Mike's review

Visited 2026
best for Moorish history, city views, old town route

The city-history anchor: Roman Theatre below, Moorish walls above, old town behind. Do this before adding Gibralfaro on a hot day.

From the source

Málaga's Alcazaba is the Moorish fortress above the Roman Theatre and below Gibralfaro, making it the main historical anchor in the old-town route.
