Car hire at Almeria airport
Car hire is very
competitive and reasonable (from around 120 euros per week). There are several
car hire desks in the airport arrivals lounge, some are stationed in the
car park across the road and others are a short courtesy bus ride away.
The following are some
examples of companies which normally allow an extra driver free of charge (a
consideration if you want Tuco Tours to drive you). Some companies make a
small charge for extra drivers.

Buses
It's
about a 30 minute ride into town and costs 0.90 euros. They run about every
half hour from the bus stop outside the terminal.
Taxis
The ten minute taxi ride to the centre will cost about 12-15 euros.
Parking
You need to bear in mind
that parking in the city is a struggle. The big hotels have their own but the
budget hotels do not.
There are covered car parks (at a price) or you can
find free on-street parking on the fringes but expect a ten minute walk.

Hotels in Almeria
You can search for
hotels and get good deals on sites such as http://www.hotelclub.net/hotel.reservations/Almeria.htm
However, you should be
aware that some hotels described as "city centre" can be a long
way from the action. The true city centre lies astride the Paseo de
Almeria and the following are hotels which are well located for a proper
appreciation of the city.

Hotels out of town
Cortijo el
Sotillo, San
Jose
http://www.cortijoelsotillo.com
This is where it all began for the Dollars Trilogy - the man
with no name first appeared at this traditional farmhouse in 1964. It is
now converted and extended into an attractive hotel and equestrian
centre.
Hostal Alba, Los Albaricoques
http://www.hostal-alba.com
Here, you are in the heart of gun-slinging territory and the
hotel has mementos from the films. It's modestly
priced and has a lively bar and dining room.
