Almerķa

Description
The provincial capital, locted on the Medditerranian, with stunning views from the surrounding hills out over the coastline. The beach area is a bit over developed with high-rise blocks and quite a bland beach, but the Alcazaba and historical buildings in the old town more than make up for that
Charge
Getting There
There are three or four trains a day from Granada. It is sensible to book a couple of days in advance so that you have a reserved seat, there are hefty fines for sitting in someone elses seat, and on the journey back the train was packed the whole way. The journey takes about two and a half hours
