What people say

"It was built in the 14th century to protect the Alcazaba, to which it is connected by an outer wall. It offers impressive views of Malaga and the sea, and the historic city center stretches out at its feet. The main tower, 17 meters high, is located at the top, along with a Phoenician well and the baths. The parade ground is home to the barracks and the White Tower, which houses a cistern and other outbuildings. It has an Interpretation Center to learn more about its history."
"Up the hill from the Alcazaba, is the old Castillo. It offers stunning views of the city and surrounding mountains, plus a look into the history of the region. If you visit both locations on the same day you can buy a combination pass for reduced entry. I would also suggest taking public transit to the top, as the walk up is 100% hill and can tire your legs. "
Sara Lemeire
" Start your day at the castle of Gibralfaro. You’ll have the opportunity to get a first taste of Malaga with one of the most beautiful scenic view over the city, the sea and sometimes even the Strait of Gilbratar."
