The Alcazaba is a great way to introduce yourself to Moorish Spain. Entrance fee is very cheap (if you're a student you only pay 0.60 euro) but the place is extremely well-kept. The gardens are charming and the views from the top are incredible. If you're in Málaga, don't miss out! more

I think this was my favourite attraction in all of Malaga. The views from the top were amazing and everything was beautiful and very well restored and clean! Free admission on Sunday afternoons after 2pm and well worth the time to walk around. more
