 You can find Almeria in the south eastern corner of Spain. It's a little confusing but Almeria the City is in the Province of Almeria which in total covers around 8000 sq km and is in the Andalucia region.
The region of Almeria has a population of some 420,000 people whilst the capital City of the same name has a population of around 150,000.
Almeria is the hottest part of Andalucia and one of the driest. The inland areas have an eerie almost moon like feel which over the years has been the setting for many films including the Spaghetti westerns, a Fistful of Dollars and The Good The Bad And The Ugly.
The main commerce of Almeria is its huge production of Fruits, Flowers and Vegetables with this sub tropical climate producing all kinds of different products.
Tourism in the Costa Almeria is no where near as big as it is on the Costa del Sol but Almeria Airport has just started receiving a number of flights from several 'low cost' airlines and this is making traveling to the area a whole lot easier.
The largest coastal resorts are Roquetas de Mar and Mojacar. In fact Mojacar is home to Almeria's largest ex-pat population.
The actual City of Almeria is steeped in history from Spain's Arabic period with a large Arab Fortress, Alcazaba being the main attraction.
The Province of Almeria is worth exploring and is off the main tourist track, this gives you a real flavour of Spain and the opportunity to enjoy some excellent year round weather.
Without doubt the best way to get around Almeria is by having your own hire car and we would recommend that you collect the car from the Airport at Almeria.
