Follow in the footsteps of Indiana Jones and uncover the history of Almería.
Almería Capital is the hidden treasure of Andalusia. This port city reflects its iconic landmarks on the sea: the impressive Alcazaba and Jayrán’s Walls, the colorful Chanca neighborhood, its wide promenades, the elegant food market, the fortress-like Cathedral, its sunlit beaches, and the recently inaugurated Cable Inglés and Museum of Spanish Realism.
But to truly discover Almería, one must delve into its universal legacy in the world of cinema. Bardot, Connery, HBO, Spielberg, and David Lean are just a few names on an endless list that began in 1957. What was Almería like back then, and what sparked its cinematic journey? With Lorens, visit Almería by connecting its grand history to the story of its film productions, and let yourself be carried away by the emotions and surprises we have in store for you…

Almería: The Natural Set of the Hoya Gardens
The Hoya Gardens, located in the historic heart of Almería, are an iconic space that complements the grandeur of the Alcazaba monumental complex. Following their recent renovation, these gardens have not only regained their splendor but now enhance the beauty of Jayrán’s Walls and the iconic San Cristóbal hill.
Their central location, nestled between the city’s two historic hills, has captured the attention of filmmakers for over 70 years. Once an underutilized area, it naturally became the backdrop for historical battles, such as in Cleopatra (1963), or grandiose sets, like in Risen (2016), starring Joseph Fiennes.
If you’re looking to create unforgettable memories, take your time, and break away from the ordinary, trust us. From the more than 100 films and series shot in Almería that form our unique collection, we have selected these and many more to enrich your experience through our “Travelling” or “Beyond Screen” tours, blending history and cinema in an original and captivating way. Let our guides surprise you!
