Greetings from a cat café in Almería

12-12-2025

Here I am with a bunch of KITTIIIIIIIIIEEEEES! Yaaaaaaaay!

Apart from the kitties, not a lot going on in Almería, and that's also kinda the point. Nice cat café, nice ol' castle (also has kitties), nice Michelin restaurant (no kitties), and a nice hard rock and metal bar (no kitties, but beer and true metal). But that's pretty much it.

Shit, the town even has its own official metal community, website and all: https://www.metalmeria.com

As I'm saying, I mostly visited the place for the combo of nice weather and not-a-lot-going-on. If you like that combination along with metal and kitties, you could swing by Almería if you're cruising the south of Spain. they also have the Tabernas desert out close by, which is where a lot of the classic spaghetti westerns were shot, including the Leone ones. Also, it's the only desert in Europe, so that's kinda cool, too.
