What we will do

The province of Almería offers a huge scenic and ecologic variety due to its geological past and its geographic and strategic location. The dryness that Almería holds in the public imagination is not entirely true. Almería has everything: snow, desert and sea, where it highlights its prominent 217 km of coast.

Within a radius of 60 km the natural landscapes suffer incredible changes. Snow in medium and high mountain ranges such as Filabres, Gádor or Sierra Nevada. Arid zones like Tabernas Desert or Karst in Yesos of Sorbas. The crystal clear water of the Alborán Sea that baths the coasts of its beautiful bay. The  underwater magma that mould 63 kilometers of cliffs and beaches with a volcanic origin in Cabo de Gata. An extreme nature that makes Almería a unique province in biodiversity and full of endemisms. These landscapes are an infinite range of possibilities for the practice of hiking and ecotourism.

Its variety is also reflected in a large road network and paths. There are different kinds of paths: coastals, interiors, high mountain trails, even urban or semiurban. Places surrounded by unspoilt nature where you can enjoy with your group, doing ecotourism and hiking activities outdoors with your family. We can advise and recommend to you the one that best suits your needs and your fitness and health. In short, we are a personal hiking service à la carte in Almería.

Beautiful tour

Everything was perfect . The tour was so informative. I have learned many historical things about Almería. Our tour guide Emilio made sure that we see all the historical places and point out the smallest details that makes every site a unique experience. Very friendly atmosphere.

We did a tour of the refugios with Emilio and his team and it was amazing! They are knowledgeable, friendly, adaptable, and fully bilingual. In addition to giving insights and historical context, he connected it with the city’s present architecture and imbued a difficult topic of war with uplifting themes. Definitely a one of a kind experience and the best way to discover Almería’s landmarks. Don’t miss out on this amazing tour company!

I’ve been in contact with Raizes Turismo Personal through two touristic excursions. The first one was to Cabo de Gata with a team of professors. And the second one was a visit to Almeria city with friends from different countries. In the both experiences, the guide was the same (Emilio), but his way of telling things was totally different. I found him creative and knows how to manage each situation.
For me, what distinguishes them from others, besides being professionals and conveying their passion, is the fact of taking into consideration the background of each client.
