Primer Recinto de la Alcazaba de Almeria
Historical landmark
👍👍 La Alcazaba se asienta sobre un cerro aislado, de planta alargada, que va descendiendo suavemente desde la cota de 95 metros en dirección Oeste-Este. Este cerro queda circunscrito, al Norte por el Barranco de la Hoya y el Cerro de San Cristóbal, a levante por la Rambla de Gomar, a poniente por el Ba...

Monumento a los Mártires de la Libertad (Pingurucho de Los Coloraos)
Historical landmark
👍 Muy bonita, icónica e histórica está plaza donde se levanta el pingurucho de los coloraos, así llamados por los combatientes liberales que venían con el uniforme de color rojo del ejército de la marina británica. Llegaban de Gibraltar en 1824 para rebelarse contra el absolutismo. Es una réplica, ya...

Torre de Torregarcía

Watchtower rebuilt between 1571-75, on a previous tower of Islamic origin, during the reign of Philip II.
On December 21, 1502, the guard Andrés de Jaén found in its vicinity an image of a Virgin who later received the name...

Mirador
Observation deck
😐 As a viewpoint it is not bad, but the noise and bad smell of the intense traffic that passes right next to it is somewhat annoying. It's not a high place either, so don't expect "panoramic views of the area": just the horizon and the sea, which is no small feat.

Faluca Almariya
Historical landmark
😐 Boat of Muslim origin that was placed in a park next to the beach. It is beautiful to see and take a photo. It now needs some maintenance, it has chips and frayed strings.

Cargadero de Cable Inglés
Historical landmark
👍👍 It is impressive to see this old train freighter, which was used to unload minerals from the trains directly to the ships, so that they could set sail with all the material. It is still standing, and has been reconditioned so that it can be used as a walk above the sea. The structure is completely m...

Cuevas de Campsa
Historical landmark
🫤 This is a residential area and feels a little like the wrong side of town. Intimidating atmosphere and probably intruding on the locals turf. We did not feel welcome and I’m surprised this is listed as a place of interest. We understand the historical significance but it’s not a place to wander into...

El Cañillo de la Puerta de Purchena

Cerro San Cristobal
Historical landmark
🫤 I have to leave just two stars for this place as it’s pretty dreadful. The statue and view is lovely if you can cope with the heavily littered and dangerously dirty street to get there. Then the site is obviously used as a drinking den for the local down-and-outs. Oh dear. Go to the Alcazaba instead...

Real Hospital of St. María Magdalena
Historical landmark
👍👍 16th century hospital rehabilitated for a future museum of Spanish realism. The restoration has been very respectful and guided views are held for a limited time, before it is inaugurated as a museum.
