El Almiñe is one of the many towns that will surprise the visitor along the route, due to a very well preserved popular architecture. The town is rich in historical monuments. The tour may begin in the Romanesque Iglesia de San Nicolás.
The beauty of the noble housings with the noble emblems hanging on the facades, and the richness of these same facades, give evidence of the importance of this town. The Torre or tower, one of the only remaining parts of the castle, and the hermitage of Santa Isabel, complete the wide range of monuments.
