@anaisabellesite Hoy en el Alcazaba en Málaga me encontré por 2da vez con el maravilloso Sr. Paco. La primera vez que vine me senté a escucharlo… hoy, me dió el lujo de cantar con él. Si vez a un artista compartiendo su música en la calle, apóyalo. ❤️🎶 #malaga

The Alcazaba of Málaga is a beautiful and historic fortress that offers stunning views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. I highly recommend visiting the Alcazaba, especially on Sundays when it is free to enter from 2pm. The views from the Alcazaba are simply breathtaking. You can see the entire city of Málaga spread out below you, as well as the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding mountains. The fortress itself is also very impressive, with its well-preserved walls and towers. I would recommend taking the long walk up to the Alcazaba, as it is well worth it. The walk itself is quite enjoyable, as you pass through narrow streets and alleyways lined with shops and restaurants. Once you reach the top, you will be rewarded with stunning views of the city and the sea. The Alcazaba is a must-see for anyone visiting Málaga. It is a beautiful and historic place with amazing views. I highly recommend visiting on Sundays when it is free to enter from 2pm. Here are some additional tips for visiting the Alcazaba: * Wear comfortable shoes, as the walk up to the fortress can be quite steep. * Bring water, especially if you are visiting on a hot day. * Be sure to visit the towers for the best views. * Take your time and enjoy the walk through the fortress. * If you are visiting on a Sunday, be sure to arrive early to avoid the crowds.

From the moment you step in, it's like being whisked back in time. The Alcazaba isn't just some old ruins; it's a stunning piece of history perched right on a hilltop with jaw-dropping views of the city. You can literally see Malaga's evolution from ancient times to now! Walking through those arches and gardens, I felt like I was in some epic historical movie. The Islamic architecture is a feast for the eyes - intricate tile work, lush courtyards, and those fountains, guys! Pure tranquility. And the history! Built by the Moors in the 11th century, this place has stories. It's not just about the stunning visuals; you can feel the centuries of history seeping through the walls. Oh, and don't even get me started on the views from the top. Picture-perfect doesn't even cut it. You get the Mediterranean, the cityscape, and the mountains all in one panoramic shot. Insta-worthy? Heck yes! So, if you're in Malaga and wondering if the Alcazaba is worth the visit - it totally is. History buffs, photography enthusiasts, or just anyone who appreciates beauty, this place is a treasure. Just wear comfy shoes; those cobblestone paths are no joke! To sum it up, Alcazaba is not just a historical site; it's a journey through time with some of the best views in Malaga.
