About The Alcazaba and Gibralfaro

The Alcazaba climbs the hill above Málaga’s centre, a Moorish palace-fortress of gardens, gateways and courtyards, with the Roman theatre at its foot. Higher up, the Gibralfaro castle gives the best view over the city and the port. Wear good shoes: the paths are steep.
