Almeria

Spain

Almería is a port city in Andalusia, on Spain's southeastern Mediterranean coast. It grew wealthy under Moorish rule, and the vast Alcazaba fortress still dominates the city from its hilltop. Attractions include the Alcazaba, the fortified Gothic-Renaissance cathedral, the old Moorish quarter, the cable-entrance shelters of the Spanish Civil War, and excursions to the desert landscapes and film locations of the Tabernas Desert and the beaches of Cabo de Gata Natural Park.
