About Almería, Costa Almeria

Almería has lot to offer any visitor, being one of the great Moorish cities, it has many beautiful buildings to admire and explore as well as offering more modern facilities. Walking down Paseo de Almería in the morning will bring you out into a bustling market place, where the locals haggle for fresh produce. Or if you head towards Calle de las Tiendas, which is one of Almería’s oldest streets, you can hammer the credit card in the shops. If you happen to be in Almeria at the end of August you can join in the fun of their annual festival that promises to be a night to be remembered.

Owner's Tips...

On top of the hill is an stunning Renaissance castle an extension of the original Moorish alcazaba, which was built by the Marquises of Vélez Blanco in the early 16th century. These days, it is something of a trompe l'oeil, with an empty shell behind the battlements. This gutting took place in 1904, after the castle was sold to an American millionaire, George Bluementhal, who proceeded to tear out the interior including the Patio de Honor - a fabulous courtyard carved in white marble by Italian craftsmen. The lot was then unceremoniously shipped off to the USA where it has since been reconstructed inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The castle's interior only has fragments of the original decoration and, given the Met's reluctance to return its dubiously acquired prize exhibit, there are now plans to carry out a complete reconstruction of the original using marble from the nearby quarries of Macael.
