The Alcazaba and the old town
Park at Parking Clubö Calle Real, 84 and walk up to the Alcazaba.
The Alcazaba is Almería's great monument: a fortress that Abd ar-Rahman III ordered built in the tenth century on an isolated hill overlooking the city and the port. It has three enclosures, two from the Andalusi period and a third, Christian one built by the Catholic Monarchs, and it joins the walls of San Cristóbal hill. If you are driving, Parking Clubö Calle Real, 84 is in the old town, about 650 m in a straight line from the entrance, and it is open 24 hours, so you do not depend on blue-zone hours or on finding a space in the narrow streets that climb to the monument. Bear in mind that it is closed on Mondays unless the next day is a public holiday, and that on Sundays and public holidays it only opens in the morning; entry is free for European Union citizens.
