1. A lot of history
Almeria is known for its fantastic representation of Paleolithic cave art. But also for being the cradle of two of the first cultures of the West, the Millares and the Argar.
2. Other Mediterranean
The typical Mediterranean green and blue, in Almeria turns yellow and blue. In the natural park of Cabo de Gata it acquires its maximum originality due to its ancient volcanology.
3. 2. 1. ¡Action!
The contemporary history of Almeria cannot be understood without the relationship with mining and cinema. This desert region is a true open-pit film set.
Almeria is not the typical Andalusia, it is an original, humble land with its own character.
A special accent and an idiosyncrasy that is far from western Andalusia. In Almeria you will find unique traditions, its own flamenco songs, original gastronomy, a very particular history and, above all, a very authentic geological and biological landscape. It is a very mountainous, mining, volcanic and fighting land, bathed in sunshine almost all year round and surrounded by a wide variety of Mediterranean blues.
320 days of sun
The average number of sunny days per year in Almeria is 320 days. It is an arid region for the most part, which gives it a special uniqueness and a mild climate ideal for enjoying the open spaces throughout the year.
Tabernas Desert
Known for being a great film set, the Tabernas Desert is a unique natural space in Europe for being one of the most diverse ecosystems on the continent.
Cabo de Gata (Cape)
In this natural park you will enjoy spectacular volcanic landscapes, basalt cliffs with unique reefs, black sand beaches and turquoise waters, clean and transparent.
Geology and mining
From north to south, Almeria is a mining province where you can enjoy geology. The most spectacular find is in the recently discovered Pulpí Geode.
Andalusi past
Almeria's commerce and culture flourished between the 10th and 11th centuries. The remains of that time are still located in some parts of the city, but it is in the Alcazaba where we will appreciate it better.
A pirate story
For centuries Almeria fought against the attacks of the Berber pirates. Watchtowers and bastions were erected facing the sea that today bear witness to a distant past.Explore the possibilities

Are you going to show us the real Almeria or just the most touristy sights?
Our priority is to show you the authenticity and genuineness of each destination in Andalusia.
We also understand that there are cases when a monument or a neighbourhood is touristy and there is a good reason for it. In such cases you may not want to miss it.What is included?
Within each of the guided tours you will find a section indicating what is included and what is not included in each experience. If you still have any questions, please contact us and we will answer them immediately.
Can we start at a different time than indicated in the booking widget?
Normally our guided tours have a specific starting time as they are designed and coordinated with the opening hours of monuments or places visited during the tour.
If you prefer to start at a different time we recommend you to contact us and we will do our best to adapt to your preferences.Can you pick us up at the accommodation?
The pick-up service from the accommodation is only included in our excursions. If you are going on a private tour and would like the guide to pick you up directly from the hotel or flat where you are staying, there is an additional cost. Remember to indicate this during the booking process.
Is the price high?
As you may have noticed, we do not offer free tours. Our commitment is focused on offering you an exclusive and quality service through a private tour where a local, accredited and highly qualified guide will be accompanying you and will show you without haste the most outstanding and genuine of the destination you are visiting.
Do minors also pay?
There are different prices depending on the age of the children. Children under the age of 3 are free of charge, youngsters between 4 and 15 years old have a reduced price and those over 15 years old are considered adults.
What is this about the ecological quota?
We collaborate with various non-profit associations dedicated to the reforestation and replanting of natural areas in Andalusia. When you sign up for one of our experiences you are contributing an ecological fee equivalent to the purchase of a one year old plant. This contribution is invested in the purchase of seedlings, seeds and working material. The associations are in charge of reforesting and nurturing our future forests. Learn more about the project in this link.
Is it necessary to print a voucher or receipt?
Although it is compulsory to show the booking voucher you have received by email, it is not necessary to bring the printed voucher with you. In fact we prefer that you display it in digital format therefore contributing to the care of the environment.
Is there a return option?
Most of our private tours in Almeria can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours in advance.
If it is an activity that includes the purchase of tickets, for example to monuments, this involves cancellation costs as we can recover these amounts already paid in advance.

Live Almeria
“Because it has neither Giralda nor Alhambra. Because it does not try to cover itself with clothes or ornaments. Because it is a naked, true land.”
