    Almeria, Spain

    Experience Almeria, a city with a great deal of charm and one steeped in history.

    Almeria is steeped in history. Once the major port of the Islamic Cordoba Caliphate, it is dominated by the ancient Arab fortress of Alcazaba. From here there are wonderful views over the port and the heart of the city, and especially the oddly-fortified cathedral. The corner towers once housed cannons which were used to protect the cathedral’s priceless possessions from raids by the pirates who roamed the Mediterranean in the Middle Ages.
    The city has several museums on subjects ranging from the pre-history of Andalucia to modern art. In the 1960s the deserts surrounding the city were used to film westerns, notably those by the Italian direc-tor Sergio Leone. These days the Tabernas Natural Area and its old film sets, complete with saloons and ranches, are a tourist attraction.
