Highlights
  • Refugios de la Guerra Civil Española de Almería - Discover the historical shelters from the Spanish Civil War in Almería. Explore the extensive 4.5-kilometer network of subterranean passageways created to protect up to 40,000 individuals during air raids.

This guided tour allows you to traverse nearly one kilometer of these tunnels, where a knowledgeable guide will reveal the significant history and fascinating stories concealed within this extraordinary site.

The journey commences with an introductory video that sets the stage for the visit. As you proceed, the guide will lead you through the depths, where you’ll get to see a makeshift hospital complete with a surgery room, a private chamber, and even children’s artwork adorning the walls.

Venture 9 meters below the surface, or for the more daring, delve 16 meters to uncover a former food storage area.

This is a singular and memorable adventure that’s not to be overlooked.

Great. - Very impressive and an enthusiastic guide Marcus. He must have done this many times before, but he told it as if it were the first time. Full of passion. Good English. Takes an hour and that's enough.

Very well preserved (and explained). - First I'm sorry that the accents are not marked. The Refuge Museum is very well preserved. It is clear that it is because the hoof of human beings has not trampled it excessively in recent years. Everything is perfect, the visit and the guide are essential.

I recommend it without a doubt spectacular - A spectacular experience, especially the guide who was a great guy whose name I don't remember, he was wonderful at explaining it. My 18 and 10 year old daughters came out delighted and enjoyed it very much.

Necessary history - There are several visits, through the town hall that you must book well in advance and with private companies like Alindalus, which was the one we did it with. The refuge is very well preserved and the guide Antonio made our visit most enjoyable and educational. We went with 2 children, ages 8 and 11, and they enjoyed it very much. Totally recommended

Interesting but definitely need to be fluent in Spanish as no information given in other languages. - A short video at the start gives people’s account of what it was like in Almeria during the Civil War. Subtitles in English. The tour itself is all in Spanish - I know there were various nationalities there and even just a sheet of info would have helped give us a little bit more understanding for those of us that are not fluent.
