The main church in the village of Tabernas (Almería) is the Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation. This historic parish church is located in the center of the village, near the ruins of the Moorish castle (Castillo de Tabernas). It is a tranquil, traditional building in a region known primarily for its desert and film sets.

The castle of Tabernas, built in the 11th century, is one of the most important Nasrid fortresses in Almería. Located on top of a hill, it offers spectacular views over the Tabernas desert and retains part of its walls despite centuries of abandonment and destruction. The Catholic Monarchs stayed here and the Capitulations of Almería were signed in 1489, giving it great historical weight. Access is free and, although the site is in ruins, it is recommended to wear comfortable footwear to explore it and enjoy the unique landscape that surrounds it.

The old Tabernas bullring, built in the 19th century, is one of the oldest in the province of Almería. Although bullfights are no longer held there, it retains its traditional structure and is now used for cultural and recreational events.

It is a small Andalusian village of medieval origin, with white and quiet streets, dominated by the ruins of an Arab castle and surrounded by the unique desert that bears its name.

The views of the canyons in the Tabernas Desert are truly breathtaking. This desert, known to be the only one in Europe, offers arid landscapes and unique geological formations that have been sculpted by erosion over the years.
