Almeria City Holidays

Almeria City at a glance

Due to its unspoilt landscape, the coast of Almeria is popular with backpackers and nature lovers alike. The area is sparsely populated and the landscape is very desert-like, receiving less than 200mm of rain a year. To overcome the problems caused by a lack of fertile soil and with a rugged landscape, an extensive irrigation system has been installed, making it possible to grow good quality grapes and oranges, which are mainly exported to the rest of Europe. A desert landscape is not always a bad thing, however, because with so much open space, the range of holidays in Almeria City and the surrounding area is almost limitless. The most popular activities include horseback riding, water sports, hiking and golf and that is just for starters.

Holidays in Almeria City – Pleasant and Modern
The city itself is quite a modern place that offers visitors a relaxing holiday. Thanks to its mixed background of settlers, the Romans, Carthaginians and Moors, tourists are able to experience a rich variety of history and culture during their Almeria city holidays.

Handcrafted Coral and Endless Beaches
Just west of Almeria City is the town of Adra. There, visitors will find a fortress located on a hill that overlooks the town. Inside, the walls and towers still stand, as does an 18th century church. The more modern side of the city enables holidaymakers to enjoy the yacht club and sport harbour, along with the endless beaches and coastal lagoons that are home to a variety of species of birds. If you are looking for an unusual gift to remind you of your Almeria City holiday, the town is famous for its handmade coral work.
