Pulpí Geode: geological tourism in Almería

Dear guests, if you are interested in geology, minerals or history, this post is for you. In Almeria we find not only amazing beaches and a beautiful coast but also little jewels in the interior of the region. In this case, we talk about the Pulpí geode: an enormous mineral complex located in the Mina Rica, over the Sierra del Aguilón in Almeria. The special thing about this mine is that you can access and see one of the biggest geodes in the world (it's the biggest one open to the public!). After an introduction to the mine with a tour guide, you will learn about the history of Almería and the geological characteristic of its area.
The importance of this geode is such that you can find important studies and National Geographic documentaries and reports. This tour takes like 90 minutes and the temperature in there is between 16ºC and 20ºC. It's important to respect the norms in order to facilitate the maintenance of this unique jewel. They offer tours in English and audio guides in more languages!
