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.

Paseo Maritimo

A pleasant boardwalk lined with shops, video game arcades, restaurants and cafes.

Reviewed By sunnycornermarbella - Marbella, Spain

Wonderful and popular promenade along the sea for walking, biking, running. This is a main feature of Marbella center and if you stay in center city you will really enjoy it. Lots of restaurants line the promenade and you can ride bikes all the way to Puerto Banus and even Estepona. They build on to it every year, one day it will stretch from Estepona to Nerja! If you want to enjoy the Paseo a great place to stay is Sunny Corner Marbella center look it up on your search engine!

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.

6. Alcazaba

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.

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.

La Carihuela

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.

Cueva de Nerja

With a volume of more than 100,000 m3 and a surface covering 9,371 m2, the Tourist galleries represent approximately one-third of the cave. The cave has been used as a habitat, a burial site and for cultural expression. There are remnants testifying to the passage of hunters, gatherers and fishermen from more than 30,000 years ago. The General Visit starts with the screening of a audiovisual presentation in which you will be able to see spectacular details of the cave (10 minutes). Then an audio-guided visit through the different chambers of the Cave, in a pleasant walk of about 45 minutes where you will discover the many secrets the grotto keeps (audio-guided in Spanish, English, German, French, Italian and Russian). When the cave closes its doors, a small group of privileged people can enter the mystery of the underworld to enjoy the magnificence and beauty of the cave, and discover its secrets. You can choose between three modalities of Exclusive Tours

Reviewed By Corroncho19 - Coral Gables, United States

We went to Nerja for a day trip from Malaga and we had a great time visiting the cave, it is amazing, we followed the tour guide and he explain everything about it also with an audio guide, very recommended visit . After the cave we went to Nerja town and visit the Museum which is very modern and interesting. Nerja is a very quiet town and everyone is friendly.

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.
