Almeria's Tourist Season

Unsurprisingly, tourists head to Almeria all summer long, with the peak season coinciding with the school holidays. Although Almeria isn't a huge hotspot yet, it's best to book accommodation and car hire nice and early to get a good price and avoid any shortages. Spring and autumn are still great times to go, particularly if you prefer slightly cooler weather, and with great deals at this time of year you can make your money go a lot further. If you're more interested in the natural beauty of the area rather than topping up your tan then winter is perfect, as it'll be much less crowded.
