Things to Do within the Almeria / Vera area The Water Park is only 5 mins drive from Vera, and a great day out.
If you are traveling with children, you must spend a day at Parque Aquatico Vera. This water park is packed with water slides, flumes, and wave pools. The slides range from the thrilling Kamikaze to the less challenging kiddies slides. The water park is open from May to September. About 17 Euros for Adults and 8 for Children
If you happen to be in Vera in the month of September, you will not want to miss the nine-day Celebration of San Cleofás. The celebration dates back to the 1500s when the Moors and Christians finally ended their battles. Today, the nine-day event offers parades, games, races, culinary delights, bonfires, and more!
The sixteenth century Church of the Incarnation is a Baroque style chapel with one rectangular main building with towers erected on each corner. The main feature of this church is the glorious altarpiece. Another area church, Church of San Agustin also dates to the sixteenth century.
Hermitage of our Lady of the Orchards was erected in the late 1500s. This church sits on the outskirts of town. Regardless, its amazing architectural details are still impressive and worth the trip!

After the battle between the Moors and the Christians, the Moors were forced to create their own community away from the town centre. This area, called “The Hill of the Spirit Santo,” can be toured by visitors. Most of the buildings were destroyed by an earthquake, but the remnants of their water system and a few walls are still visible.
The 19th century City Hall houses a historical museum. It is certainly worth seeing.
More than five kilometers of sandy beach span Vera’s coastline. There are a number of public beaches. Please be aware that one section is for nudists only.
Finally, spend some time shopping in the area. Many artisans sell their goods from stores in Vera. The city square, established in the 1800s, is beautiful with flowering gardens and rows of boutiques and cafes. (Youtube Video link) Mini Hollywood: is the longest established of three theme parks existing in the area. The other two 'Western Leone' and 'Texas Hollywood' are still part-time working film locations. Mini-Hollywood is now entirely given over to the theme-park business and provides a variety of attractions, which include, a twice daily simulation of a spectacular Wild West gunfight when bandits ride into town to hold up the bank, a carriage museum, a film museum, a cactus garden and an animal zoo.
