Hiking

The ascent to the Alcazaba is especially worthwhile because of the great view of the city. Apart from the tower and remains of the outer walls, there is not much to marvel at in the ruins of the Fortaleza.

At the highest point of the city of Vélez-Málaga is Alcazaba de Vélez - Málaga. It is a fortress of Arab origin, built in the 9th century. From this point we can enjoy the most emblematic view of the city.
