]]>Alcazaba
This Moorish-style medieval fortress has been around since the 10th century and it’s one of Málaga’s top landmarks. It offers amazing views because it overlooks the sea from its hilltop location and its lush courtyard gardens filled with opulent fountains will make you appreciate it even more.
Gibralfaro
A walled corridor connects Alcazaba to Gibralfaro, another medieval attraction in the heart of Málaga. This 14th-century castle offers some of the best panoramic views in the entire city, and you can find a tiny museum exploring its history on its grounds.
Roman Theatre
One of the oldest monuments in the entire city, Roman Theatre is located at the foot of Alcazaba fortress, in the very heart of Málaga’s historical center. It’s the only remaining Roman ruin in all of Andalusia and it’s very well preserved considering it’s been around for centuries of warfare.

]]>But although it’s safer to climb these days, it’s not hard to see why it was once dangerous. The 8-kilometer trek spends a fair amount of time curling around a vertical mountain face, with nothing but a slim pathway holding you up.
(@sinturbulencias)These days, the pathway is supported by state-of-the-art reinforcements. Back in the day, however, there wasn’t much holding up this rickety wooden walkway, which is how it earned its “most dangerous” nickname.
When it was initially built in the 20th century, King Alfonso XIII himself walked on this pathway. Since “Caminito Del Rey” means “King’s Path” in English, you can see how the hike received its name.
Most importantly, however, is that this hike is full of breathtaking views and gorgeous scenery. If you’re someone who enjoys a good selfie, this place has Instagram-worthy written all over it!
