"La Puerta de Málaga" is the name of a historic defensive gate in the white village of Comares, Andalusia, Spain, which formed the main access to the fortress and served as a place of surrender to Christian troops.

Pasa Route – Comares This route lets you discover the traditional process of making the famous "pasas de Málaga" (Málaga raisins) amidst the terraces and vineyards surrounding Comares. Stroll through olive and almond groves, learn about grape drying methods, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Axarquía region. A perfect combination of nature, culture, and gastronomy.

Bastion of Comares – The Old Castle and Fortifications High above the Axarquía lies Comares, surrounded by steep cliffs that served as natural defenses for centuries. During the Muslim period, the village grew into an impressive fortress with walls and towers. The famous Castillo de Comares offered protection and a strategic overview of the region. Today, only a few remains are visible, such as the imposing wall of La Tahona, which once surrounded the original castle. Walking along this bastion, you can still sense the atmosphere of a rich past in which Comares played a key role in the defense of Andalusia.

Upon arrival in Comares, you'll be greeted by an impressive Mudejar-style gateway. This double tower with a large arch marks the entrance to the village and is adorned with the Comares coat of arms, the Spanish flag, and the flag of Andalusia. 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."

Translation: “There are souls you want to look at, as if you were looking out of a window full of sunlight.”
