Turre information
Turre
is dedicated to the Inmaculada Concepción and the Ermita
de San Francisco. In matters of food, Turre cuisine is best
knownn for its strongly-flavoured local stews, dishes such
as migas with tropezones, gurullos, olla de trigo, pelotas,
caracoles, fritailla and ajo colorao, and its varied selection
of deserts.
One site well woth a visit is the old town, the ruins of the
banks of the Ibero-Roman city of Cadima, on the banks of the
Río Aguas. Here, two hundred years BC, was a bustling city that left many valuable
remains in the form of ceramics and coins, many of which are
exhibited in the Museo de Almería today.
Sierra Cabrera boasts an unequalled range of historic buildings
in the ruins of two towns dating from 1570: Teresa and Cabrera.
In Teresa a mosque/ church
with an impressive arch and vault remains, along with sections
of two hidraulic mills, an aqueduct and many underground caves.
In Cabrera there is the base of a tower, the walls of a mosque/church,
two water deposits and much of the old walls of the town,
together with the Cueva del Algarrobo and the old Araba settlements
of Inox and el Tiján. Close to Agramasón are
the remains of the Arab reservoir, and many other marvellous
monuments such as La Carrasca, Los Moralicos, El Dondo, Cufría,
Huerta Llana, Mófar and la Adelfa.
