[Almería](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almer%C3%ADa) is a sunny, lovely city on the Southeast coast of
Spain. Looking over the Mediterranean sea, the city was founded in 955 by Abd-ar-Rahman III, who ordered the
construction of the famous [Alcazaba (the Citadel)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcazaba_of_Almer%C3%ADa),
one of the largest moorish castles in Europe. The modern city has grown over the hills that surround the
Alcazaba, staying true to its visual and architectural tradition.
