Cheap flights from Manchester, United Kingdom to Almería, Spain

Remember that during the siesta from 14:00 till 18:00, most shops, restaurants, and cafes are closed. However, if you are thirsty or hungry, you can go to the Lidl chain of supermarkets. There you will find good prices, and except for purchases, you can take shelter in the shade and cool down in Almeria's hot daytime.

Staying in Cuartos residenciales (residential quarters) has only benefits. It is located near the central district of Almeria and takes 15 minutes to the centre and 10 minutes to the beaches on foot, but prices here are much lower. You can buy tapas for 1-2 euro (they cook perfect tapas in any street stall). Also, a huge Lidl supermarket is in a stone's throw here, where you can buy anything you want.

Sitting in the restaurant, one can note an interesting feature: during a meal, people can brush crumbs and garbage on the floor; this is considered quite acceptable. The Spaniards believe that it is simply unacceptable to put dirty napkins and other garbage on the dining table — it should lie on the floor, which is swept by the restaurant workers several times a day. It is only up to you to decide if you follow this rule, but one shouldn't show your surprise in this case.
