🤔 BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO ALMERÍA

We advise you to plan your trip for late spring, summer and early autumn, when you can take a dip in the beaches and coves of the park.

✔ WHAT TO DO IN ALMERÍA

Turquoise waters, marine life, rich gastronomy, white villages, and above all, tranquility on the shores of the Mediterranean are just some of the things that await you. Cabo de Gata: Its landscapes seem otherworldly. Slopes of small hills covered only in shrubs plunge down to the sea on their other side, forming cliffs and seemingly impossible, practically inaccessible coves. Just 30 km north of the capital, you'll find a unique landscape to see in Almería. You can feel completely alone while exploring the Tabernas Desert. The starry nights here are incredible, and, as an interesting tidbit, scenes from the famous series Game of Thrones were filmed in the Tabernas Desert .

🌮 YOU CAN'T LEAVE ALMERÍA WITHOUT TRYING IT

Chérigan is one of Almería's most typical dishes. It's served as a tapa or appetizer and consists of a slice of toasted bread spread with aioli, although some people spread the bread with tomato instead. Another must-try dish is Almería soup, also known as Bouillabaisse, a broth made with various types of fish, primarily monkfish, white prawns, and clams. During cooking, ingredients such as peas, onions, peppers, carrots, bay leaves, mayonnaise, and salt are added .
