Things Not to Miss in Malaga, Malaga, Spain

If you have to pick one thing on this list to see in Malaga, it should be the聽Alcazaba fortress. The vast hilltop structure is a former Moorish palatial fort that overlooks the sea and features intricate gardens and fountains. In addition to being an impressive example of Moorish architecture, it has some of the best views of Malaga鈥檚 port and city center. The inner part of the citadel was the former palace that once housed the city鈥檚 former Muslim leaders. If the name rings vaguely familiar, it鈥檚 because it comes from the Arabic term al-kasbah.
