Old castle on the hilltop of Tabernas village, Province of Almería, Spain.

Photography Tips

Great view of the Tabernas Desert from the castle. Bring a tripod and avoid the high season: especially during the Easter Week the place might be crowded as many Andalusians enjoy some short trips in the area.

The white in this image isn't snow, it's the salty remains of what was the bottom of the sea ten million years ago.

Muy buenas panorámica del desierto de Tabernas. Me gusta el toque tétrico que tiene con los colores muy homogéneos.

¡Gracias Rubén! Pasar mucho frío por no llevar la ropa adecuada en lo alto del Castillo Árabe del pueblo de Tabernas ha merecido la pena. Allí arriba hacía muchísimo viento ese día de abril lo que la calma de mi foto no transmite. Me pasé más de una hora allí temblando mientras esperaba el atardecer. El resultado final es una panorámica hecha de seis fotos seguidas.
