Almeria

An arid coast in southeast Spain, where volcanic bays, desert wastelands, and Western movie sets form a unique landscape.

Almeria is located at the eastern end of Andalusia along the Mediterranean coast, featuring a dry climate with abundant sunshine. The volcanic coastline around Cabo de Gata boasts bays like Mónsul, Genoveses, and Los Muertos, alongside a lighthouse and the Arrecife de las Sirenas; inland, the Tabernas Desert has served as a filming location for numerous Western films, with Mini Hollywood (Oasys) and Fort Bravo studios still open today. The Alcazaba of Almería and the Cathedral witness history since the Moorish era, and the white village of Mojácar is also worth a visit. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable, while summer is ideal for beaches. The gateway is Almería Airport.
