Living in Almería

Light, sea, and the ultimate tapas culture in Spain's sunniest corner

Almería is a hidden gem in southeastern Spain. Boasting over 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, it offers an enviable quality of life defined by its Mediterranean character and Moorish past, visible in the imposing Alcazaba. It is a manageable and authentic mid-sized city that has preserved its essence without succumbing to mass tourism, offering pristine beaches just minutes away and a culinary scene where tapas are a free institution with every drink.
