Almeria City - Five Fascinating Facts
Almeria was, until recently, the last well-known of Andalucia's provincial capitals. These days, however, thanks to the growing popularity of the province's beaches, especially nearby Cabo de Gata and its natural park, more visitors are getting to know Andalucia's fastest-growing major city. It remains, for now at least, largely uncommercialised - Andalucia before the tourists arrived - and is known as a 'rough diamond', a relaxed place with surprisingly good nightlife.
Almeria is the most African of Andalucia's port cities (Huelva, Cadiz, Malaga) - it is sometimes called 'an extension of Morocco'.
