alcazaba

Good way to spend a couple of hours. Only 2.20 euros -although free on Sunday pm. Easy to locate. Quite a bit of walking around. Great views of the city. Lots to explore.

Brilliant views of the city. Worth using the lift to get to the entrance. The views of the Roman site are also good

A good value excursion. Interesting architecture and great views, getting better the higher you got. Very tranquil in some of the courtyards.

Buy a joint ticket for this and Gibralfaro - the Alcazaba is interesting - many viewpoints and attractive patio areas with water features , not much information or interpretation on site as such but well worth the very small admission price - lots of steps and cobbled surfaces so dont go wearing unsuitable shoes.

So much to explore around and look at. Ornate buildings, tiles, etc, or the fortifications and defences, or the orchards of fruit trees growing inside. A very well spent 2 euro!

When you are in the city of Malaga, a visit to the Alcazaba is very nice. The entrance fee is reasonable (€ 2.20 adult) and it's in the middle of the town and easy to find. You have great views over the city and shows a great piece of history. Really worth the trip. Unfortunately you cannot walk straight over to Castillo de Gibralfaro.

A magnificent Moorish C11 fortress with small gardens, channels of running water and fountains.Magnificent views every few metres of the sea and the town Steep but fine if you take your time. Very cheap entrance charge. There were also new pottery vessels on display which allowed you to see how pottery looked centuries ago.

If you are in Malaga go visit the Alcazaba (the castle). It's a beautiful and peacefull place in the middle of the town. You walk up amazing paved paths and are able to go to several look-out places along the old walls. The garden is very wellkept and have some wonderfull areas with running water. The materials, the bricks, are old, and the newer ones look much the same as the old ones. Fascinating colours.We paid € 0,60 p.p. as retired! Thank you to the Ayuntamiento de Málaga :-)

Worth popping in if you´re in the centre as it´s only 2 euros 20 each. Wasn´t the most impressive after visiting the Alhambra and Alcaza in Seville but has some lovely views overlooking the city and has a peaceful bar which is good for relaxing with a glass of wine.

Granada this is not, but in many ways it's much more approachable and understandable. Good if you could see this before Granada. The walk up to the hotel at the top is very rewarding for the view and lunch on their terrace.

A serene spot crowning the city with fantastic views of the port and the "Med".... and after your stroll pop into one the many streetside restaurants and enjoy a tapas. My favourite is La Lechuga on Merced Square.

We were amazed by this building! We had thought that we were paying for entry to the Roman theatre, but instead we had access to this wonderful building and its exhibitions. The Moorish influence is evident at every turn, and the views it affords of the city and the coast are quite beautiful.

This was our first sight seeing spot on our visit to Spain. What a worthwhile beginning to our travels. You can just feel the amazing history and contemplate the life that was experienced centuries ago amongst the towers and gardens. It has the tiny patios and fountains and arches and the carvings that you would expect at the Real Alcazar in Seville or the Alhambra in Granada. While on a smaller scale here, it has a much older history and makes me wonder if the others were modeled on this one in some ways. Definitely worth the modest entry fee and the time to wander. As an added bonus, you get remarkable views over the sea and the city.

We were only in Malaga for a weekend, so didn't have time to leave the city and visit other sites in the south of Spain. So this was a great choice to visit to get a feel for the history of Malaga. It was a lovely sunny day, and we enjoyed walking around the grounds and gardens. It is a very photogenic spot with great views over Malaga. The entrance is not far from Malaga cathedral, so very central. We purchased a combination ticket which let us visit the castle further up the hill too, 7. 55 euro for the two of us, so good value we thought, compared to other European attractions. It's true that some more signage in English could be good, but I was happy to just walk and look at the plants and architecture.

If your legs are not so strong any more there is an elevator that will bring you inside the palace of the Alcazaba. It is on the south side of the hill on Guillén Sotelo Street, right behind the city hall.The palace is plendid, with some exhibits of archeological finds. Unique views of the city.
