A walk up the hill to the Alcazaba is well worth the effort. The views are divine, affording amazing uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. The audio guide taking you around the fortress is also excellent and endeavours to take you back in time. On the day we visited there were little or no visitors, providing us plenty of time... More

Well worth the walk uphill!! At €6, entry includes a very good audio guide and entry to the Colegiata de Santa Maria la Mayor. Views from the Alcazaba are spectacular.

Excellent audio tour and amazing views. Shame it closes 2pm - 6pm, especially as you have to get back by 2pm to give in audio set and reclaim passport! Well worth a visit, however and relatively cheap too - think it was about 3 euros each, but we paid a bit more to visit the church too - well worth... More

I can only recommend visiting the Alcazaba, I took the audio tour which was well-produced and interesting, a place with great history and beautiful views onto the town and the area.
