Exploring the world is my passion. I've been fortunate enough to travel throughout Europe, where I fell in love with the rich history, stunning architecture, and diverse cultures, from the ancient ruins of Rome to the vibrant streets of Paris. Each city has taught me something new and left me with unforgettable memories.
In addition to Europe, I've explored the natural beauty and contagious energy of Brazil. I've been fascinated by its lush nature, its joyful people, and, of course, the incredible samba. Traveling allows me to grow, learn, and connect with the world in a unique way. I'm constantly seeking new adventures and the opportunity to discover places that challenge me to see life from a different perspective.

Outside visit
Puerta de Purchena
Purchena Gate is the heart of Almería, a lively meeting point and the perfect place to begin exploring the city. Upon reaching this central point, you'll find a spacious and vibrant square that offers a fascinating mix of history, architecture, and modern atmosphere.
This is what you'll see and what makes Purchena Gate so special:
The "Butterfly Building"
This is the undisputed icon of the square. This modernist building dates from the early 20th century.

Outside visit
Alcazaba de Almería
The history of the Alcazaba begins in 955, when Caliph Abd al-Rahman III ordered its construction after granting Almería the title of "medina." It was conceived not only as a military fortress, but also as the seat of government and a palace for rulers. Over the centuries, different Islamic kingdoms (Taifas, Almoravids, Almohads, and Nasrids) adapted and enriched it, until in 1489 it passed into the hands of the Catholic Monarchs, who built a castle.

Outside visit
Catedral de Almería
The first thing that catches your eye is its façade. Instead of the usual pinnacles and aerial buttresses, Almería Cathedral presents itself as a fortress, with thick walls, massive bastion-like towers, and an almost square floor plan. You'll notice:
The three large gates: The main façade has a large Renaissance-style gate, the Puerta de las Palmas, with a beautiful relief of the Annunciation. On the sides are the side gates, the Puerta de los Perdones and the Puerta de la Ambulatorio.
