Spanish Partner Presentation for Konya meeting

At the beginning of the 1960's, economic indicators pointed to Almeria as the province with the lowest per capita income in Spain and one of the most depressed areas of Europe.
Today, Almeria is one of the provinces in Spain with the largest increase in their rates of economic development.

The economic drivers have been:
  • Intensive agriculture (greenhouses)
  • Tourism
  • Extraction of natural stone (marble)
