Almería is not just a city but a province you may get more answers if you said whereabouts within the province you are thinking, unless of course you do actually mean the city of Almería?

Re: Renting accomodation in Almeria
Hi pwwm, thanx for your reply and sorry i should have been more specific with my question. We would like to rent somewhere but not got any specific city in mind as long as the crime rate is not too high, are there any cities that you could recommend? we will also be looking to find employment once there i have done some research and believe the unemployment rate is quite high percentage wise, could you also throw any light on this one for me please? We do not mind what sort of employment, however i do not have any qualifications but my friend who is travelling with me is classed as a senior carer

Work will be very very hard to find, as you rightly say in Spain it is running at 25% on average over the country with someareas like mine with more than 50%. It will be hard in nigh on impossible to find work sorry, you may be lucky though.
Re Almería, sorry cannot help too much, but you could look at Roquetas de Mar which is close to the city of Almería there are some expat bars there. Or head further north to Albox or Vera areas.
Province runs from near me at Adra, very Spanish town with fishing etc. and onward past the city up to Vera etc. Lots of small towns you really need to peruse the map and thencheck online, Mojacar play and pueblo also spring to mind, lot of expats but I dont know about these areas, so would hate to give wrong impression.
Good luck with your search,
Pat
