Mountains
Usually, Almeria's name is related with its coast and its outstanding beaches surrounded by the Mediterranean sea, because they are thought to be the most representative part of our province. But, What is Almería's relief like?
Our amazing province, shows many mountains in the Penibetical mountain range , which usually traverse west to east.
Among the multitude of mountains, the most important ones are known either for their 'great' height or for their extension.
