The XVth Mediterranean Games Almería 2005, (XV Juegos del Mediterráneo 2005 in Spanish) commonly known as the 2005 Mediterranean Games were the 15th Mediterranean Games. The Games were held in Almería, Spain over 10 days, from 24 June to 3 July 2005, where 3,214 athletes (2,134 men and 1,080 women) from 21 countries participated. There were a total of 258 medal events from 27 different sports.
The rankings sort by the number of gold medals earned by a country. The number of silvers is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze. Equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically if after the above, countries are still tied. This follows the system used by the IOC, IAAF and BBC.
The mascot is a multicolored Indalo, which is a cave painting possibly representing a man holding an arch over his head. Indalete, who was inspired by this ancestral figure, has a kind, likeable and very youthful appearance.
