Castillo de Gibralfaro

Reviewed By simono440 - Scarborough, United Kingdom

We got up here using the hop on hop off red bus tour, you can walk up but that didn’t look like much fun. It cost a couple of euros each to get in. All the signs / info is in Spanish so I can’t tell you much about it’s history, there is a small museum in the middle with a variety of exhibits & some fantastic model soldiers to see. We went for the views & were not disappointed. Worth the entrance price for that. Had a beer whilst looking out over the harbour, all very nice. Watch your feet though, some of steps are at really odd heights & some of the cobbles could be “trippers”. Spent a very pleasant hour up here.

We were staying in Benalmadena Pueblo and this was just a short 15-20 minute walk down hill (but a steep walk back up) from where we were staying.The entrance fee was just €2.00 which was great value and in our opinion was well worth a visit.

Castillo de la Estrella

Reviewed By johnl1950 - Barnsley, United Kingdom

Luckily we were dropped off,after short drive,up the hill. Not a lot left of the castle, a few ruined walls and a keep. Well worth looking round the keep, weapons and history of battle of Taba,and the death of Black Douglas and his quest. Also wonderful views across the valley.

Alcazaba La Fortaleza de Velez Malaga

Our time in Malaga was very limited but I’m so glad we carved out time for the Alcazaba! The tour provides a glimpse into the compelling history of this region, and affords stuffing views of the city and the water!

Palacio de Mondragon

Reviewed By Bluesman2009 - Mijas, Spain

Palacio Mondragon is to be found in the Plaza Mondragon, between the Plaza Maria Auiliadora and the Plaza Duquesa de Parcent in the old city. And in this we have a delightfully attractive palace that, prior to its last renovation, was in ruins. As Moorish palaces go it’s fairly small, but it contains many interesting details, some of which have been substantially renovated and part modernised. The balconied inner courtyards, the Mudejar ceilings and some original tiling are there, but the main features are the remaining water gardens, somewhat smaller versions akin to the Generalife gardens at Granada. This is one of the properties that line the edge of the Tajo Gorge and provide superb views to the Serrania of Ronda. The upper floor of the Palacio provides a home for Ronda’s museum and a permanent display of local natural history, which gives a good insight into the formation of Ronda from the times before the Moors arrived. The generally accepted date of construction of the Palacio is 1314 and it appears to have a genuine Moorish pedigree, so if any building has a claim to be called the house of the Moorish King, it is this one. Some say that it was built for King Abomelik (one of the several versions of his name), but he didn’t appear on the scene until around the 1330’s, somewhat later than the construction date of the Palacio. So, if the palace was not built for him, he may well have lived in it. One who actually did live in the Palacio Mondragon was Hamet el Zegri, the last Moorish governor of Ronda since it had become incorporated into the Emirate of Granada and what was the final Muslim dynasty to be located on the Iberian peninsular. Stacks to explore, both inside and out and the sort of place you will find yourself visiting more than once. Thanks for reading this and if you've found it helpful I'd appreciate a ‘thumbs up’ below.
