The Entorno de Paz Meditation Centre overlooks the passenger port and lies just a few minutes’ walk from the city centre. Almeria occupies a privileged position and enjoys a warm, sunny climate. It is the sunniest part of Europe, enjoying 360 days of sunshine a year.
The airport lies only a few minutes from the capital and there are regular, direct flights to Madrid, Barcelona and several other European cities. The A-92 motorway connects the city to the rest of Andalucía, while the Mediterranean Highway (the A-7 motorway) leads directly to the French border and the rest of Europe. Almería also has a rail link.
Known as a city of sunshine, the capital exudes a natural charm: its people are open and kind-hearted, and always ready to receive visitors. Land of sharp contrasts offers the volcanic landscape and spectacular, unspoilt beaches of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park, the mountain splendour of Las Alpujarras and the almost lunar landscape of the Tabernas Desert.
