We have just visited the Alcazaba this May, wonderful place. Make sure you go on a day when it is not windy, as you will be able to walk up the tower and get some amazing views. We went on a windy day and weren't able to go up the lookout, but still, we enjoyed the Alcazaba.

I would suggest getting the Bus to Almeria from any stop in Roquetas. At the main Bus station in Almeria I would hop into a Taxi straight to the Alcazaba. The entrance is kinda hard to find if you don't know where you are going and you would have to walk through one of the rougher areas. It isn't too bad, just watch out for pickpocketers.

On your journey back, just save the taxi number and call for a taxi to collect you at the Alcazaba ("Un taxi a la Alcazaba, por favor") and then they can take you back to the main bus station (Estación de Autobuses de Almeria)

It is definitely worth seeing the Alcazaba, especially if you are a GOT fan :D

Thank you so much for the info, I think the local bus and taxi seem to be the best option. I will also check the weather before I plan to go! 😀

Depends when we go. We went one October and a breeze would've been welcome even then. Especially having walked up through the town.
