Shopping in the village
Alhama de Almería, home to almost 4,000 people, keeps the kind of local commerce that brings a village to life: you shop on foot, greet people as you walk in, and order your bread by first name. Avenida Nicolás Salmerón y Alonso acts as the shopping street, with stores and services also scattered through the streets around the town hall. And on Friday mornings, the weekly street market tops up the pantry.
We will add more shops as their details are confirmed.
