Discovering the Rich History of Palomares

Palomares, a quaint agricultural and fishing town nestled along the breathtaking Mediterranean Sea in Almería, Andalusia, holds a treasure trove of memories and stories. Just 20 meters above sea level, this charming village, part of Cuevas del Almanzora, is not only known for its stunning coastline but also for its remarkable history of Palomares.

One of the most notable events in its past is the tragic incident of 1966, when a B-52 bomber collided mid-air, leading to a serious radioactive contamination. Despite the chaos, safety measures prevented a nuclear disaster, allowing the community to gradually rebuild. This poignant chapter reminds us of the resilience of the local people.
