A beautiful visit with a great view - Beautiful view of the city. Free entry for EU citizens. It is very interesting to explore the castle. We were there for 2 hours, so we had a lovely time there.

Alcabaza is beautiful - A beautiful remnant of Moorish rule. Restoration work is underway. From here you have a beautiful view of the city and the Mediterranean Sea.

You have to visit it yes or yes. - Impressive and majestic Arab fortification that wants to remember other illustrious and solemn spaces left by the Moors in Spain throughout the many centuries that they remained in our country. . It is currently in the process of consolidating its external walls in the southern part. Without a doubt, it is the largest and best monument in the City of Almeria that undoubtedly deserves a quiet visit.

Grateful for the treatment. - I was very pleasantly surprised, not only by the monument - which is amazing in its dimensions and care - but also by the kindness of the staff, the cleanliness and conservation. We were chatting with the group that carries out excavations and it was very illustrative and educational. Entrance is free. I encourage you to make your visit from here. Very satisfied.

A surprise. Great visit. - I was pleasantly surprised, it is currently undergoing conservation renovations but you can visit the main areas of the Alcazaba as towers, classrooms and lounges, as well as the courtyards. We have been over an hour and a half and that there were areas that still could not be visited by restoration!! All very clean and tidy. Very attentive staff. More than recommended, we would return!!

Do not book this tour - The guide did not show up for the tour and the operator refused to refund us. Do not book with this disreputable company. Although we made two phone calls and several text messages while waiting we did not get any response until well after the time of the tour. And when we did, the person communicating could only do so in Spanish (I.e., did not speak English).

Two frustrated travelers - We never found the location or the guide for this excursion. We left our ship in plenty of time, we secured a map and received directions from an official tourist person, but never found the Torre de Justicia, the meeting place. Every native Almerian we asked had no idea where this place was. After walking for an hour, we finally gave up. Your meeting places should not be some obscure site, but rather an easy-to-find location. We may not qualify for a refund, but we feel you should know about our frustration. We have booked with you before, and never had such a difficult time.
