La Almunya del Sur is a Moorish style farm, composed of a rustic traditional house, that gives way to the garden-orchard. This garden-orchard tries to make the most of the available natural resources. The fruit trees, mainly citrus, associated with exotic and aromatic plants, create a respectful and environmentally sustainable balance. Water, as an essential element, is present everywhere in th

We spent over 2 hours wandering around and exploring this magnificent site. The gardens are beautiful, views from the towers stunning and overall this is a must see for anyone visiting Almeria. It is a steep climb and there are a lot of steps involved if you want to see all of the palace however, there are plenty of places where you can sit and rest for a while if you need to.

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!
5. Museo Refugio de la Guerra Civil
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 894 reviews
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.

Like everyone is saying, it’s a beautiful beach but it’s a 10-15 min walk down a rocky path. I walked our baby down using a sling but we took the folding pram down for shade. The beach slopes off quite fast but it’s lovely to swim, the water looked so clean irrespective of the giant industrial site just off one end of the beach. We parked along the side of the road leading to the car park nearer the beach. Didn’t buy a ticket but noticed a sign about parking when we got back to our car later on. It’s early October so we were fine. The guy selling drinks from a cool bag must be so fit walking up and down the shingle beach and rocky path all day.

We walked to this from the Cabo de Gata Lighthouse. The scenery was stunning on the walk so it was worth the effort to get to this on foot. Not too many people around so it was very quiet and peaceful. There is a car park so I can imagine it would get very busy in peak season.

We visited the lighthouse on a coach trip to the national park. The views from the lighthouse of the Mediterranean were spectacular. We noticed when we were there that it is part of E.U. dark sky's project in the summer months. We would like to go back and see the stars.

I visited this beach as I had seen a review that said it does not get many waves. Last Tuesday, 10/09 it was windy and all the beaches with the Cabo de Gata Nature Park had many waves, so I gambled a 30 minute drive and sure enough, this playa was calm as a duck pond. Dogs are allowed so we made our way to the shoreline and set up camp. The water was crystal clear and so so warm, far warmer than the western Costa del Sol where I had come from. Fabulous place. Will visit again when not as windy!

We really enjoyed the visit at the Mina Rica mine where the tour takes 1,5 hours. Our guide, Laura, was really helpful and she knew everything about mining and minerals. After the visit to the mine, don’t miss the visit to the castle with an inside virtual reality visit to the geoda. It really complements the visit to the mine. I highly recommend the experience and the beaches nearby.
