Heritage towns in Almería

A hilltop town in Almería with roots stretching back to the Neolithic, its 16th-century church built over a mosque and its coastline once served by a narrow-gauge mining railway.

Above the plains of Almería, Vélez-Blanco is defined by a Renaissance castle rising over an ancient Moorish quarter, a double-walled hillside town whose territory holds some of the most significant prehistoric rock art in Europe.

A town in Almería with more than thirty thousand years of human presence, its baroque church facade, stately manor houses, and wide 18th-century streets marking it as one of Andalucía's more quietly ambitious provincial towns.
