One of the warmest places in continental Europe is the Spanish southeast and the historical region of Andalusia located here. The bulk of tourists from different countries, including Russia, who choose tours to Spain in the fall, are sent to these fertile places that guarantee sunny warmth in the autumn months. And the most visited city in this area of the country is Almeria - the capital of the province of the same name..
Almeria is a modern city with a population of about 190 thousand inhabitants, which is located on the Mediterranean coast, in a favorable climatic zone, characterized by a consistently warm, if not hot, and rather dry climate. It is estimated that the number of days a year when the southern sun shines over this resort town reaches 340. And, of course, this unique circumstance simply cannot but attract an army of thousands of tourists from all over Europe..
The natural landscapes of Andalusia combine the azure freshness of the Mediterranean Sea and a somewhat semi-desert landscape that seems more suitable for the Middle East or North Africa. Along the entire coastline of this resort, the sea water is amazingly clear. And local sandy beaches, many of which have not yet been fully explored, will certainly delight travelers with their virgin nature and purity..
Almeria is considered a relatively young resort, the systematic development of which is designed for the long term. If we take into account some of the natural features of the resort, the cost of services and well-organized service, then this resort center looks very attractive right now. Although, of course, today among Russians, tours to the Costa del Sol without excursions are much more popular.
In the vicinity of Almeria, there are many places that will appeal to fans of outdoor activities. Hiking, cycling or horseback riding, entertaining excursions in picturesque surroundings and acquaintance with natural monuments will cause the most positive impressions in the soul of any traveler. The coastal waters of Almeria are ideal for romantic sailing trips and fun diving.
On the sunny beaches of the Spanish resort, you can get a great natural tan, and just really relax, forgetting about all the pressing problems. Among the main attractions of Almeria, it is worth noting the city's Cathedral, erected on the site of the Arab mosque El Medina, and the well-preserved complex of the ancient fortress Alcazaba. In the old troubled times, this structure served as the protection of the city..
There are many other interesting places in the city that should be visited by tourists, for example, in the monastery of San Domingo you can see a magnificent statue of the Blessed Virgin of the Sea, she is the patroness of Almeria. For thousands of guests who come to Almeria every year, comfortable conditions have been created for living, good rest, playing sports, improving the body and just having a pleasant pastime.
There are many restaurants, bars and cafes in the city, and in the evening the doors of nightclubs and discos open, where you can have fun in a relaxed atmosphere. As in any Spanish city or on the island of Ibiza, a vacation in Almeria is simply impossible to imagine without delicious dishes of national Spanish cuisine, which perfectly combine piquancy and satiety. Leaving the hospitable resort, you will take away many pleasant memories!
