Almería information
Almería is the 'orchard' of Europe. The sea and the desert coexist with the most fertile and productive vegetable garden on the continent. Here you can naturally harvest all kinds of greens and vegetables. But the province of Almería also has more than 100 kilometers of untamed coastline on the shores of the Mediterranean. It is well known for its extensive languages of virgin beaches with fine sand, hidden coves and majestic cliffs that run along the coast of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park. The seabed of these beaches is ideal, together with that of Tarifa (Cádiz), for scuba diving.
Nudist complexes and hotel developments emerge along its coast. Parallel to the coast, inland, runs the Tabernas desert, once a filming set for American western films. The capital of Almería has 201,000 inhabitants. In Almeria cuisine, products from the sea and the land coexist. Stews are the strong point of gastronomy and migas the most typical dish. Intensive agriculture (greenhouses), tourism and sectors linked to logistics activity are the economic boosters of a province whose real estate sector is in full expansion.
