Hiking
The gate itself is modern, yet it evokes Comares' Moorish past, once a strategic fortress in the Axarquía. Behind the gate, narrow streets lead uphill to the old village center, where Moorish history is still palpable.
It's a perfect place to pause, take a photo, and begin your journey through this "Balcón de la Axarquía."
