Day 1 : CENTRE- Almería city Almería is a city in Andalusia, Spain, located in the southeast of Spain on the Mediterranean Sea, and is the capital of the province of the same name. It was Abd-ar-Rahman III who founded the Alcazaba (the Citadel), which gave this city its name: Al-Mari'yah ( the Watchtower) In the 10th and 11th centuries, it formed part of the Caliphate of Córdoba, and grew wealthy on trade and the textile industry, especially silk. It suffered many sieges and fell under Christian domination in 1489. In 1522, Almería was devastated by an earth- quake and rebuilding and recovery did not really get underway until the 19th century. During the Spanish Civil War, the city was shelled by the Ger- man Navy, and fell to Franco in 1939. It has since re- built its economy around vegetable production, with 100,000 hectares of greenhouses, supplying much of Europe. 2 What activities have you done? 3 Did you have fun doing the different activities? 4 Which activity did you like the most? 5 Day 2 : EAST– Las Salinas de Cabo Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park in the southeast- ern corner of Spain is Andalusia's largest coastal pro- tected area, a wild and isolated landscape with some of Europe's oldest geological features.
