Paseo de Almería, street in Spain
The Paseo de Almería is a long street that runs from the Puerta de Purchena to Plaza Emilio Pérez, where it meets the Rambla de Belén. Along its course are buildings of different periods, along with shops, cafes, and a central market.
The street began to form in the 1500s when the city expanded beyond its old fortress walls and was later renamed several times in honor of rulers and officials. After the railway arrived in 1885, the city grew eastward, strengthening the Paseo's role as an important urban hub.
The Paseo de Almería traces the path of old city walls and has evolved into a gathering place where residents shop, relax at cafes, and spend time with friends and family. The street reflects how the city values social connection and outdoor life.
The Paseo is easy to reach as it is close to bus lines and the city center, with busy daytime activity but peaceful early mornings and evenings. Almería's climate is dry and sunny year-round, making it comfortable to spend time outside even in winter.
A notably old ficus tree stands along the Paseo and was inspected in 2017 to confirm its health. This tree witnesses the city's transformation over many decades as urban life changed around it.
