La Encina

La Encina is a lovely restaurant with imaginative Mediterranean and Spanish food located near the Alcazaba in a house built 1860. For an informal dinner you can visit the tavern that serves tapas.

Dining

Fish, fried, grilled and casseroled, grilled meats and spicy Arab-influenced dishes feature the menus in Almería. Try 'sopa de Almería' (shellfish soup), embutidos (cured meats), gachas (spicy clam stew) and patatas a lo pobre (sautéed potatoes with green peppers). At night, head for the Puerta de Purchena, where everyone seems to be. The surrounding narrow streets are packed with popular restaurants and busy bars.
