Geography of Almería
Almería lies in the south-east of the Peninsula, between the Mediterranean and the Filabres and Gádor ranges. It holds the Tabernas Desert —the only true desert in Europe— and the volcanic headland of Cabo de Gata. Its climate is semi-arid, the driest on the continent, with under 200 mm of rain a year. Vegetation is sparse: esparto grass and scrub. Wildfire risk concentrates in the reforested pine woods of the inland ranges during extremely dry, hot summers. Fun fact: many spaghetti westerns were filmed in Tabernas.
