The fortress may get all the plaudits but this was my favourite place in Almeria, particularly for the paintings which are fabulous. It's a bit hard to find because you're looking for something that looks like a cathedral when actually it looks more like a fortified house or something, but is well worth it! Look for the tower!

You'd be forgiven for mistaking this cathedral for a small fortress, it was heavily fortified as it was often a target of pirate raids. Inside the gothic ceiling is impressive and the mix of architectural styles adds to the richness rather than looking messy. Well worth a visit.
