W̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ How to eat in Almería
Well, as you can imagine we have restaurants and other meal shops here,
but what we really love is to go for
«tapas»
Almería locals and visitors love to eat tapas. When meeting to eat with friends we tipically go to one or several bars and eat several tapas. In Almería each tapa includes a beverage (usually wine, beer or grape juice) and an appetizer. Obviously you can drink any other beverage but it's not included in the standard price. Do you can have a full lunch with tapas? Yes, sure. The rule of thumb is you can have a meal with three tapas. Going for tapas is specially popular for dinner.
So, remember, the ideal way to have your dinner in Almería is going to tapas and as reference you can use these routes of tapas:
