Being located on Calle Jovellanos, 16 street, Taberna Nuestra Tierra offers the best tapas, according to locals' opinion. Traditionally, you need to order a glass of beer and choose tapas for it. However, its staff is so warm-hearted that they are ready to deviate from the rule about the alcoholic beverage and still treat you with tapas for free, whatever you choose beer, juice or just coffee.

The city of Almeria has a very interesting Librería Picasso bookstore. Except for a large variety of books, it often hosts various cultural events. If you are searching for a great gift, try to find the exclusive editions of the worldwide Spanish writer Federico García Lorca. Book lovers will highly appreciate such a purchase or gift.

Locals always advise tourists not to leave Almeria until buying some local olive oil. Oleoestepa, Borges and Hacendado Gran Seleccion Mercadona are the best brands, easily found in most shops. Export rules can change, but usually, tourists carrying 2-3 bottles of oil have no troubles at the customs.
