Almeria is best known as the capital of Spain's grape industry. The landscaped squares are so magnificent that you can spend hours just sitting and observing. Enjoying a Spanish snack while relaxing in one of the squares is a cherished pastime for locals and tourists alike. All the boulevards in Almeria are lined with gorgeous trees, creating shade and a crisp, clean atmosphere.

Almeria has remained relatively unchanged over the decades. It is still comprised of a maze of narrow, side-winding alleyways, which are laced with small, flat-roofed houses. Modern apartment structures have been added to the suburbs because of a recent increase in tourism. But the older architecture, comprised of beautiful white homes, creates a distinctly Andalusian ambiance within the city. The buildings and religious structures of the city are amazingly well-crafted, and a walking tour of Almeria is great fun.
