Parque Almadrabillas, Urban park near Rambla de Belén in Almería, Spain.
Parque Almadrabillas is an urban park beside Rambla de Belén in Almería that spreads around the English Cable structure. The grounds contain green spaces, recreation areas, and a skate facility named after Ignacio Echeverría, plus space for concerts and public gatherings.
The English Cable structure was completed in 1904 and operated as a mineral loading dock connecting the railway station to the port. It became a landmark of industrial importance during Almería's peak period of mining and mineral export activity.
The park holds a memorial with 142 concrete columns honoring residents of Almería who died in Mauthausen concentration camp. This monument serves as a meaningful place for local remembrance and connects visitors to this difficult chapter of history.
The park is easily accessible with open pathways through green spaces suitable for walking and exploring. It helps to allow time for different zones, especially if you want to visit the memorial and see the skate facility.
Plans exist to transform the English Cable structure into an exhibition center with a restaurant and observation deck. This future development could turn the old industrial structure into a new attraction with Mediterranean views.
