The Alcazaba of Malaga is one of the wonders that this province hides, full of both cultural and visual wealth.
The Arab Alcazaba of Malaga is a fortification from the Muslim era that is located under the Gibralfaro Castle, built to house the troops and protect them from attacks. One of its greatest charms is the complex building that it has, this is due to the irregularity of the terrain, which made this a unique and unrepeatable structure. This construction is linked to the Gibralfaro Castle through a walled corridor called Coracha, which is located on top of the hill that bears his name.
At the top of Gibralfaro you can enjoy the most beautiful views in all of Malaga, which is why it is one of the most outstanding viewpoints in the city, without a doubt it will not leave you indifferent.
