The city of Almería (meaning mirror of the sea) is only 6 miles from Toyo Blanco. It is located in a sheltered bay and dominated by a magnificent Moorish fortress known as 'Alcazaba' which dates back to the 10th century and sits on top of a mountain overlooking the city. Almería has a ferry terminal, a marina and a working fishing port, together with a wide variety of shops, bars and restaurants. La Rambla is a long main street, principally a shopping boulevard with cafes and fountains along its length.
