Budget:
La Bodeguilla de Ramón, Almeria City
A hole-in-the-wall tapas bar with plastic chairs and tables outside, cheap but cheerful.
Mid-range:
Casa Puga, Almeria City
One of Almeria’s classic tapas bars. Stand by the counter with the regulars or take a table at the side beneath dangling hams and wines racked upside down (the wine list is amazing). The bar has been under the ownership of the same family since 1870!
