Almería is the land of the good life. Those who have visited know this well. Much of the "blame" for this pleasant, cheerful, and relaxed lifestyle that the inhabitants of Almería exude is due to their contact with the sea. The millennia-long history of the capital translates into a rich heritage: monuments, churches, and Arab roots make it a city full of charm. The Alcazaba, which towers over the city, welcomes you with open arms. Did you know that its 1,430 meters of walls make it one of the largest Muslim constructions in Spain? It is surpassed only by the Alhambra in Granada. As we mentioned, it’s impressive. Perched on a hill, it seems to continue watching over the horizon and safeguarding the city, especially its Medina. Stroll through its garden with cisterns from the Muslim era, or better yet, visit it illuminated at night… it’s truly a spectacle! This is a city that has much to offer. The capital is also an ideal place to discover a vibrant cuisine, always focused on the Mediterranean and featuring the best local products. Spoon dishes, such as migas, are very popular. And what can be said about the tapas you’ll find in the bars and restaurants in the center of Almería?

Sercotel Gran Fama
The thing about Almería is to surprise those who visit it. And our Sercotel Gran Fama lives up to a city where the sun shines practically all year round, the heritage awaits you at every step, the cinema permeates everything and the Mediterranean bathes its beaches. There, that's nothing.
At our hotel Gran Fama we are clear about our priority: to take care of you. That is why our 88 rooms have been designed for your relaxation and well-being. They are spacious, bright, modern and tastefully decorated. In addition, when choosing the mattresses for our 4-star hotel, we have taken into account that your days of sightseeing or business meetings can be really exhausting. When you fall into one of our very comfortable beds, you won't even have time to count sheep. Nor your pet, which can sleep in your room. The next morning, after enjoying that deep restful sleep, you can start the day with the magnificent buffet breakfast that we offer you in our café, always accompanied by all the news you want, as we offer you free daily papers. Reading what Facebook has to tell you is all very well, but we're still more about turning pages on paper than relying on an algorithm.
With your head awake, we wouldn't be surprised if you wanted to do the same with your muscles. Come to reception, we will explain you how to use our gym. However, if you prefer to exercise in the open air, all you have to do is head for the historic city centre. We are only a 20-minute walk away. Yes, you're right, in Almeria you won't need a car at all. Leave it in our car park. Interesting fact? We have charging points for electric vehicles.
Of course, before you set off to explore Almería, stop by our reception. We have prepared our recommendations for you to experience the city. You know, a mix of must-haves and insider tips, the kind that make all the difference on any trip. Make the most of your foray into the old town to marvel at all that the city has to offer. Yes, the gastronomy too. Although, if your body is asking you to come back to our Sercotel Gran Fama, you can always go for a walk around the nearby Mediterráneo Shopping Centre and the numerous restaurants there. Or, even better, stop by our restaurant-cafeteria. In the evenings, we prepare light dinners, those that are shared and eaten casually, based on snacks, salads, sandwiches, mixed plates and sandwiches.
We would love it if the reason for your arrival at our Gran Fama hotel were leisure, but if you are here for work, we probably already have what you need ready for you. These include: free Wi-Fi in all the hotel facilities, a Business Corner, where you will find the privacy you need to prepare your meetings and, of course, some wonderful rooms where we will help you to organise the event that best suits your needs. As we said: we are a wonderful box of surprises.

The land of the good life
Cabo de Gata, the Natural Park of Almeria that you have to discover
La natura e Almeria vanno di pari passo. La provincia è lo scenario perfetto per chi desidera giornate di sole e tranquillità. Il Parco Naturale di Cabo de Gata-Níjar si trova a circa 20 km dal capoluogo ed è la più grande area protetta di rilevanza ecologica di tutto il Mediterraneo.
All'interno del parco c'è tutto quello che si vuole vedere. Dalle spiagge più selvagge e incontaminate come Playa de los Muertos, Genoveses, Playazo de Rodalquilar, Las Negras o la Isleta del Moro; ai villaggi incantevoli come San José, Agua Amarga, Mojácar e Carboneras.
Indubbiamente, in questo spazio naturale ci sono luoghi mitici da non perdere: come le Saline, il Torreón de San Miguel, il faro di Cabo de Gata e la scogliera di Las Sirenas.
Se siete amanti delle passeggiate, il Parco è attraversato anche da numerosi sentieri.
Oltre a Cabo de Gata e alla città di Almería, la provincia nasconde anche tesori naturali come l'Alpujarra, il geode gigante di Pulpí, uno dei più spettacolari scoperti finora, e altre incantevoli città costiere come Roquetas de Mar o Aguadulce. Qui la cosa più difficile sarà decidere dove andare.
The city holds many more secrets. An example? The House of Cinema. It makes perfect sense when you consider that this province has been the setting for numerous film shoots.
Yes, you read correctly. The Tabernas desert has served as a backdrop for many famous films, especially westerns. Are you familiar with 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' and 'A Fistful of Dollars'? Well their locations have an Andalusian accent. Of Almería, to be specific.
But don't leave the city yet. Return to it. Don't miss its Cathedral and pay attention because, from time to time, you will hear big names being called out. Federico García Lorca's will be one of them. His time in the province inspired him to write 'Bodas de sangre'.
Almeria may be a land of muses. Even John Lennon checked it out. He came and stayed. For one season. Here he composed 'Strawberry Fields Forever'.
Do as they do: come and stay. Our Sercotel Gran Fama hotel, located in the city centre, is the perfect accommodation to have everything at hand and make the most of your trip.
Sercotel Rewards is our loyalty programme that will enable you to enjoy exclusive benefits and offers. Sign up and get a discount of up to 15% on your next booking.
