Though I started the Mozárabe in Almería a few years ago, I am sorry to say that I knew nothing about the Archeological Museum there.
Well, a few days ago, @Doughnut NZ posted a link to a Guardian article about the Algar, a Bronze Age culture living near Almería a few thousand years ago.
Than, @Kathar1na posted a link to a marvelous online display from the Museum of Almeria that documents and explains the Algar culture. It is very well done, and it is definitely a not-to-be-missed attraction in a city with attractions that span a lot of history — for instance, the Moorish castle, and the Spanish Civil War shelters that have been preserved and are open to small tour groups,
There are a few other important attractions in Almería, and I remember that @Raggy and @islandwalker have discussed a few, so maybe they will chime in here.
All in all, I will venture the opinion that if you are going to start walking in Almería, having a day or so ahead of time to visit the sites is a very good idea.
And not to forget, of course, that the Almería camino association is probably the most energetic, friendly, and helpful association I have met over many years on many different caminos.
