| Traditionally
a farming town, Turre is nowadays the best place to get
to know the cuisine of Eastern Almería. Most of
its municipal area is in the Sierra Cabrera, a mountain
range of particular beauty in which are hidden the ruins
of muslim towns, such as Cabrera or Teresaa, abandoned
after the Moorish expulsion. On the outskirts, there are
two of the oldest and best housing estates in the area,
Cabrera and Cortijo Grande.
