Tapas in Almería’s old town: a visit to La Encina

At the table

For a shared lunch, start with salmorejo or Padrón peppers, then choose a rice dish together. Leave room for crema catalana or cheesecake. Ask the team about portions, availability and allergens before ordering.

A house built in 1860

Behind the façade on Calle Marín is a house built in 1860, with an 11th-century Arab well and a timber ceiling. Come for tapas at the tavern or settle in for a Mediterranean meal.
