Tourism in Almeria

Almería is a province of southern Spain. It is bordered by the provinces of Granada, Murcia, and the Mediterranean Sea. Its capital is Almería.The desert landscape and climate that characterizes part of the province have made it an ideal setting for Western films, especially during the 1960s. Because of the demand for these locations, quite a number of Western towns were built near the Desert of Tabernas. Films such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and A Fistful of Dollars were shot here. Years later the film of 800 Bullets was filmed in the same place. Large sections of Lawrence of Arabia and Patton were shot there as well.

The nature of Almeria amazes with surprising contrasts - here there are also km of beaches from light grey sand and the majestic rocky massifs smoothly going down to the sea or abruptly breaking.  A soft Mediterranean climate is characteristic for this resort , throughout all year clear solar weather prevails here.

The Almeria sung by poets is not in vain called the mistress of the sun. It loves it and caresses, as any other corner of Europe.
