For a bird’s-eye view of Málaga, wind your way up through fragrant pines to Gibralfaro Castle. It’s a sight that has dominated the bay for over a thousand years. Patrol the ramparts before heading to the mirador to marvel at views of the sunset. Those with wealth to rival Gibralfaro’s mediaeval caliphs may enjoy a meal at Parador’s delightful resto

A great trip for history buffs or anyone looking to do some sightseeing in Malaga. The castle was built in 929AD by Abd-al-Rahman III, Caliph of Cordoba, on a former Phoenician enclosure and lighthouse, from which its name was derived. You can buy a combined ticket for Gibralfaro and Alcazaba.

The magnificent Castillo de Gibralfaro sits on a high hill overlooking Malaga city and port, and dates back to the 10th century. The most visible remains of this historic monument are the solid ramparts which rise majestically from dense woods of pine and eucalyptus; inside the fortress itself you will find some buildings and courtyards, reminiscent of those in the Alhambra.
