History of Almería-Antonio de Torres International Airport
Before the construction of the Almeria aerodrome, the nearest airport was located in Tabernas, which was opened in 1932 and was abandoned after the Spanish Civil War due to lack of fixed facilities.
Already in the 1950s it was demanded by the people of Almeria as an outlet for early agricultural production, and at the beginning of 1966 its construction began thanks to the General Airports Plan. The first aircraft to land was carrying Air Minister José Lacalle, but the port was officially opened on February 6, 1968. The inauguration was held on this occasion by the mayor of the city, Guillermo Verdejo Vivas, and the national authorities. The design of the airport was done by Almeria-born engineer Juan Valverde.
With a series of improvements carried out by the Ministry of Public Works in the 21st century, an expansion project affecting almost the entire facility has been planned, modernized and adapted to new needs.
