The mountain is also home to a large park, which is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a picnic. Mount Gibralfaro is a beautiful part of Malaga and a must-see for any visitor to the city.

Be prepared that the road to the castle is really slippery. Road is made by stones, which were walked so many times that it became really slippery during the years.

Visit the Alcazaba, an 11th century Moorish fortress

The Alcazaba of Malaga is one of the most stunning landmarks in the city. It is a hilltop fortress that was built in the 11th century as a military stronghold in order to protect the city from possible invasions. It is an impressive sight, with almost 3 km of walls, towers and palaces, which are all made of red brick, and stand out against the blue sky. Inside the walls, there are several gardens, courtyards and a cistern, as well as the remains of the old palace. Visitors can also explore the archaeological site, which includes the remains of the old Roman theater and the old Moorish bathhouse. The fortress is a great place to explore, with its stunning views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. It is also one of the most important historical sites in Malaga, and a great place to learn about the city’s past.
