Learn more about hotels in Almeria

Almería, nestled in the heart of Andalusia, is both a vibrant city and a municipality serving as the capital of its eponymous province. Founded in 955 by Caliph Abd al-Rahman III, this former global city thrived throughout the 11th and 12th centuries as a bustling port trading silk, oil, and raisins. The roots of Almería's name can be traced back to the Arabic "Madīnat al-Mariyya", meaning "city of the watchtower".

Brimming with fascinating history, the city has seen numerous rulers and even formed part of the Arab Banu Sumadih, later falling to Almoravid control before being captured by Christian forces in 1147. Since then, Almería has evolved into an economic powerhouse, relying heavily on exports and greenhouse and agricultural production, and boasts the distinctive distinction of being the only European city with a hot desert climate.

When to visit Almeria

The ideal time to visit Costa Almeria is between June and September, when the sun shines gloriously and the air hums with excitement. The sea is especially inviting during this time, with its warm waters rarely cooling below 24°C. If you prefer milder temperatures, however, plan your visit between October and May, when the heat tapers off, leaving the region comfortable and easy to explore.

For the budget-conscious traveller, October offers the lowest hotel prices, whereas August is the peak season and attracts higher rates. Regardless of when you choose to visit, be prepared for an incredible journey through the captivating land of Almería.
