Almeria, Sierra de Filabres & Tabernas
Almeria is the most easterly province of Andalucia.
The area is known for its beautiful beaches such
as the “Playa de Monsul” and the “Playa
de los Genoveses” near San Jose in the “Cabo de Gata”
Natural Park.
Here is the only desert in Europe, the “Desierto
de Tabernas” near Tabernas. Between
the fifties and seventies, they filmed many spaghetti
westerns here, because of its’ resemblance to the
landscape of the Wild West of America.
The eastern part of the Sierra Nevada is part of
the Almería province.
Almeria has a large port and the
old Alcazaba, the city castle, towers
above the city.
Almería is the driest province
of Spain with less than 200mm annual rainfall

over 3000 hours per year. The average annual temperature
is 18.7 degrees.
