Almeria, as a city is very much different from other small cities of Europe. Whereas most other old cities are very rich in history and boast a lot of historical sites, Almeria has made its way into the modern world and has developed a lot.

The Crystal Cave

The entrance point of this cave since then has been strongly blocked by around 5 tons of rock plus has complete police protection so that looters cannot enter. According to many geological models, this crystal cave got formed around the time, perhaps 6 million years back, during the Messinian salinity crisis. It is the time when Mediterranean Sea got evaporated and thus left very thick layers made of evaporites.
