Hotels in Almeria — What to Expect
For a taste of Spain’s sunniest corner, look to Almeria. This is a city of dramatic contrasts, where the vast, silent landscapes of the Tabernas Desert—Europe’s only true desert—meet the sparkling Mediterranean. The immense Alcazaba fortress, a sprawling Moorish citadel, watches over the whitewashed old town, while the modern waterfront promenade, the Paseo Marítimo, is perfect for an evening stroll. Film buffs can explore the nearby Mini Hollywood, a legacy of the spaghetti westerns shot right here.
The city centre around the Puerta de Purchena is ideal for those who want to be close to tapas bars and historic sites, while the beachside neighbourhood of El Zapillo offers a more relaxed, coastal feel. Almeria works well for couples and solo travellers seeking authentic culture and great food, with easy connections via its international airport and high-speed train links to Granada and Madrid.
On HOTEVI, you’ll find 67 places to stay in and around the city. Accommodation is refreshingly straightforward, dominated by good-value city hotels and functional business-style options, with a few charming boutique choices tucked into the old quarter. A handful of larger resort hotels sit along the coast towards the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park.
