Very steep walk up and big queues to get in once up there so didn’t go in so can’t give a genuine review. Great views of bull ring and Malaga.Full review by Debbie G

Get ready for a very steep, uphill climb to the castle. Enjoyable views of the sea, port, city and plaza de toros. Very breezy with amazing views of Malaga below.Full review by DUrsoF73

This castle sits on a high hill 132 m above sea level and dates back to the 10th century. Walk and enjoy incredible views. Don’t skip small military museum inside.Full review by Kristina P

Questions & answers

Hi, Could anyone tell me whether the place is opened on 6th January 2020? Thanks!

Yes, it should be open despite the 6th being a monday but I think it may close quite early (6pm?) due to the time of year. Cost to get in is about 3.5 Euros.

Where is the best place to park for bus to Castillo

Sorry. I can't help you with that. We stayed at a rental property nearby and walked.

Is it possible to get a taxi to the top of the Castillo and walk down to the alcazaba? Would this be a difficult walk? Thanks

Yes taxi or hop on/off tour bus stops there. Walk down is steep but gentle, go at own pace. Best way to do it in my opinion.
