"Almeria is little visited by international tourists, although the similarities between the two cities are striking. Both are ancient ports of beguiling tree-lined streets, a sparkling beach, a Moorish fort, and a 16th-century cathedral."
"Almeria is reminiscent of the old Malaga, before its 1990s makeover, when its reputation as a sketchy port city was transformed by major investment and the overhaul of its waterfront into a soulless shopping and eating development."
Almeria, a 10th-century city, offers a unique blend of history and culture, reminiscent of its past. Unlike the heavily touristed Malaga, Almeria retains its charm with ancient streets and a Moorish fort. The city, located in Spain's southeastern corner, feels remote and distinct, closer to Morocco than Madrid. Despite its under-the-radar status, Almeria is set to benefit from a new high-speed rail service from Madrid in 2027, which may change its tourism landscape.
