Things to Do in Almeria

With its arid ravines and purpose-built film villages, the Tabernas Desert (Desierto de Tabernas) is one of Almeria’s more offbeat natural attractions that’s ideal for families. Famed for being the backdrop to several Hollywood-produced spaghetti westerns, here you can visit one of the several Western theme parks or tackle one of the many hiking trails.

Oasys Mini Hollywood transports visitors to the Wild West. This former movie set, used for films such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, has been transformed into a cowboy-themed amusement park complete with mock shootouts and a saloon with can-can dancers. A zoological park and aquatic zone round out the offerings.
