Torre del Mar Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The original lighthouse was built in 1864, but due to coastal erosion and other problems, it was rebuilt and relocated several times. The current lighthouse was finally built in its current position in 1976 after several moves.

Alcazaba of Vélez-Málaga

Highlight • Castle

The ascent to the Alcazaba is especially worthwhile because of the great view of the city. Apart from the tower and remains of the outer walls, there is not much to marvel at in the ruins of the Fortaleza.
