This would be a stunningly beautiful place, if only it wasn't strewn throughout with litter, disused building and packaging materials, and huge amounts of plastic from the ubiquitous poly tunnels that seem to cover most of this area (yes, even in this "natural" park). It's truly awful. And shameful that the local government hasn't seen fit to get it cleaned up or maintained in any way.

Schöne Strände, sehr Ruhig (im Januar). Nett für einen Spaziergang am Strand. Parkplätze für diese Jahreszeit ausreichen vorhanden. (Translated by Google) Beautiful beaches, very quiet (in January). Nice for a walk on the beach. There are enough parking spaces for this time of year.

Beautiful, natural surroundings. Fabulous beaches. We'll worth a visit. And great tapas in the not to far away service stations 👍🏼

Amazing beaches with crystal clear water. Mostly enjoyed by locals! Just know that there is time slot to enter the car park. Outside of these slots, you will have no access but you will be asked to park at the 1st car park until the relevant time slot!

I like the landscape here, it's even a sunny and warm spot during winter along the coast

Beautiful walking, picnic area. Very peaceful

If you are looking for calm and peace, this is the place. Very steep shelf into water so watch the kids but it makes for a great swim. Lots water sports too. Amazing food at the chiringuito right on the beach..good quality and good value. Worth a drive. X

Ein sehr schöner Ort, beeindruckende Landschaft, sehr zu empfehlen.... (Translated by Google) A very beautiful place, impressive landscape, highly recommended...

Cap Carbon in Béjaïa, Algeria, is known for its stunning coastal cliffs and scenic views of the Mediterranean Sea. It's a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, offering opportunities for hiking, picnicking, and enjoying the natural beauty of the area. If you're planning to visit, make sure to bring your camera for some breathtaking photos!

Such an amazing place. Even though the sun wasn't shining it is still beautifull to drive around here. Really recommend it!!

Avoid the infamous sea of plastic in the middle and stick to the coastal roads only. Some of the best beaches are n the world,the prettiest fishing villages in Spain and Europe's warmest,driest winter make this unmissable if you find the right places.Aquaamarga,Las Negras,Rodalqyilar and San Jose are all worth a visit and can be viewed in one day if touring not staying. However I recommend staying,especially if it's winter.

This Natural Park is simply breathtaking! Best to explore by foot. The are numerous trails along the coast going up and down from one gorgeous beach to the next secluded cove, up you go giant sand dunes and down to an orchard of "pitas"...Please keep this please clean, DO NOT litter and leave nothing behind, thank you

Die Umgebung um Cabo de Gata ist unbedingt eine Reise wert. Viele Strände und Gegenden sind in der Nebensaison leer. Hier gibt es auf jeden Fall immer Stellen an den man für sich alleine ist.... Instagram: travelling.by.bus (Translated by Google) The area around Cabo de Gata is definitely worth a visit. Many beaches and areas are empty in the off-season. There are always places here where you can be alone... Instagram: traveling.by.bus

AMAZING place soooo gorgeous so much to do and see I'm in total and complete love xoxoxo

You need to go at least once! There is no other place like it. We live within 45 minutes so we have an annual pass, our children are 7&6 and still enjoy it everytime. As a parent it's reassuring to know there are plenty of bathrooms. The cowboy show might be violent for some people's taste. The show in the saloon is loud especially when they shoot the guns. Don't forget the reptile house, the snakes are awesome. The animals are worth seeing, go all the way to the top, the views are stunning. Or catch the train. Keep in mind that it's a lot of walking, this isn't ideal for older people or people unable to walk long distances.

A fun day out but it could be so much more. We watched two shows which were entertaining. The buffet was good for vegetarians as there was quite a bit of choice. The museum exhibit was interesting and informative. We were here in November and it was 21⁰C which was a perfect temperature and it wasn't too crowded. We didn't like the zoo as the enclosures were small and the animals looked sad. If it was just Mini Hollywood I would have given it a higher score

Fantastic place to visit. Watching the Western show, Can Can dancers and Cow girls. The town was interesting to walk. Only part that let it down was the zoo. Looking at the big cats and some other animals was upsetting as some of them living in the heat they do with no clean water to drink and the Tiger being a Siberian in nearly 40 degree temperatures looked ill along with others. Pay more attention to the animals as its cruel.

Although everything was great, from facilities, entertainment, location, even a swimming pool to relax and all well maintained; I am giving one star review because they have a zoo! Animals are not well kept, there is no need to have a zoo, people should teach their children that animals should be free.. I’d boycott this place and suggest going to fort bravo instead where they have no zoo and meets all the expectations for visiting a movie set without adding extra frills just to compete with others at the expense of animals.

Great experience here. The set is so fun to walk around, very cheesy and perfect to mirror the spaghetti westerns. Great shows and staff. Good value for the money, and if you park across the road in the dirt lot it's free. The zoo was quite good, *most of the animals had decent enclosures. The rattlesnakes were not well looked-after and their enclosures were very dirty. They really need to hire or train a venomous snake handler to improve the conditions. I would've liked to see an informative exhibit on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly since it was filmed here as well.

If you like this review give it a 👍 Nice theme park. It feels like you're visiting the wild, wild west. Not just because of the Western town but also because of the surrounded area. It's for a good reason the used this area, in the past, to shoot Western movies. It's fun to walk around and experience how an old western town would have been. There's a show (2 times a day) which is worthwhile to see. The animal park is of nice size. Although to my opinion keeping wild animals in cages is something of the past, it's worth while walking around. The Cactus garden is a little limited.

We drove past this park when we arrived in Spain and it was high on my husband's to-do list, so we took the 1 hour drive from where we were staying and arrived just after opening time. We booked our parking and entry tickets in advance and were able to park under cover and walked in easily with no wait. I'd definitely recommend arriving early as it's that but quieter (and cooler!) So you can get some great photos and enjoy the different buildings. We watched the 12pm and 5pm main shows outside plus the cowgirl show in the saloon. Everyone gets to the shows very early, so you need to do so too, if you want a good view. There are staff in full western gear all over the park and happy to have photos with you. We had the buffet which was very busy, but offered a lot of variety. Everyone was queuing in the sun for the 1pm opening which was a bit uncomfortable, but when we were in it was very fast to get seated. Add this to your pre-booked tickets - it's quicker and cheaper too! The zoo area seemed unnecessary to us and the animals in the big cat enclosures were clearly very hot and enclosures were too small, so we decided to give the rest of the zoo a miss - we didn't feel that the park, or our day out, really needed any more than the wild west area anyway. We all had a great day (family with 11 year old) and would recommend it to people visiting the area.

Great place to visit as there is a lot to do including the Western town, animal park and water park. There are shows daily in the town both inside and out, get to the 'square' early to pick a good vantage point. The buffet lunch is excellent but will cost more, (the park doesn't allow you to take in food or drink). There are many refreshment points around which is a necessity when visiting in the summer. If you arrive before opening you will have to queue unless you buy tickets in advance, but if you arrive about an hour later there is usually no queue at all. Shows are in Spanish but this is not a problem, as it is quite obvious as to what is happening. Prices in the saloon and cafes are reasonable. The water park is small but popular with Spanish families. Plan for spending the whole day here.

Have always wanted to go with my family, after 7 long years we finally arrive here, from the moment we arrived with helpful & polite staff to the amazing things to see & do, we even had the all you can eat buffet, I highly recommend, its definitely worth the money. Amazing animals to see too. You just need to wear comfortable footwear as there is alot of walking involved. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you so much 😊

We went in April 2022 which was perfect as temperatures were in the mid 20s and not too busy. Really enjoyed the day, well worth the visit and with the zoo it makes a full day out.

If you're anywhere even remotely nearby, you must visit this place - such an unforgettable day! The scenery alone was jawdropping, and the actors and shows were just a step above. A really fantastic experience!!

Oasys Mini Hollywood is great value just for the experience of being on the set of the Spaghetti Westerns and the shows that they put on there. When you realise that they also have a Zoo/Animal Park there and that the prices for food and drink are really reasonable for such an attraction (€4 for an ice cold pint of lager and €2.70 for an Iced Tea), you won't be disappointed that you ventured out into the Spanish Desert! Well worth a visit for all ages... I'd take my kids and my parents next time! 👌🏼🤠👢

So fun! So realistic. Beautifully set up. Also the zoo and the swimming area were beautiful. Yes, the animal living areas can definately be bigger. With all the land around it, this must be an option, right? Though I think, if I read it well, they will be working on that in 2024. :-) Our son of 5, and we had a lovely day!

Visited here on 24 December 2023 after we left Fort Bravo just down the road. This place is more Hollywood style with professional looking actors, but we preferred the Fort Bravo cowboys. The cowboy show was a bit distant to difficult to see clearly what was going on. Great show nevertheless. The can can show not really our taste but the saloon was staffed by wonderful ladies who made great effort to please. The zoo has a great location in the hills making it feel like being in the Savannah. The parrot show was entertaining and the grounds lovely although some of the animals (wild boar) didn't look too content.

Our 3rd visit in 20 years. There have been some noticeable changes over the years, with more still planned for the coming years. The park was very busy considering it was out of peak season. We were there from 10:45am until 4:30pm. Wild West show was awesome as ever, easily understandable no matter which language you speak. The zoo is always improving, Animals look great, although the animal section is up and down hills, which can be tiring. The bird show seemed short and a little lack luster, but the weather did turn very windy by 3pm, which is not ideal for flying birds. CanCan girls were not traditional like in the movies, but a more modern cowgirl approach, which was well presented. Tickets are a little cheaper if brought online in advance, like most places, but you still have to que up with walk-up customers to collect tickets. There should be different systems in place for online and walk-ups.

What a great wild west experience. The building's were very authentic looking. I'm sure I remember the Sheriff's office from one of the westerns I've seen over the years. The gunfight was very enjoyable as well as the can can girls. The zoo area was interesting with steep up & down area's in some sections. Although, there was a train that took you up and down the steepest sections if you chose to use it. We had the all you can eat buffet which of a good overall quality. The only reasons for not giving the 5th star was:- 1.To keep the streets in the western town authentic they were gravel/sand covered which would make access for wheelchair users difficult (unless you had an off road chair). 2. Even if you pre book tickets you have to join the que with those paying on entry.

A great way to spend the day. Make sure you see earlier show if you want to visit the zoo! Snacks and drinks can be bought inside. No need to book for the lunch option.

Really enjoyed our day. Watched the gunfight , drank in the saloon to watch the cancan girls. Found the cinematic museum fascinating. And enjoyed walking around the animals. The large pool at the back of the animal area looked great, - we just didn't have time to take a dip. Loved it .

Not a minute was wasted here. Great show outside and on stage, ladies and gentlemen performing, great applause! The realism of the place is perfect, hence hundreds of films directed here. The whole thing, together with the vehicle museum, the zoo, the desert that perfectly matches the scenery and all the buildings, create a fantastic atmosphere that you won't find anywhere in Europe!

Great experience! We took our kids age ranges 2 to 6 and they loved it too. The western area and show was so well done and the zoo is very well maintained

It's been a while since I've been bug ug was fantastic. As well as bejnv a mush for spaghetti western fans, the zoo is great. It's a really nice day out, and I can't recommend it enough for a great service experience.

Fantastic travel to the past of the Muslim architecture in Spain. There is a great. Work in progress to bring this fortress and palace to its original splendor. Free entrance. Great for kids

Warning: There are a lot of steps up to the summit, some of these are slippery towards the road entrance. The climb is rewarded with some spectacular views of around Almería. It can be very hot here as there is little shading or seating areas. You can buy drinks from a machine near the summit. It can be very busy in the daytime as it is FREE entry. It is much under reconstruction and does spoil the visit somewhat.

A must see place when you visit Almería. Located just 10 minutes walk away from downtown, this is a beautiful fortress to visit. There has been a lot of work to recover the structure and gardens and once again you can experience its greatness. The flow of water throughout the property is impressive as well as its impressive views of the city. The entrance is free but my suggestion is to charge for it to maintain both the Alcazaba and San Cristobal.

Beautiful, didn’t expect such a monumental views but exceeded the expectations. Great place to have photo shoots and even movies if you can take permission. Can see the Spanish architecture clearly. Lot of greenery restoration is happening as well- must visit if you’re in Almería

Very much worth a visit. Its free and all you do is say how many in the group and what country you're from. They could easily charge and it be worth a visit! It's very interesting and offers lovely views of Almeria. There are buses that service the foot of it if you don't fancy the hike up the hill towards the entrance! Taxis are an option too

Nice and well maintained fortress. Open from the morning until 9 pm in the off-season months. Free entry. Some small expositions in one part of the castle. Vending machines with snacks and toilets. Beautiful views of the whole Almería city.

I can't believe this is free entry. They didn't even ask for donations. Quite rough terrain and uphill/steps but really worth it. Some parts were closed as they are being repaired and reimagined.

Free entrance. Super well kept and lovely garden... Not too much to see but very pretty :)

Great castle with free entry and continuous improvements and absolutely fabulous views so why only 4 stars? There are no refreshment areas, just a small room with self service machines and one set of toilets. It desperately needs more refreshment areas which surely would be a valuable source of income? There was a gift shop but that was closed and litter bins are a rarity. Some of the information boards have English translation but but all so a few more boards translated would be great. However overall a great day just carry plenty of water.

Castle in the process of being restored. Magnificent building but some steep climbs involved. When work completed, should be unmissable but well worth a visit now. And free to enter!

It has an amazing view over the city, and it is very interesting inside, very well preserved, and also very informative. Moreover, it is free, so it makes for a nice walk.

A nice historical and architectural tourist place to visit in Almeria. Interesting views for the town, port and gardens (at my pic) No access for wheelchairs and baby carriage, there are stairs! You can leave the baby carriage at the information point. No need to book a ticket, it's free!!!

Neat looking castle and allegedly a lot of history. Unfortunately they close at 1800 which didn’t allow an opportunity to visit. Lots of construction going on so even when open some parts are still restricted.

Great fortress, free entry. This is not Alhambra, but the buildings themselves and fortifications and gardens are pretty close. Just missing the interiors of Alhambra. But they are working on restoration. Beautiful views from multiple vantage points, including the highest tower.

Great place to visit, should have gone later as it was a light up for the 3 king’s celebration. Most of the original History has been lost due to earthquakes. Still grand to visit if not as good as the Alhambra.

A fascinating old building with great views over Almeria. We spent about two hours wandering around the alcazaba and the other buildings on site. We didn’t take a guided tour but that is possible if that’s what you prefer. We were lucky with the weather and got some good photos of the building and over Almeria.

The bright decoration of Almeria. Amazing view to the city! Free entrance! Must see location!

I am a huge Game of Thrones fan and to be where the Kingdom of Dorne was filmed was an amazing experience for me. Aside from that, the historical value and beauty of these buildings is definitely a sight not to miss. Be sure to wear shoes with a rubber sole, at times the stones can be slippery. This is not an ideal terrain for wheelchairs or baby carriages. The views from the gardens or buildings themselves are also amazing.

Fantastic museum attraction showcasing a beautiful 10th century Arabic fortress that also has the benefit of being free! It’s a huge complex with beautiful views of the city, gorgeous gardens and fountains and lots of detailed archeological exhibits throughout. As a fun bonus, there are a bunch of cats that live at the Alcazaba, most of which are very friendly! I was only about to spend about an hour there, but I could have easily stayed way longer! As a warning, this may not be the best attraction of you have mobility issues, and pathway up to the Alcazaba, as well as many of the internal staircases and walkways, are pretty steep and uneven - as is the case with most 10th century stone masonry. Skip the flip flops and wear sneakers/walking shoes for maximum enjoyment.

An interesting fortress on the hillside offering fantastic views of Almería and the surrounding landscape

Well worth a visit to better understand the history of the city. Audio guide was fine but could have done with more historical references although I do appreciate that this is very much a religious venue.

Well worth a visit. Lots of interesting facts. Price includes an audio guide. An option is to also pay extra to have the nearby monastery included. Note they shut between 14:00 and 16:00.

Worth visiting 3€ for the entrance (students)

An unassuming cathedral from the outside, resembling a castle, with incredibly ornate and detailed stonework on the inside, definitely worth a visit

Definitely worth a visit inside, very useful to have a guided tour as well informing the architectural and historical parts if the building.

Loved it the architecture and paintings are lovely with a real sense of peace, mind the electric candles if you put too much money in they all light up I prayed for everyone. Very friendly helpful staff.

Really beautiful and awesome inspiring, great tour with hand held device. Delightful and really helpful lady on the desk inside. Beware the independent tour guide, who physically grabbed me to make up the numbers to join her tour!

Unfortunately it was closed, but it is located in a very nice plaza, and the building is itself a beauty.

Incredibly beautiful Cathedral in the historic heart of Almería. Tickets are very cheap, (under €10) and gets you access to the whole cathedral, an excellent audio guide in tons of languages that tells the story of the cathedral, as well as gives detailed descriptions of the artwork and objects you can see in the church (I used English and Spanish for the audio guide, and both were great!) and two annex exhibits of catholic vestments and liturgical objects. The staff is friendly and helpful, and are happy to answer questions at the beginning or end of the visit. No photos allowed inside (it is an operating church and place of worship) but definitely worth a visit!

A beautiful cathedral. We visited on a Sunday morning for their 11:30am service and it was lovely with the organ playing in the background. The service was in Spanish but that was fine. A must-visit while in Almeria.

Lovely cathedral, so bright and vibrant. Nothing like what you expect looking at the outside. Charges to enter, €9 which was okay. The audio guide was good and part of what you paid.

I did the tour. It costs 4€. The building and inner works are beautiful. I recommend it if you have the time to look for yourself :)

Nice Cathedral in city centre with charming character. Staff are very helpful £5 entrance fee seems OK there is nice narrow old Spanish lanes with nice shops good coffee by the entrance takes u back in time

Very big and very nice inside. Went here during the Santa semana so they had people singing inside and large parades at night.

There are far more interesting cathedrals than this. Nothing unique or unusual to see. The audio guide was tedious and read by someone who didn't understand what he was talking about.

We had the chance to just get our guide Marcos to explain the symbolism of the cathedral, its history and architecture and I cannot recommend it enough. Make sure you get a hold of him if you are in town

A seriously scenic dry and arid section of coastline which isn’t busy or thronged with tourists, so a great place to go for a quiet drive and a scenic hike

Beautiful place overlooking the sea. Parking close by and even the road leading up to the faro is worth seeing.

Wonderful place and scenic drive towards it. Windy sometimes, cristal clear water and just a small part of a really unique nationalpark. If you want to find out more about the region make sure to visit us at our webpage /// travel - spain. org

Nice spot over the cliffs.

Not the most beautiful lighthouse but worth visiting if you're in the ara, you can't access it but you get close enough and the view from there are quite nice, there's a high rock (a cliff) nearby from where you can take a shot with the lighthouse in the background, also plenty of good restaurants on your way back (alongside the road) if you like genuine local seafood.

Impressive scenery from the faro and a short drive from Cabo de Gata, worth a visit if you're in the area.

A lovely scenic drive down the coast from Almeria. You cannot access the lighthouse but you can get close and see the beautiful views across the sea. Take some time and visit this lovely corner of Almeria.

nice place with great views and many ways to explore. might be difficult to find a parking place on busy days

If you are in Almería you definitely need to visit this place. There are some nice views on the way from Cabo de Gata village. The lighthouse itself doesn't have too much interest but the landscape deserves a visit. If you are from the north of Spain you could get disappointed, since there's nothing you haven't seen before, apart from the dryness of the landscape. If you like hiking, climbing to the top of the hills and admire the views is worth the hassle The best: the little coves along the coast. The worst: too much litter in a supposedly protected area.

Definitely worth a visit to this wonderful nature reserve. Fantastic landscape and sea views

worth the drive throw the endless greenhouse to finally get to the spot beautiful

Beautiful landscape and a pretty easy hike, although there were a lot of mosquitoes during spring

Nice sight in an incredible natural park.

Great view... absolutely recommended for visit....

The fine sand, dunes and clear water made sure we have to return.

Stunning horseshoe bay with great sand. When the swell is right there are some good surf breaks, and when it's flat the snorkelling around the headlands has lots to see

Beautiful beach. If you go by car, go early since parking is limited.

Best beach in cabo de gata. It's just amazing, when you are in the water and look to the beach you can see all the mountains in the background. If you go by car, have yo pay 6€ to park. You can go by bus from Almería Capital for 3€, just have three times per day, and be careful not to lose the last one at 8 pm.

Nice pretty beach, but it can get very strong winds

Best beach ever in Cabo de Gata natural park ! If you can, come just before the sun is rising. You will be alone and have the beach for you only. And then have a sun rise over the sea for you only.

A nice and very long beach in walking distance from San José (there are paths from the old windmill, it takes about 20 mins) but reachable by car as well, or public transport in the summer season. During the high season there is a fee per car entering the road. The entrance to the sea is very shallow for about 15 to 20m from the shore. Very nice, fine and soft sand. One of very few beaches that I've seen between Cabo de Gata and San José that have vegetation around - eucalyptus grove, agaves and other plants.

We headed to the beach from San José, just over a mile from the town, lovely beach with hills on both sides. We walked further west and climbed a small hill overlooking the beach. Heat views of beach and the mountains to the north. Very green and lush. Amazing amount of wild flower species, all beautiful. Walked further west and past some other lively beaches. Has our lunch on one, some of the rock formations were spectacular. Great area will return and recommend.

Beautiful beach, especially with the immediate surroundings of natural park of sand dunes and hills beyond. Wide and long sand beach. The smaller southern part, walkway to the right from the car park is more a nudist beach. The main part, walkway straight from the car park is general public. Very slow turning deep, so ideal for small children to swim and very little waves, if at all. Good snorkelling and SUP. If staying till close to sunset, be aware of the many aggressive mosquitoes that appear. Better to leave about an hour before sunset.

Absolutely amazing place, scenery is unbelievable, beach is amazing, the only thing is the dirt road you have to go on to get there, bit of a bumpy ride, but worth it once you get there.

Nice playa. Need to pay 6 Euros to enter close but it pays since you can visit few Playas together
