, its symbolism as witness to the Spanish Civil War, and its architectural-engineering value, place this works as one of the most important built in Almeria during the twentieth century, as well as it constitutes one of the most significant elements of the cultural heritage and historical memory of the city. The visit takes one hour, always in a guided tour in spanish, but we star the visit with a video with english subtitles.

We arrived for 10am, had not prebooked tickets so unsure if we could join the group. Luckily, we joined the group and made our way down the tunnels. Incredible these were hand dug by the local people for the civil war refugees, and after, it was used for the WW2 bombardment. They are fairly well lit, and do not feel really closed-in. 35,000 people sheltered in the tunnels, just incredible that they could find safety here. There is an operating theatre and medical room, also a store room and some others that are unavailable to enter. It is a good walk, about 1km with the tour guide explaining as you go. The tour is only in Spanish currently, however the guide was really helpful talking to us after, and if we had any questions along the way. The re-enactment of the bombardment through the lighting & speakers made it seem almost real! It must have been very frightening, but also a sense of safety and unity. Well worth a visit.
