Almería Province, Province in southeastern Spain

The province of Almería covers 8,774 square kilometers of mountainous terrain bordered by Granada, Murcia, and the Mediterranean Sea in Andalusia.

The region experienced significant development during the Muslim rule from 711, becoming a center for silk production and maritime trade until 1489.

The landscapes of Almería served as filming locations for numerous Western movies in the 1960s, with multiple constructed Western sets across the desert terrain.

The province maintains extensive greenhouse farming operations, producing millions of tons of vegetables for export throughout the European market annually.

The German-Spanish Calar Alto Observatory conducts astronomical research from this location due to the minimal cloud cover throughout the year.
