Experts' Choice Award Castillo de Gibralfaro
What the experts agree on
This 14th-century Moorish fortress crowns a hilltop with spectacular views of Málaga and the Mediterranean. The dramatic ramparts offer a tangible slice of Islamic heritage, especially striking when floodlit at night.
“Surrounded by magnificent vistas and floodlit at night, these fortifications were built for Yusuf I in the 14th century.”
– Fodor's
