How safe is Almeria for solo female travelers?

Group travel

I reall loved it. The water us cold tho and when it's windy dont get in the water haha. When I was there it was really hot and then one day it was randomly really cold so take warmer clothes with you. There were no creeps it was pretty safe. There are men on the beach who make things out of sand. Don't look at them directly or they will want you to pay to look. On the beach men also sell a lot of things and want you to pay so be safe. There ks a cute boba shop next to the beach and it's really cool cause you need to buy a few boba teas and you get one for free. They are also really good.

I spent a month at the coast of Copacabana which is relatively close to the city centre of Almeria but pretty calm and surrounded by little houses and couple of restaurants. If you have a car I definitely recommend going to el Cabo de gata playas and natural park. All along the coast there are a lot of little cities with typical architecture and also lot of expats. You can eat local and have many pleasant encounters. I recommend at least basic command in Spanish ;)

Almería is a city where I feel very observed, but at the same time, having lived here for so many years, I feel safe. Depending on the area, you have to be more or less careful. At night it's not advisable to go alone.

It is quite a safe and calm city, I haven't been living here for long, but I have felt safe at all times. I've walked alone at dawn and everything is very calm, I've never felt unsafe or harassed.
