Mezquita Cathedral de Cordoba

Roman Catholic church that was once a mosque. Blending many architectural styles, the structure evolved over the centuries.

Reviewed By FESTEE

I suspect I’m in a curmudgeonly minority for whom the many fellow tourists apparently more concerned to photograph their visit (and of course themselves) than to feel anything while they’re there detract from the experience, so I’ll move on to the Mezquita Cathedral of Córdoba itself: it is genuinely awe-inspiring. The atmosphere and beauty of the place, the record-in-stone of historical events, artisanal craft, religious devotion, riches and power are worthy of buying a postcard or book to record the place, leaving you free to be, well, moved (or even, if you like, well-moved;).

The Alhambra

The second most visited site in Europe: this breathtaking palace-city is a sophisticated blend of medieval Islamic, Renaissance Christian and modern architectural styles..

Reviewed By 381lianem

A wonderful experience, palaces, wonderful gardens, etc etc. take time to explore, best on your own ... book online the general day pass on the official Alhambra site (well in advance/months before you plan to go, as they are sold out fast) and take the time to enjoy the vast „Alhambra sight in the different day lights. Take Buslinie C32 and C 31 to get to the main entrance of the Alhambra ( Tickets 1,40€/person, available on the bus), it is quite a steep walk from the city center...

Real Alcazar de Sevilla

Beautiful medieval Islamic palace showcasing a unique fusion of Spanish Christian and Moorish architecture.

Reviewed By LemonBistro

A must visit if you're in Seville! (Side note: also where they filmed Dorne in Game of Thrones, which is a huge thing!) See the stunning architecture from Muslim to Christian influences and spend an hour just reflecting in one of the most gorgeous botanical gardens I've ever seen.

Marbella Old Town

This old neighborhood is full of romance, with narrow, winding cobblestone streets: great for evening strolls.

Reviewed By Hermes_NL - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Marbella is not just a glitzy beach town but also an highly historic city dating back to the times of the Moors. The old town is choc full of character with the old fortifications, narrow streets, colorful churches, little chapels, lively squares, and of course many restaurants and shops. Very much worthwhile to go to essentially every day during your Marbella stay.

Malaga Cathedral

Reviewed By Irishgirlabroad - Malaga, Spain

A visit to Málaga Cathedral should be on everyone’s list of things to do and see in Málaga! The cost of entry varies according to age and the option you choose but all include headphones with a multilingual guide handset. It is simple to operate and you can follow the planned numbered route around the Cathedral (including the main steps outside) at your own pace. I would suggest you allow at least 90 minutes to wander around and sit to take in the sheer scale of the building and to appreciate the artwork and architecture. A little known option is that there are a couple of tours a day that take you up onto the roof of the cathedral ( you will need to check at the reception desk for the times and plan accordingly .. you then buy a ticket which includes the roof tour). For me this was the highlight of our visit. There are approx 200 stone steps to climb so flat, comfortable shoes are a must but the spectacle 360 degree views over the city of Malaga were well worth it.

Alcazaba

Built between 1057 and 1063, this is probably the most important military fortification remaining from the Hispanic-Arabic period.

Reviewed By Fussybut - London, United Kingdom

This Moorish castle in the centre of Malaga is a must see for any visitor - not only offering unparalleled views over the port, cathedral, park and city but stretching over to the mountains behind. Breathtaking rooms and decoration, the usual fantastic Mozarabic flowing water features complement the week preserved and restored structures - what an elegant and massive fortress. There’s a nice little bar half way up the route and best of all it costs little more than £2 less for concessions.

Historic neighborhood that used to be the fisherman's district

Reviewed By V7849AZjohnb - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

An easy walk to Benalmadena marina or a longer walk to Torremalinos along a perfectly flat and clean promenade.Shops bars and restaurants along the way with a lovely backstreet full of attractions,call into the Elephant bar for a refreshing drink on a hot day.Have visited this part of the Costa Del Sol 3 times in the last few years for our wedding anniversary and hopefully again in the future.

Torre Tavira

Watch tower from the eighteenth century, situated in the down town and the highest point of the city, turned today into a focal point of cultural interest. The tower has two exhibition halls, the Camera Obscura and the terrace from which you can enjoy wonderful views of CádizIts Cámara Obscura was the first one installed in Spain.

Reviewed By eagertraveller123

Great panoramic views of Cádiz, totally worth the climb. The camera oscura is also great. Marta was really really nice.

Benalmadena Pueblo (The Old Village)

Reviewed By 445catherineh - Luton, United Kingdom

We have visited the Publo on many occasions and it never seems to change it is still as tranquil as ever.. If you like peace and tranquility this is the place for you.The little white houses with bright flowerpots ,quiet narrow streets is wonderful.The view from the top of the Publo are spectacular,looking down over the coast. There are a few little bars and restaurants so no need to go hungry or thirsty. Can't wait to go back.
