Last week, I went with my classmates to visit an archeological site here in Almería. We went by bus, because it was pretty far. Nevertheless, we had to continue walking since it was in the mountain and the bus couldn't get there. When we arrived at the archaeological site, we met a man who had a big knowledge about Almería’s history. He explained to us how people’s daily life in the ancient areas was.
The first thing we did when we entered was that they gave us a small presentation and then the guide began to show us what the houses were like and how they could be saved and not destroyed. He also showed us where things like the water and then we saw old vases, valuable coins and gambling chips.
In my opinion, this place is very nice and it explains the history of all of Almería. I would 100% recommend this place and it would be good for people who come to Almería to stop by here to learn more about the history.
Also, if you go alone there are tablets where you can interact to learn about the things that are there.
This place has been opened for everyone to visit...

The Barrio Andalusí is an archeological discovery which involved an ancient neighbourhood placed very close to the Alcazaba. From my point of view, it was a very interesting trip that I really enjoyed.

From my point of view, another interesting thing we saw it´s an app where we can see how it was the structure or the neighbourhood. I think it´s a good thing because we can see now our ancestors lived and we can also get an idea of the society and economic status of the...
Read moreThe 14 of February, I went with My High School to an archaeological site next to the Alcazaba. We were driven there by bus. The aim of the trip was to learn more of our History and the importance of Almeria in The I century. The place was impressive, we could see that the people who lived there, they had a lot of money for the houses that they built with marble. Also coins were manufactured in Almeria at that time. Another sosprising point way the state of anservation of it, because it was covered by send dere to an earthquake. To decorate their houses, they used boil plants and this also was used to keep mosquitoes away. In my opinion the thing that seemed most interesting to me is that in the same room they cooked, ate and did leisure things. And I would have liked them to have put in some interactive...
