Nerja
The famous Balcón de Europa, which was built where once stood the fortress that was destroyed in 1812 during the War of Independence, sits at the end of a broad palm-lined avenue that ends in a circular plaza that provides a panoramic view of the entire Nerja coast and, in front, an immense seascape that holds viewers spellbound.
For years it has been held that it was King Alfonso XII, during his visit to the region after the earthquake that...
Ronda
The Arabic Bathhouses, located in the ancient Jewish quarter, were built in the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century. Despite their extraordinary architectural interest they were abandoned-Christian morality did not permit certain practices-and the floodwaters from the River Guadalevín eventually buried them. When the Duchess of Parcent ordered the construction of some gardens in this area the first remains of the bathhouses came to light...
Fuengirola
Bioparc Fuengirola champions a new model of zoo based on respect for nature and the preservation of natural species, a model which has already established itself as a flagship for Europe.
What Bioparc Fuengirola represents is a different concept of zoo. A zoological park where animals live side-by-side, recreating their natural habitat and so fostering their development at all levels. Visitors are stepping inside a true documentary of the...

Marbella
A visitor who arrives without prior knowledge will surely be surprised by the Old Quarter of Marbella, as it is not common for a city that is linked by choice to the modern world and large scale tourism to have managed to preserve the imprint of the past in an equal or greater degree than those localities whose fame is based on the historic and artistic legacies that they have inherited. The street plan of this part of the city preserves the...
Málaga
The best observation tower in Málaga is without any question the Gibralfaro Castle. A tour of its crenulated walls and its towers will afford a view of practically the whole city, with the exception only of some of the eastern neighbourhoods that are hidden behind the mountains. Every indication is that this fortress, which was built in the fourteenth century, was erected to defend the Alcazaba. It is linked to it by a zigzag barbican, thus...
Manilva
It was built on a place that the aforementioned Roman villa must have occupied. The position commands a broad view of the coast, which is why it was built on this site in 1767 to defend the area from the continual pirate incursions. A resident of Seville, Francisco Paulino, financed the construction and the King compensated him by placing him in command of a cavalry company. The engineer Miguel del Castillo was in charge of the design and...
Fuengirola
The Castillo Sohail (Sohail Castle), which was destroyed and rebuilt several times, is without a doubt the epitome of Fuengirola monuments, both for its long and turbulent history and its unmistakable silhouette that has become the symbol of the city. The fortress is surrounded by powerful square towers and every part of it has been meticulously restored to prevent deterioration and to render it useful as a cultural and tourist resource since,...
Málaga
The majestic Cathedral was erected during the first half of the sixteenth century although work on it continued until the eighteenth century and, even at that, the walls remained unfinished. That is why, since it is lacking one of its towers, it is popularly known as “La Manquita” (the One-Armed One). This temple was built over the former congregational mosque and combines several architectural styles, but Renaissance and Baroque features...
