Do & See
A rewarding stroll around Almería's city centre is rewarding. Begin from Puerta de Purchena through the labyrinthine streets of the historic quarter. Then, continue to its busy port via colonnaded squares and the fortified Cathedral. Along the way, you can stop for a coffee or a glass of Spanish wine. Do not miss the lively food market just off the Rambla.
