All about Vera Town PDF Print E-mail

Vera is a municipality of the Almerķa province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain.

The original Vera town was built along the coast but was moved inland by the Moors. This area of Spain has a dry climate, which enjoys over 300 days of sunshine each year and has exceptionally mild winter weather. This area of Spain is located just about as far south as it is possible to go in Europe, and protected by the Sierra Cabrera Mountains it boasts the best climate in Europe.

The walled, renaissance town of Vera is one of the most important commercial centres in the region. A traditional old Spanish town which is constantly increasing in popularity with tourists who are attracted to its many shops and handicrafts, Spanish tapas bars, fancy restaurants and the friendliness and hospitality of its inhabitants. For sight-seeing the most important sights are : the church La Encarnacion which was built in 1400 Century, the Royal Hospital San Augustin which was also built in the 1600 Century, the monastery La Victoria, the chapel Espirtu Santo and the historic town museum and the fountain called Cuatro Canos.

The Vera Bullring was originally built in 1879 and later restored in keeping with the old style in 1993. The Bullring is situated on the outskirts of Vera on the road to Garrucha, it is also home to a museum which is open to the public. Bullfights are still performed in the ring today.

Market Day: Don't miss the Saturday morning street market that seems to takes over the whole town, where absolutely everything is on sale, including a few useful items.
