Common questions about Almería
The inland is desert (Spain's only one!), but the coast is greener and the city has fine parks. The contrast is unique.
Yes, like any medium-sized Spanish city. Some neighbourhoods (like La Chanca) have had a poorer reputation but are also culturally interesting.
Less so than on the Costa Blanca. A few words of Spanish are appreciated here.
