About the Item
An original antique map of the province of Almería, Spain, from the year 1901.
The Mediterranean Sea, labeled as "Mar Mediterraneo," forms the southeastern boundary of the province, with coastlines and port locations indicated.
The coat of arms of Almería is prominently displayed, incorporating the castle and the cross, which are historic symbols often associated with the Reconquista period in Spain.
Almería is a province located in the southeastern part of Spain, within the autonomous community of Andalusia. It shares its borders with the provinces of Granada and Murcia and has a significant coastline along the Mediterranean Sea. Here are some notable aspects of Almería:
The capital, also called Almería, is a historic city with a rich history dating back to the times when it was an important harbor in the Caliphate of Córdoba, and later, a stronghold during the Reconquista.
The province enjoys a semi-arid to arid climate, making it one of the driest regions in Europe. This climate is conducive to the large-scale production of fruits and vegetables, often under vast plastic greenhouses, a practice that has given the region the nickname "The Sea of Plastic."
Aside from agriculture, the economy of Almería also benefits from marble quarrying and export, as well as from tourism, especially along its coastal areas known as the Costa de Almería.
Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park: This park is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and is known for its volcanic rock formations, diverse marine life, and some of the most untouched beaches in Spain.
Almería has a long history with the film industry, serving as the location for many famous films, especially Westerns, in the 1960s and 1970s. The desert-like landscapes of the Tabernas Desert have been a favored backdrop for many filmmakers.
The province has a rich Moorish heritage, which is visible in its architecture and cultural festivals. The Alcazaba of Almería, a medieval fortress, is a prominent historical monument in the capital city.
The province is a leader in intensive agriculture, particularly for the European market, with advanced techniques in water management and crop production.
Almería is also home to the largest concentration of greenhouses in the world and has made significant strides in solar energy research and development, hosting the largest solar research center in Europe.
Almería's blend of ancient history, unique landscapes, and modern agricultural techniques make it a diverse and interesting region of Spain.
