What we will do

This protected Natural Site is an unique natural space in Spain and in the world. Tabernas Desert boasts of being the only natural desert in Europe, as it receives less than 200 litres of water per year. The singularity of its flora and fauna have to do with its territory’s climate and dryness. An inhospitable and wild place that won’t disappoint you.

Tabernas Desert and its environment belong to the collective imagination of a whole generation. Its wild landscapes have been used since the 1960s as outdoor film sets. Hollywood’s movies or the famous Spaghetti Western meant the beginning of an industry that still has a main role nowadays in Almería. TV shows like Game of Thrones or movies such as Exodus or Wonder Woman, among other productions, are still recorded each year in Tabernas.

Traveling the ancient seabed through its now dry rivers, by walk or even by car, is a supernatural experience. There are ancient movie settings, theme parks, olive presses, wineries and even a race track. But if none of that appeals to you, we can always go to the sky of Almería and watch the greatness of the desert from its nearest peak.

On this day trip we offer you the commodity to discover this natural place from your home. Your personal guide, your private transport and your companions. You choose the rate and the activity.

Wonderful experience

Emílio was our guide in Almeria and we loved him! We did the tour at our pace as he was kind, patient and had a wonderful knowledge of the city! We definitely recommend him and his company!

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.
