Beautiful and quiet park with the fountain.

The Nicolás Salmerón Park is an urban park in the city of Almería ( Spain ), between the port and the city. It is divided into three areas known as Parque Viejo, Parque Nuevo and Paseo de San Luis. The Old Park, as the area next to the port is popularly called, from the Rambla de la Chanca to the roundabout of the Fuente de los Peces, designed by Jesús de Perceval , at the foot of Calle Real, was designed by José María de Acosta and there are many centuries-old trees. The surroundings of the park are decorated with fountains and ponds, as well as street furniture and rows of palm trees. The Parque Nuevo, in turn, is an area decorated with ponds and fountains, redesigned in the seventies by Guillermo Langle Rubio on the occasion of the Spanish Navy Week. It runs from the aforementioned roundabout to Avenida de la Reina Regente.

One of a total of 5 fountains in the Nicolás Salmerón Park. In the fountain "Los Hombres del Mar", the monument to the Spanish Navy (El Remador), the paint on the inside of the vessel was replaced with a stoneware coating and natural stone was replaced with artificial stone. Cleaning and repairing cracks on the surface of the sculpture and replacing the lighting system are other measures that were initially carried out and were completed with the installation of the spotlights and the cleaning of the sculpture and the existing marble.

The mineral loading station, known as the “Cable Inglés”, is located on the Playa de las Almadrabillas, next to the east pier and at the end of a railway branch. It was initially owned by the English mining company “The Alquife Mines Railway Limited” (hence its name), which acquired the concession in 1901 and began construction immediately in 1902. It is a good example and a masterpiece of iron architecture at the beginning of the 20th century. Its construction was made possible by the construction of the port and the railway. The style is eclectic, but introduces a new architectural expression characterized by the use of new materials such as iron. It is surrounded by the beach and a bridge connecting it to the station. It consists of two parts: the access that connects the station to the loading station and the loading point itself, through which the trains could unload directly into the holds of the ships. Its access begins at the end of the track, and the central part rests on large round arches on pillars of carved stone, separated by metal parts on the base of large iron beams. In 1998 it was declared a Cultural Asset due to its historical, symbolic and visual importance.
