Yes, Almer\u00eda is well worth a visit<\/a>. Andalucia’s authenticity and rich historical heritage make this town a real attraction.

Why visit?<\/h3>\n\n

This fortress is one of the most impressive monumental medieval defensive ensembles in al-Andalus. We even preferred it toMalaga’s Alcazaba<\/a>! Like us, you’ll be seduced by its vast and remarkable architecture, its well-preserved remains and its incredible panoramic views, especially of the Jayr\u00e1n Wall. Built in the 11th century, this line stretches all the way to the Colline de San Crist\u00f3bal, from where you can see the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on a large plinth, a marble by Macael, built in the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n
