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 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.
