Once you have caught your breath climbing the steps - be prepared to be enthralled at the castle and gardens

We visited the Alcazaba on a quite Sunday morning. So we had the possibility to look around very relaxed. As a bonus you get a nice view from above of the town of Almeria. Because our grandchildren enjoy very much the Flemish film " Mega Mindy en het zwarte kristal", of which parts are filmed in the Alcazaba, we were... More

Not as spectacular as the Alhambra but free of charge for EU citizens and worth a look around, especially the gardens that are calming an cooling on a hot day.

We would recommend taking plenty of water if going during... More

We went with our 2 boys aged 3 and 6 and they loved exploring the different areas and pretending they were knights. We couldn't believe it was free entry. It was very quiet and really pleasant to walk around. I... More
