I am a regular at this establishment and I've never posed a complaint until today. The shopping center overall is great but the women's bathrooms are always dirty. This afternoon I began my menstrual cycle and none of the stalls had toilet paper. I asked if the cleaning lady could put some and she said she's coming. I WAITED 20 MINUTES before leaving and when I left I saw her chatting. It was the old blonde one with glasses... Again, I like shopping here but these things give a bad image and make the experience a hassle.

Not really. Some cheap brands without any highlights. Okay for a stroll but really not impressed by this shopping center. A pity that the brands that had any fashion aspirations are all out of this center. Well, Banus visitors aren’t trendy anyway. What a boring place to hang out.

Safe parking place in Puerto Bañus.

Luxury brand (clothes) shops with a few others. Beautiful but relatively small and limited in choice thus. To visit if you pass by for some shopping eventually.

Car park is spacious and clean. The hourly rate is a bit on high side

Fantastic place to visit, visit Astral bar for an unforgettable cocktail and just soak up the atmosphere of the place

Good location. Good parking. Easy access. A small mall clean with a decent selection of shops. Good ac with 30° plus outside.

This is a hidden gem. We have been in Fuengirola for several months and have not prioritized checking this out. Having seen a number of the best rated zoos in the world, we did not expect much. Of course, as a bioparc, they are not trying to compete with the big zoos. The park is nicely laid out and is much larger than we had expected with a good range of animals. Like most zoos/bioparcs this was laid out in geographic regions. We are older/retired and went as a couple. It was easy to stroll through the park which was busy but not crowded. It was clear that the kids we saw were having a good time. Part of this is the habitats are not huge so it is easy to see the animals and there are some areas where you are ‘in’ the cage allowing very close viewing of the animals. The real gem for us was the very educative exhibit on the mapping of the world and Spain’s role in doing so. All-in-all the park was a treat. At the end of the visit, we were able to upgrade to an annual pass with our entry fee credited to the purchase.

Lovely zoo... had my dad in a wheelchair and its very accessible. Found it can be a bit confusing which way to go but absolutely beautiful parc.. Tigers were snoozing so didnt see them. The mini aquarium is beautiful and air conditioned which was ideal as it was roasting outside. Cafe food not great quality at all.. but facilities clean and tidy

The zoo is excellent! I recommend visiting. Interesting documentation with historical decorations, the animals' enclosures are clean and comfortable. I also liked the playground and the cafe after the end of the tour of the zoo. There are benches in the shade where you can rest. Both the child (8 years old) and the adult (33 years old) were very interested. Yes, the tickets may be a bit expensive, but every euro is worth it.

Amazing day out. We went as a family of 4 and we all saw animals that we’d never seen. Very well set up and designed and the animals look well taken care of. Very friendly and helpful staff. We spent about 3 1/2 hours in there including a stop in the cafe for a drinks which were reasonably priced. It is well shaded and the aquarium is quite cool to get out of the heat. Also a note if you park in the large underground parking lot 2 streets over you can ask for a parking coupon that gives you 50% off parking.

We had an amazing day at Bioparc Fuengirola with our children. It’s an experience we will never forget! - Highlights: • The setting is beautiful and immersive, with lush vegetation that makes you feel like you’re walking through a real jungle. • The animals are very close to visitors, with no visible cages, which allows for a unique and respectful observation. • The park is clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate, even with young children. • The educational activities and keeper presentations are well-designed and engaging for kids. • We especially loved the free-roaming lemurs, the majestic gorillas, and the impressive giant baobab. • The African group’s night show was fantastic – lively, festive, and a great surprise for the whole family! • We also had the chance to enjoy the night tour, which was a magical experience and gave us a different perspective on the animals. • Thanks to our special ticket, we were allowed to exit and return after 7:30 PM to enjoy the evening shows — a real bonus! - Point to consider: • The entrance fee may seem a bit high, but the quality of the experience makes it well worth it. In short, it’s a perfect family activity — fun, educational, and respectful of wildlife. My kids are still talking about it! The African performance and night visit made it even more special. I highly recommend this park to anyone visiting the Costa del Sol.

One of the best places I've ever been. It felt like walking through the jungle. The animals habitats were so well designed. Each area of the parc was clean and well thought out. Fantastic place for both adults and kids. There was so much to see and go around. Not too crowded which was lovely. Truly magical.

Really good setup. Loads to see and the facility itself was in great condition. Most importantly, the animals all looked healthy and well cared for. We stayed for around 5 hours so while it's not the cheapest, value for money is great.

It's a surprise addition to see this horse farm 🐎 🐎 🐴 . A very friendly local tourist guide demonstrates how to handle young horses, which I'd even attend to walk too closer, but she let everyone feel relaxed and like to touch young horses. Love to see that new born baby horse, just 3 days old. Sooooo cute.

If you have the opportunity to take this tour and experience this place - do it! We visited on a Sunday afternoon and were greeted immediately upon arrival by Desiree. She was equal parts knowledgable, lovely, and funny. Our two daughters, ages 5 and 6, took to her right away and spent the rest of our time holding her hand or asking for her attention. We were offered the use of a clean, beautiful restroom before loading into the van for a driving tour of the incredibly vast and well-maintained property. We were able to see all the bulls of various ages, cows, and horses. Following the van tour, we were led on foot into an indoor arena where Desiree showed us the matador's capes and allowed us all to try our hand at working them! The kids pretended to be the bull causing us all to have a great laugh! Then we toured the rest of the stunning facilities, learned a great deal about the attentive care they provide for their animals, and went over to the bull ring on property. We even got to meet Rafael Tejada, the renowned bullfighter who owns, runs, and lives at the farm. He was exceedingly kind and engaging!

Very nice place. One downside, I had booked in advance a English tour and a day before they sent me an email saying there isn't an option for it in English. They did provide me a audio guide however it would have been nice to have the one I specifically ordered.

The highlight on this farm visit was meeting the legendary Rafael Tejada himself. His story was an inspiration for many and now mine. I didn't know much about bull fighting until this tour where I learned a different side of this tradition and it is not just about winning over the fight and killing the bull. We asked Rafael himself about the sport and the killing of the bull. His expressed the killing part is the least he look forward to but preserving the tradition and promoting the understanding of this unique culture compels him to start this farm. I was a different and more appreciate perspectives to bull fighting and the matadors. The visit was full of oos and ahs over the cute calves and foals but definitely worth a visit if you want to know more about bull fighting, gain a better understanding of what goes behind it, and find a new view on it.

This 90min tour through the bull plots was simply perfect and we recommend it to everyone! Our tour guide didn’t just show us around, but was passionate about the project, answered every question and even spoke several languages! After visiting the bull ring, where the bulls with the desired genes are being selected, and the horse stalls, we got a tour visiting the bulls and cows at different ages. While stopping several times, the guide explained the purpose of the breeding farm, its history and generally bull fighting. Even though the matter can be discussed, it is very interesting to hear about it and understand the local tradition. Thank you so much for the tour!

What a terrific insight into Spanish culture, Spanish horses and raising Spanish fighting bulls. Our tour guide Desiree was terrific. She was funny and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!

Great experience, fun and educative. We liked the Toro training 😃. Thx to Desiree

A very nice place to visit, very beautiful views, tons of restaurants, docks with boats and even found a classic boat there! The architecture is beautiful there. We went to see SeaWorld but the surroundings are beautiful as well! We had tons of fun, had some food, walked around and fooled around as well. I do recommend visiting it when you are in the area, it's very beautiful and can be very romantic as well if you want too.

We love it here. Lovely shops and plenty of places to eat, drink or grab and ice cream. Also plenty of boat trips on offer (we tried two!). We also loved the Sea Life aquarium here.

A must to visit even if it's just for a walk. A lively, busy marina very morish in more ways than one! We visited in the evening and it was buzzing, so many restaurants to choose from. If you want to do a little shopping there are many to choose from. Daytime visit was just as good, we stopped for a coffee

Great tourist spot, plenty of choice in restraunts and shops. Comes alive at night and open until late. Nice setting with the boats and water, some great views if you book the right table

If you are nearby, this place is a must see. Sometimes it gets crowded. Lots of nice restaurants and shops in the area. My recommendation.

This is such a vibrant and stunning place. The 3 island complexes are gorgeous and just shows how the other half live.

Great place to visit. Plenty shops and bars , and lucky lucky men 🤣 420 friendly bar close by too.

The Port of Málaga is a modern, pleasant waterfront area, ideal for a relaxing stroll. Between luxury yachts, cruise ships, and the lively Muelle Uno promenade, it offers a perfect mix of leisure, shopping, and dining. Clean, well-maintained, and vibrant, it’s a must-visit spot to enjoy the sunset or simply unwind by the sea.

Love shopping in Malaga then visiting the port & seeing all the yatchs

The Port is nice. There are many nice yatchs and cruise ships arrive on Thursdays. There is a nice walkway boardering the harbor that has restaurants and shops. Great for walking and taking in the sights.

We were so tired when we got here after touring 2 museums. The excitement of this area perked us right up! Beautiful scenery, sailboats, yachts, artist market, dining and shopping. A really fun spot to visit.

Lovely area, plenty to see and do

Fairly close to town. There are many transportation options when you get off a cruise ship. We rented electric scooters and used them for the ride into town. There are also local tour companies and taxi drivers. If you want to go in style, rent a horse and buggy. The lighthouse at the entrance to the port is historic

A great area to explore ways something nautical to observe & much more besides. Bars shop & restaurants line one side of the port. The side nearest the city has nice gardens to stroll through & there is a childrens' play area. Boat trips can be booked as well. This is a good area to walk around away from the bustle of the city.

This is such a beautiful catherdral. Unfortunately there was a service happening so visiting the interior was not possible. But the exterior is wonderful. It is called the one-armed lady as only one spire was built and the money ran out for the construction of the second. Another interesting fact is that it was a mosque and rather than demolishing this to build the Catholic Church it was incorporated. The ex try error carvings are lovely and the surrounding area very picturesque. It is well worth the visit to the old town and the cathedral

A monumental building with some lovely side chapels will take some time to look around. The entry cost is €9 with lots to see. Do not miss the Incarnation Chapel behind the main alter, it is lovely. The choir has some stunning wood carvings. Give yourself lots of time as there is so much to see. The Catholic Monarchs ordered the construction of the building. It is popularly known as La Manquita. The cathedral of the Encarnación is one of the town's most important monuments. The south tower and the main façade are unfinished. It is situated in the historic centre of the town. The building sits where a mosque-Moorish quarter once existed. Work began in the first half of the 16th century, in the Gothic style, ordered by the Catholic Monarchs, and continued in the 17th and 18th centuries. It has its own gardens and a magnificent courtyard. The interior of the cathedral has Renaissance and Baroque influences. Most noteworthy are the choir stalls (17th century) in the central nave and, especially, the sculptural works of Pedro de Mena. The chapels are also very interesting, such as that of the Encarnación, which gives the cathedral its name.

Absolutely beautiful Cathedral with lots of history. If you will notice one of the bell towers on the cathedral has not been completed. There is a good reason for this. The money that was to be used to finish the Cathedral bell tower was instead sent to George Washington during the Revolutionary War in the US by Spanish Governor Bernardo de Gálvez. Bernardo de Gálvez was the governor of the Spanish territory of Luisiana which is how it was spelled then. This was because Spain wanted to see Britain defeated in the US Territory as they were arch rivals fighting for influence in the Americas.

Absolutely stunning cathedral in the heart of Málaga! The mix of Gothic and Renaissance styles is beautiful, and the inside is full of light and detail. Even if you’re not into churches, it’s worth visiting just for the architecture and atmosphere. Don’t miss it! Allow at least an hour for your visit, and check opening times in advance, as access to the rooftop and main nave may differ depending on services or events.

Gorgeous cathedral, they call her the "one armed lady" because the right bell tower was never completed. The architecture was beautiful, so much marble and carved mahogany. I have so many photos, it was just overwhelming!

Nice cathedral with an interesting history. Built on top a mosque, unfinished because of the lack of money, then left unfinished by purose... It is a special building that needs to be visited...

Beautiful and ornate inside and out, though work being done on it at the moment. Large crane over shadowing the exterior. €10 per adult There were guided tours or you could purchase a handheld voice guide in your language.... at extra cost. We chose to go round on our own. Lovely artworks, paintings, beautiful wooden central cathedral organ. Lots of places just to sit and admire. Not too busy when we went 12/8/25. Souvenir shop on the way out and it also has toilets.

I visited the museum at 5pm and waited in a queue - I would advise purchasing tickets online however it is possible to purchase tickets after entering the museum. Backpacks cannot be taken in so it’s a good idea to travel with a smaller bag - there is a storage room operated by staff which was very simple and quick to use. There is also an audio guide so it is helpful to bring earphones. There are two Picasso collections with an additional medium/techniques room as well as two temporary exhibitions. There is also an archaeology floor which was incredibly interesting! I was there for approximately an hour and a half - I really enjoyed it and had a great time.

Museo Picasso Málaga – A Cultural Gem in the Heart of the City The Museo Picasso Málaga, Address: Calle San Agustín, 8, 29015 Málaga, Spain, is a must-visit if you’re in the city. Housed in the beautiful 16th-century Palacio de Buenavista, it has a well-curated collection of Picasso’s paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and drawings that really show the evolution of his work. The museum is easy to navigate, the displays are clear, and the atmosphere is calm and enjoyable. The temporary exhibitions are always interesting, and the audio guide is excellent for getting deeper insights. Located right in the historic centre, it’s easy to combine with a stroll through Málaga’s old town. A perfect stop for art lovers or anyone curious about Picasso.

Queue to enter because had booked to enter at opening time. Best to book in advance because otherwise you are advised to book online in a queue and then join the queue for those with tickets. It is possible to pay on entry as a last resort. No leaflets in English available when I visited. Cloakroom available, plenty of seating so you can rest between viewing, plenty of toilets too. Museum signage for direction wasn’t the most clear. Audio guide is good although it’s through QR code on phone so would recommend taking phone and headphones. Good collection of Picasso’s work :) Very informative about the mediums and techniques explored over the years

Lovely museum of Picasso’s life work. Purchase tickets on line before hand and arrive at your allotted time. Be prepared to line up even with prepaid tickets because they allow only certain number of people in. 5 people come out, 5 people allowed in. There are several security check points, ticket check and no liquids or food allowed. I’d you have food items you must check them at a cost check area. Be prepared to spend 2-3 hours absorbing the life and life’s work of Picasso. There are benches and places to sit to rest if necessary.

The Picasso Museum in Málaga was totally worth the visit. I really enjoyed learning about Picasso’s entire life, from his childhood and marriages to the inspirations behind his art. It was fascinating to see how his style evolved through different periods of his career. Buying tickets online is definitely the best option to avoid the long lines. The museum is quite popular, so even with tickets, you should expect a bit of a wait.

A must do when you’re in Malaga but you must book tickets in advance especially at the weekend, saw so many people turned away and disappointed as very popular. Great collection and amazing setting to discover the artist and his various work. Highly recommend and give yourself a few hours to visit

It was okay, but nothing special to appreciate to pay this price of ticket. Honestly shocked to wait outside for over 30 minutes though I got earlier with ticket. Thus, this museum is too small and compact to maximize the experience of quality visiting.

The Alcazaba in Málaga is an absolute highlight of the city! This Moorish fortress is an impressive testament to history and offers breathtaking views of the city and the sea. The complex is well-preserved and offers a fascinating mix of walls, towers, and gardens. The architecture is unique and the atmosphere is very peaceful. You can easily imagine the history of the Moors and Spaniards. The views of the city and harbor are simply breathtaking. I recommend visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the sun isn't too strong. The Alcazaba is a must-see for anyone visiting Málaga!

The Alcazaba is a a beautiful place to explore, there is a lot of architectural history and beautiful gardens. It does require you to walk uphill at times, there are narrow stairs and some tight spaces but it can easily be navigated even at peak times. We went on a Sunday when admission was free, however we booked on the website to have an English speaking tour which was led by Salvador. He provided a lot of interesting context and historical information - he was also very knowledgeable about the structures and materials used in the fort. We viewed all parts of the Alcazaba and there was time to browse by ourselves later. The views are magnificent and we really enjoyed the experience.

Loved this piece of history. Walking around and feeling people lived here so many years ago. So much has been preserved and very grateful for this. Also an amazing view over the Bullring, the harbour and coastline. These semi ruins are precious and worth a visit. A must seen in Malaga.

Fantastic Alcazaba This is a great moorish castle that is easy to visit as it sits more or less in the Malaga town centre. The views are fantastic and so is the architecture of the building. We really enjoyed wandering around here, plus it is surrounded by gardens, so in summer when it get really hot it is a nice place to cool off a bit.

€10 to enter this fortress also includes entrance to the castle further on after you exit (note both are free to enter after 14:00pm every Sunday The walk to the top is really interesting with lots of different areas to climb up steps and explore the pathways can be steep and uneven surfaces but well worth the effort to be presented with amazing views of Malaga ! There’s a small Bar/cafe inside set within an area in the shade and also toilets, recommend to don’t join the long queue for the toilets at the bar and keep moving as you’ll find toilets with little to no queue further on into the grounds As we visited off peak on a Sunday We queued for around 10 mins to enter but once we came out at 13:40ish the queue was already all the way back out and down to the street for the free entrance on a Sunday

Great fortress and palace to visit but go in the afternoon when the cruise ship tourist are gone as it is very crowded in the mornings. The entry cost is only €1.50 but free in the afternoon. You will need at least three hours to soak it all up as some of the Nasrid architecture and gardens are beautiful and more so if you can just ponder. The Alcazaba, whose name al-Qasba means urban fortress, is located on the slope of Mount Gibralfaro, in the small bay where the city of Malaga is located. Its strategic position has led to it having been inhabited by ancient civilizations such as the Phoenicians, who settled on the mountain around 600 BC. The Romans settled in its surroundings, on the southern slope, where remains of a Roman villa and also industrial facilities for salting fish were found, and on the western slope of Mount Gibralfaro, where they built a theater in the 1st century. During the Islamic period, the Alcazaba was initially built as a fortification and later became a palace-fortress, the seat of the city government.

Stunning site, with various levels and viewpoints. The free audio guide that you download to your phone was great, just remember to take your earbuds or headphones. Lots of stunning photos and there's also a bar halfway up. Entrance ticket was €7.00

An unforgettable experience! 😍 The trail is absolutely breathtaking — suspended walkways, cliffs, turquoise water, and stunning views everywhere you look. We went on an organized tour from Málaga, and I’d definitely recommend doing it with a guide — you learn so many interesting details about the history and nature of the place. It was a really windy day, so bring a proper jacket and comfy shoes. Everything was very well organized and felt perfectly safe. A must-do when in Andalusia! 🌄

This was an amazing hike that is quite accessible.....for anyone that isn't afraid of heights. I cannot even imagine what hiking on the old trail without handrails would have been like. Helmets are mandatory but it is so worth it. The full trail is about 5 km and there isn't much in the way of elevation change for the most part. Once at the end, which is the South Access,, you're taken back to the various car park places via coach bus. The busses come every 30 minutes so perhaps plan to hang out in the small town and grab a drink, maybe do some souvenir shopping. It is necessary to purchase tickets ahead of time and group guided or self-directed tickets are available. We had guided tickets but we were able to opt out and go at our own pace. They do a good job of controlling the number of people on the trail so things never felt crowded. Overall, the full trip took a few hours. Worth the time.

Absolutely stunning experience and history in this park. The tour guide option is a must to learn about the history of the location. Safety is paramount and you must wear the helmet at all times and follow the path but you won't be disappointed. Ar the end are toilets and food/drink vendors in the picnic area but be aware there is nothing in the trail itself so be prepared.

An easy walk that takes about an hour and a half. The surroundings are very beautiful, the path is renovated, and there’s a great bridge at the end. Restrooms are only at the entrance and at the end. There’s also a café and a souvenir shop at the end. About 400 m from the exit there is a train station or a bus stop, and the bus takes you back to the parking lot - short ride 10-15 mins. (€2.5 for a round trip)

“Spectacular hike — worth the planning ahead!” Caminito del Rey is an amazing adventure and absolutely worth the effort. The views are stunning, and walking along the narrow paths and wooden stairways high above the gorge is unforgettable. You do need to be reasonably fit and comfortable with heights, as some sections can feel a bit sketchy. Be sure to book your tickets well in advance — they often sell out weeks ahead. If you wait until the last few days, your only option may be to join an organized tour at a much higher price. It’s a bit of a hassle, but once you’re on the trail, you’ll forget all about it. Highly recommended!

A beautiful and relativly easy hike. Not scary at all. Very important - BUY PARKING TICKETS and use the shuttle bus - its so easy, we watched with pain people trying to find parking alone on the north entrace or the train station - not worth the pain, pay for the parking in visitor center and take the bus from there to begining of trail.

We bought tickets in advance, which we recommend. Getting to the parking lot (which we also booked in advance, along with the shuttle) was easy. It's another 1.5 km from the shuttle to the entrance, and almost the same distance from the exit back to the shuttle. So the whole visit didn't take the planned 3 hours and a bit, but over 4 hours, partly due to waiting for the shuttle, etc. But the views are amazing.

Finally went this year as closer to where we stayed. So good to see them up close. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Spanish and English spoken. Booked our reservation online for the 1pm slot. Guide feeds at each enclosure so they do come to the fence. Even if it takes a few minutes.

Waauw, what a great experience. We took the English tour and had a great guide. She knew so much about the wolf's, their history and what is best for them. I love how they rescue and take care of them. I will certainly come back with my other daughter. Please keep up the good work.

We absolutely recommend visiting this place. Our tour guide was super nice and explained interesting information about various kinds of wolves. Tour could be conducted in English or Spanish. Tour costed 15eur per person and it took around 1,5 - 2hod. Wolves were really interesting and looked to be happy in this place. When visiting wolves our tour guide offered to wolves some snacks and we could see almost all wolves come to us and we were able to took photos and videos.

This is such a beautiful park with wonderful, caring staff! We learned so much on our visit and you can tell that the staff is really trying to educate people to help conserve wolves. They’re super knowledgeable and their English is excellent.

An amazing experience! I booked the photographer tour and it was such a treat to be shown around the park and have truly memorable experiences with the wolves. Our guide made the experience even more special and was very knowledgable. And I got some of the best wildlife photographs I've ever captured. I will return for sure!

An interesting and very knowledgeable guided tour of the wolves by our guide Minerva. Set in a stunning piece of countryside it's a great place to visit if you are fascinated by these beautiful animals

We visited this park on 2 October 2025 and we loved it. Nicole, who took us around, was very knowledgeable and informative and made the visit really interesting. She knows her stuff! It was great to see the wolves in their spacious enclosures and learn about their lives. Anyone interested in wolves and wildlife in general will love this place. Highly recommend.

Beautiful nature, way up was fine. There are also quite some parking spots all the way up. We have been there on a Friday in September around 17h30, and where done after a good hour (green track). Recommending for everybody who is curious and likes views 😍

Beautiful Hiking Area! We have been doing this Tour at the beginning of the year in January. The Weather was perfectly fine. You should bring good shoes as some parts might be a bit slippery. But overall the paths are quite good to walk at. We did bring our Dogs but they must be on the leash all time as you might spot Capricorns just around you in between the rocks. The Landscape is just breathtaking and beautiful. Definitely a Must-See place here in Andalusia!

Absolutely fantastic area. Other worldly and incredibly scenic. You can drive right out to the visitor center where there is ample parking. The road there is surprisingly well serviced and wide enough for vehicles to pass each other. Lots of different routes to take when hiking different environments and difficulty levels from wide flat pathways to clambering over ancient rock formations. My six-year-old son had an absolute blast, exploring and climbing.

Lovely prehistoric place, you can park on the Visitors Center open until 17:00 hrs, have a drink and a bite, use the toilet and begin your journey. There's 3 routes you can take, green, orange and yellow. Orange is a direct line go and come back and the other 2 are circular. We took the medium one and walked around 2.5 hrs taking many pauzes it was 32° when we were there at 18 hrs but luckily we had a wonderful wind to cool us off, we could enjoy the view, admiring the place where you can find fossils, wild goats and many birds. Amazing to see, a must to do when you visit Malaga. We will come back again and will take another route.

Very spectacular park. The yellow route is moderate and suitable for most people. We also did orange rout, that was a bit harder: the carved road was smaller and sometimes a bit harder to find. Advise: use "alltrails" as app to geolocate the route. The visitor cetre has a restaurant with enough choices. Come early: before 10AM so you can park at the main parking area. When full many people park down the road, but you will get fined. Police is checking on regular base.

Absolutely beautiful place. There is a couple hiking trails you can take and a few view points that are not too far away. There is free parking available, there is a small cafe with a picnic area inside and out as well as a small souvenir shop.

Great walk around one of the trails, there are 3 official trails… although there are other areas that could be seen and have no information… just visual trails where people have ventured off themselves! Well worth the visit!

We visited twice. In the first day the water was very calm and the beach had pebbles - 2 days later the beach was sandy and the water cold and “angry”. The entrance in the water is pretty deep. At every 2 steps the difference is more than 50cm depth. After 2 meters I wasn’t touching the bottom anymore. The color is wonderful, a very clean turquoise. If you want sun-beds you have to come early and you still might have low chances because people do reservations in advance. But there is room on the beach for towels and own umbrella if you are inspired enough to bring one.

The beach is set in a stunning natural landscape, with soft sand and a very welcoming atmosphere. There is free parking available right next to the beach, though it’s best to arrive early as spaces fill up quickly. On-site, you’ll find public restrooms and free water stations, which is a great convenience. There are also plenty of options nearby to grab a meal or enjoy a refreshing drink. For those looking for activities, you can rent a kayak or simply relax under a parasol with sunbeds. Overall, it’s a beautiful spot and definitely a place worth returning to.

Very nice beach, lots of people and umbrellas, but everyone can find a place. Lots of parking but very hard to find a free spot, but with pacience it can be done. The entrace in the sea water is kind of rough, water gets over your dead pretty fast from the shore. Lots of restaurants and shopping store near the beach.

Fine gravel beach, that has public toilets close by. Nice clean beach and clear sea, good for snorkeling. Promenade is lined with shops, Bars & Restaurants

We arrived here at the beach around 1 PM and none of the beach clubs had any places left as they were already full and we couldn’t rent any sunbeds or umbrellas, so instead of leaving this beach, we decided to buy beach chairs and a umbrella from a store nearby which costed us around hundred euros for two people, but this allowed us to pick a spot that we would prefer a bit further from people. The water is very cold I would say but the beach is well organized with showers and many bars or restaurants around it so you could really enjoy your beach day but maybe if you’re really into swimming not really the best place to be.

Lively and buzzing family beach. Great reasonably priced restaurants. Clean and free toilets. Definitely recommend the kayaking, which is great fun. Pedalos are great fun too…as long as a sudden squall does not appear. One of my favourite European family beaches.

Absolutely lovely beach. Nice shops and restaurants. Crushed stone like sand but beautiful crystal clear water when calm.

The caves are excellent, and unlike anything I’ve ever visited before. The audio tour is great and very informative. However the caves get very busy which really make moving around fairly difficult. The caves are also quite expensive and for a family of 6 cost over $100. Despite this the caves are a really unique and beautiful experience that I do recommend.

Amazing experience and a must do when in Nerja. We bought tickets just by Riu Monica hotel by the train stop. Train takes about 15 mins to get there. Had a drink at the cafe which has amazing views. Take headphones as can download tour guide when there.

The Cueva de Nerja is, without a doubt, a must-see natural wonder on the Costa del Sol. This spectacular cave system offers a truly awe-inspiring journey into the geological history of Andalusia. The sheer size and grandeur of the caverns are breathtaking. The cave boasts one of the world's most impressive geological features: a colossal, record-breaking stalagnate (a column formed by the fusion of a stalactite and stalagmite), which dominates the 'Cataclysm Gallery.' The rich formations, beautifully illuminated, showcase a mesmerizing array of stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone. Beyond its natural beauty, the Cueva de Nerja is an invaluable archaeological treasure, containing prehistoric paintings and evidence of human occupation dating back tens of thousands of years. This dual nature—as a geological masterpiece and a historical site—makes the visit profoundly enriching. The tourist route is well-maintained and clearly signposted, providing a comfortable and safe experience. Moreover, the pleasantly cool underground climate offers a welcome respite from the Spanish heat. ​In summary, Cueva de Nerja is a spectacular and fascinating natural monument that beautifully marries epic natural formation with deep human history. It is an unforgettable experience.

Such an amazing place! The Nerja Caves are huge and so beautiful. The lights make everything look magical. It’s very clean, easy to walk around, and really well organized. A wonderful experience, totally worth visiting if you’re on the Costa del Sol!

Great place to visit. Audio guide is excellent. Make sure you bring your Bluetooth headphones for the audio guide because it's based on your cell phone. I do recommend getting tickets early if possible especially in the peak season because it can sell out. It's really nice and cool inside the caves and it's nice and hot outside. Don't forget to validate your parking and pay for it before you leave.

Enormously huge cave. 48h before your visit they release a limited 60 tickets for free. Definitely worth the visit. Temperature inside is the same or even warmer (visited in October). You can even download a free audioguide in many languages.

The caves were much bigger than I had expected. You would expect it to be cooler in the caves but it is warm but more humid as you get to the deepest part. Very enjoyable visit along with the VR show! Check it out!

This is a great place to visit, if only for the fantastic views. It's kept nice, clean toilets, very informative. My only irk is the concession for retirees is only valid for EU visitors, it's cheap enough anyway but every little helps. Felt a bit anti-british to me. Lovely old town to walk through with plenty of miradors.

I loved the experience, you have a beautiful view of the city from there, access difficult for those with limited mobility, but the whole city is like that. I recommend the visit, it was a beautiful and unexpected experience.

Not to worry, you'll get there to the top, step by step. Hence the awesome history of the place, the view of Salobreña is fantastic. A magic trip to the past with bell's from nearby of Our Lady of Rosary church. The lights, the tranquility the views. Very much worth the climbing. Entrance fees are reasonable. Very much recommend.

Fantastic View, excavations, entrance 4euro, children Up to 12 yrs free, free entrance monday afternoon(17-19h). Avoid driving Up with Car If you dont Like very narrow roads ;-) i really mean it!!!

Nice castle to visit, price was 4€ and they accept only card payments. Nice views, they don't show anything inside a castle.

I saw this castle from the motorway and had to go and visit. Very nice views and castle. Most of the circular route was nicely flat with ramps and no stairs suitable for disabled/wheelchairs through the castle. Though the streets to get up there were steep, we did find a way down with no stairs! Worth walking around the free flowers walk observation deck at the bottom too(Paseo de las Flores)

Overlooking the town and surrounding countryside. Well preserved but unspectacular.

The Royal Chapel of Granada, is small but impressive! This is the final resting place of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand who helped shape and modernize Spain. Seeing their tombs up close was surreal. They're carved from perfect white marble and surrounded by beautifully detailed Gothic architecture. The crypt below felt a little haunting descending down the steps. You can see the simple coffins with initials marking the actual burial spots including the children. You can really feel the weight of history in that room. There’s also a small museum section with beautiful royal artifacts. Royal crowns, scepters, robes, and religious relics. I highly recommend getting the audio guide it’s included in the price and really helped me understand what I was seeing. Without it, you’d miss a lot of the symbolism and history behind the art and layout. No photography allowed inside. I spent about 30 minutes there. It’s not a huge space, but it leaves a big impression. Its great to pair the visit with the nearby Granada Cathedral, which is more architecturally grand. The Royal Chapel of Granada feels like being in a time capsule. Standing in front of the tombs of some of Spain’s most influential monarchs was deeply moving. If you’re in the city, don’t miss it!

Unbelievably beautiful palace. Loved all the chandeliers and clocks. Had a fabulous tour guide. Beautiful ceiling art. Highly recommend this site to tour. Go right when it opens to avoid huge crowds.

The Royal Chapel of Granada feels less like a monument and more like a quiet epilogue to history. Beneath its gilded calm lie the simple coffins of Ferdinand and Isabella — symbols of faith, conquest, and mortality. The soft light and somber art whisper of endings and beginnings, where Moorish Granada gave way to Catholic Spain. It humbles, not dazzles — a place where history exhales.

The Royal Chapel of Granada is absolutely stunning!!! The architecture is beyond beautiful, and the intricate details throughout the chapel make it truly special. The tickets include an audio tour which was so creative, interesting, and fun to listen to! It’s absolutely worth a visit if you’re visiting Granada!

It is an Isabelline style building in Granada, Spain. Constructed around 1505, it was originally integrated in the complex of the neighbouring Granada Cathedral. It is the burial place of the Spanish monarchs. Picturesque place. Must see place. Popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Great place for photography

Amazing experience .well worth the visit. The atmospheres amazing. Architecture outstanding. Craftsmanship amazing.

A small chapel with exquisite artifacts from time of Fernando and Isabelle. Seeing the lead coffee of kings and queens from 500 years ago feels absolutely surreal. Photo and video is not allowed unfortunately.

The Alhambra in Granada is absolutely breathtaking. Every corner of the palace and gardens shows incredible detail and craftsmanship, making you feel like you have stepped back in time. The combination of intricate architecture, beautiful courtyards, and lush gardens creates a magical atmosphere that is hard to forget. Walking through the halls and seeing the ornate designs on the walls and ceilings is mesmerizing, and every view of the city from the fortress is stunning. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit smooth and informative. It’s a place that captures both history and beauty perfectly. Five stars out of five – a must-visit for anyone traveling to Spain.

The Alhambra in Granada is an absolute must see!!!! It’s by far one of the most stunning and memorable places I’ve ever visited. I would highly recommend you spend the extra money and purchase a guided tour - that way, you can learn all the historical facts about the Alhambra. I only bought the admission tickets and regretted not getting the guided tour! The Nasrid Palaces are breathtaking, filled with intricate details, grand architecture, and so much history. The gardens and water fountains are so beautiful. I’ve never seen anything like it before! The Generalife Gardens are equally impressive, with perfectly manicured greenery, peaceful fountains and streams, and beautiful structures. This was my favorite part of the visit. Be prepared for lots of walking and stairs, as some areas may not be entirely accessible for those who have mobility difficulties. Plan to spend an entire morning or afternoon exploring, because there is so much to see - also lots of photo opportunities. The Alhambra truly lives up to the hype and is an unforgettable experience in Granada! Highly recommend the visit! Be sure to purchase tickets in advance so you don’t miss out on this amazing experience.

I was awed by the beauty as well as the history of Alhambra. In 711, the Moorish from north Africa conquered the sourthern Spain. Before the Christians recaptured the land, Granada was the center of culture and commerce. The Nasrid Dynasty built the Alhambra palace, which consists of the Generalife garden(my favorite) and Palacios Nazaries palace. Throughout the Alhambra, you will see Moorish's incredible architecture and design combined with intelligent irregation system that draws water from the revier down below to provide the water for Alhambra. It was refreshing and peacful to see water running throughout the garden, fountains, court yard, and ponds. And the views are also amazing. From the palace balcony, you can see the old town Albaicin nestle on the hillside and part of Granada city. The best time to visit Alhambra is late Spring, early Summer or late Fall. Reserve your tickets early or sign up with a tour guide will save a lot of hassles.

An absolutely breathtaking place — the Alhambra is a masterpiece of history, art, and architecture. Every corner is filled with incredible detail, from the intricate carvings and mosaics to the serene courtyards and gardens. The views of Granada and the Sierra Nevada mountains are stunning, especially at sunset. The visit is very well organized, and the audio guide helps bring the history to life. Truly one of the most beautiful and inspiring landmarks in Spain — an unforgettable experience and a must-see for anyone visiting Granada!

Unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Worth all the praise and more! The fortress gardens are a sight to behold. Book tickets in advance. They tend to get sold out pretty quickly and months in advance. Last minute tickets via third party sellers are easily 4x, 5x the price. So book in advance or you might miss out.

Absolutely stunning. Book your tickets in advance - it is so worth it and breathtaking when you go. Took us 4-5 hours from beginning to end and was one of the highlights of our trip! The intricacy and the details are just incredible. We didn't do a tour but maybe next time for all the history!!

Book way in advance my friends. Tix sell out super early and fast. Your ticketed time will be for the palace, which is about 5-10 min walk from the main entrance so get there early to walk through to the palace. Of course it’s incredible. She’s stunning. Amazing. The sacred geometry of it all is just too much for words to explain. Take it all in. Don’t rush it. Don’t skip the museum on your walk through either; it’s free entry and shows lots of excavation goodies, provides context and information. No need for a tour group for this one, unless you’re super into them. Feel free to roam and take it all in without the time constrictions. You can always eavesdrop on other groups along the way as well. Heaps of podcasts to listen to on your drive/ride into the area to get yourself up to speed. There are also tour guides at the front if you do require guidance last minute. Parking is easy for cars, van, campers etc. Fee is a flat rate per hour; I think we paid like 7€ for the few hours we were there. Lots of parks and chill areas to have your pre prepared Brekky, lunch or snacks, and there are multiple cafes, bars & restaurants close by if needed. Toilets are spread out among the complex, with some accessible by wheelchair. Contact the site for info about your specific needs. They’ve done a great job by making it as accessible as possible for an ancient site. There are some rooms with ramps and others without. The stairs are a killer in the heat. Bring water. Bring water, maybe suncream depending on the times, bring a snack, the Alcazabar has a few flights of steep stairs to get to the top but it’s so worth it at the top and the walk back down is so easy. Walk through the parks and gardens on the way back and relax with water, coffee or beer along the way. Truly one of the most incredible experiences of my life. So thankful to have been able to visit this place. Thank you.

The Generalife is a true oasis of peace and beauty within the Alhambra. 🌺✨ Walking through these historic gardens felt like stepping into a living painting — vibrant flowers, perfectly manicured hedges, and the gentle sound of fountains and flowing water all around. 💧 The views over Granada and the surrounding mountains are breathtaking, especially at sunset, when the whole landscape glows. 🌄 Each corner has its own charm, from the tranquil courtyards to the elegant archways framing perfect photo spots. 📸 It’s the ideal place to slow down, breathe, and soak up centuries of history and artistry, away from the busier parts of the Alhambra. A must-visit for anyone who loves gardens, architecture, and a touch of magic. 🌟

Such beautiful gardens, which are well looked after. Too many people walking through (which includes myself), but the spot was amazing 👏. Thank you for sharing this magical place with tourists.

Beautiful place for a walk. The buldings, fountains and gardens are amazing! There were water points everywhere, so you can fill you bottle every 5 minutes. Good marking, so you see everything.

BOOK WEEKS/MONTHS IN ADVANCE!! was very hard to get a ticket but we managed it. Very pretty, some gardens and a building, lovely views of Alhambra. Recommend going here first and then to Alhambra.

Together with the Palacio de Nasaries, this is also a Must see in Alhambra. It is a garden that only female royal families lived, so very beautifully constructed with artistic gardening. You need to book tickets well in advance. We did 6 months ago. Otherwise cannot see. Takes at least 5-6 hours to see all 4 in Alhambra.

We started our Alhambra visit with the Generalife Gardens. Originally built in the 13th century as the summer palace of the Nasrid sultans, these gardens are simply breathtaking. Surrounded by a variety of plants and trees, you can hear the gentle sound of running water and fountains everywhere. The reflections, the scent of flowers, and the cool breeze create an incredibly peaceful atmosphere. Walking through the paths, with birds singing and water flowing beside you, makes you feel as if time slows down. The small pools and channels beautifully reflect the Nasrid architects’ love and respect for water. A refreshing, tranquil, and truly unmissable place in Granada! 🌿💧🌸

The Generalife ornamental gardens are truly impressive through their combination of simplicity and strategic placement. Located at the highest point of the Alhambra, they offer many scenic viewpoints over the city and the palace. The symmetrical design creates a calming atmosphere while also serving a practical purpose, providing ventilation and plenty of shaded areas. If you're visiting in the afternoon, I recommend starting with the gardens. You can walk through in about 45 minutes, but for a more relaxed visit with time for photos, plan for 1 to 1.5 hours.

Ok and well maintained but literally nothing to see, it’s just a bit abandoned, no shade really, 2 drink machines and a coffee machine and nowhere to sit in the shade. Not recommended to be honest for any longer than the 25 minutes that takes you climb it, go to the look to wet your head and snap a picture or two. The projections weren’t working and it was just baron. Sad.

Beautiful fortress, the audio guide is essential. The site is well organized and well kept. Some sections are reconstructions but most are actual ruins. Loved our "pit stop" that turned out to be a prolonged visit. The video is a must. We learned a lot about the history of the site. We really appreciated it, it's one of the most interesting sites we visited in Spain. Highly recommend the visit. Crossed maybe 10 other visitors on the entire site.

Fortaleza de la Mota is a perfect example of how history should be transmitted. The visit includes illustrations showing how the buildings looked originally, a 15-minute video about the history of the fortress and the town, 3D representations of some areas as they were in the 16th century, written information throughout the site, and a digital audio guide included in the ticket price. And it's a beautiful place!! All this for just 8€, which also gives access to the Archaeology Museum in the town. This is how history should be taught and experienced: complete, engaging, and interactive. Alhambra could learn a lot from Fortaleza de la Mota...

Incredible site, we were here on a Tuesday in June and it was empty for the first half of our visit. They undersell the "movie" in the church; the production value is quite high and it is shown across several screens with surround sound (?). The story is told in a very compelling way. Also there is a lot at the top of the hill near the stairs you don't need to park in the city center and walk up like we did 😅

A stunning piece of history. Amazing to explore this unique site with such a story to tell. Well presented and pretty much had the place to ourselves. Partner has limited mobility and was able to get around with her walking stick but would be difficult if less mobile or in a chair, though there were ramps for steps but it's very uneven ground . Some great audio visual information installments. Entrance ticket also gives entry to museum in town but we will have to return for that another day. As with everywhere in this part of Spain, avoid the heat of the afternoon.

Amazing place. 2.5 hours in the castle and could have been longer. Well worth it.

We had an amazing visit here. My children loved it. It's very spacious and if you go in the morning the air feels beautiful and there's not too many tourists. It's full of history from the time of the Arabs to the Christians. Absolutely stunning views from the top of the citadel. Lovely church and you go inside and can see the skeleton of it it's very interesting. This place kept us entertained. The price is cheap and you can use the ticket to go to the museum down in the center of the city. The workers are very knowledgeable and mark the map for you so it's easy to track where you are. There's also a free audio guide.

Fantastic views. Recommend walking up if you are fit and able too. Avoid the heat of the day. Hotel at the top of you need a drink! Some great walks around Jaen

All preserved very well. Us only one third of original castle. Stunning views. One of the finest preserved medieval castles in Europe.

Great castle 🏰 with a wonderful view of the whole city

Free entry to this old quayside fort. Nice views and it's an interesting stop in Cadiz. Only a few minutes from the beach.

Location is something else The welcome letter tells all info related I loved this gesture to welcome you with the story of the place/castle Must visit when in Malaga

We were staying at the Parador, largely as it was so close to the castle. I was intending to walk around the outside early in the morning but it was wet and windy when we got up. Entrance was €3.50 and the wind had really picked up so we joined a few other visitors, hats and raincoats sticking to our bodies as we dodged from tower to tower to avoid the driving rain. Each tower had exhibitions about the castle and there was an AV presentation, in Spanish. It showed how the Moorish city grew and there were two castles built as the city expanded. The Christians then extended the walls and built additional towers and the French demolished parts of the old castle when they left Spain after the Peninsular War. We saw the prisons where the French kept Spanish guerillas before executing them and there was information on Teresa and the politics of the area after Ferdinand III captured it from the Moslems. The weather put us off spending too long outside but the wildflowers in the centre would have been beautiful in the sunlight and the views, even with the cloud, wind and rain were stupendous.

Absolutely amazing views from this fascinating castle. Loads of history to be learned here. You can guide yourself and/or get a talk from one of the guides/staff. Nice walk to the edge of the hill with an enormous cross - fab overlook. Nice place for a rocky picnic. Free parking.

Amazing cathedral where you can access the external upper balconies with superb views of the city and surrounding countryside. The very impressive virtual reality goggles (on the left as you enter) are the best way to start your visit. An audio guide is included in the entry price. On our visit there was a very charming lady selling the tickets and managing the shop, who spoke English.

This is a must see whilst in Jaen- it’s such a stunning cathedral. This cathedral is in my top three cathedrals of the world which I would have not have expected given the size of Jaen. It’s not only stunning but different from my cathedrals of its era. The architecture of the roof is unusual and stunning in my opinion. You can visit three levels. In the basement it’s like a museum and the upstairs galleries have lovely views looking down on the inside of the church. The audio guide was a bit over-detailed for me so I gave up on it and just read the signs which were in Spanish and English. Visited on a hot Saturday in July and it was virtually empty. Outside the cathedral is a lovely square with seats to sit in the shade and admire the front of the building.

A wonderful castle 🏰, with a great view of whole city.

Fantastic breathtaking cathedral! Also the VR headset available at the entrance was amazing giving birds eye views of the cathedral! An absolute must! Also to see it at night recommend making the trip up to the Parador and walking along the path to the edge underneath the white cross...

If I'd been wandering solo this would have been a ten minute visit but our guide, Patricia, was fabulous so the visit was extended to an hour by learning about the bishop who remained unburied for 500 years, the choir seats and the council being snubbed, the balconies around the outside, the bombing of Jaen in the Spanish Civil War and the face of Christ relic. It is an impressive and well maintained building but there is very little in the way of information unless you have an audio guide.

We have spent a month touring Spain and done our fair share of Spanish cathedrals. We were a bit reluctant to visit this Cathedral just because we really have overdone cathedrals in the past month. Cathedral overload has been succeeded. However every Spanish cathedral is special and different in its own way and Jaén is no different. Jaén has some amazing art. The cathedral itself is stunning. Very tall and light. We were lucky in that the organist was practising when we were there. The organ here is amazing - and I have heard a few. It was such a privilege and very inspiring just to sit and listen to this incredible musician in such an amazing building. The audio guide is a bit dry - as must cathedral audio guides are. So even if you are approaching cathedral overload - go and visit Jaén cathedral

What to say about the beauty of this Cathedral. Such a great architecture and very unique style and design. For me it can be ranked in the top of Europe. Its so great!!!

Great place! Beautiful architecture! Peace and quiet. Love it

Town was a bit disappointing not much atmosphere, old part was worth seeing

Beautiful little town with a quaint historic centre. Beautiful cathedral and medieval palaces. Old centre is a no traffic zone. A very pleasant visit. It is best to park the car outside along the circular way called Murallas, where the views are fantastic.

Must visit ... history, scenic surroundings and great food

Like a ghost town with sometimes a cattle of tourists behind a guide

Nice walking

Beautiful!

Must visit if you have interest in the Jewish culture. And if no interest... you should get to know it. After all, they have preserved the Torah, the "Law" of the Almighty and Yeshua (the Hebrew name of Jesus) is the Living Torah. עם ישראל חי

The Sinagoga del Agua is one of the most fascinating places in Úbeda. Hidden away behind a simple door, it opens up into a beautifully preserved space full of history and atmosphere. You really get a sense of the city’s Jewish past. The guided tour is only in Spanish, which might be challenging if you don’t speak the language, but they provide a small booklet in English, German, and other languages so you can read along. It’s easy enough to follow and still enjoy the visit — the place itself is captivating, from the stone arches to the ritual baths. Even if you don’t understand every word, it’s absolutely worth it for the experience and the feeling of stepping into another time. So if you are ever here in Ubeda make sure to visit the sinagoga del Agua. And i recommend booking the connected tour with the other jewish museum (you can ask for that at the reception or book it over tripadvisor)

Beautiful place, Isabel our guide was great and went out of her comfort to support non Spanish speakers at the tour.

A Hidden Gem: The Synagogue de Agua in Úbeda The Synagogue de Agua in Úbeda is a must-see for anyone who wants to explore the rich history of Andalusia. This hidden treasure, located deep in the heart of the city, is a testament to the Jewish presence in Úbeda and a stunning example of medieval architecture. What to Expect: ✅Historical Significance: The Synagogue de Agua is one of the few surviving synagogues in Spain built before the expulsion of the Jews in 1492. It offers a fascinating insight into Jewish life and culture during this period. ✅Architectural Beauty: The synagogue is a masterpiece of architecture, with beautiful vaults, intricate decorations, and a unique design. Meticulous restoration has helped preserve its original splendor. ❗Guided Tours: Unfortunately, the guided tours are only in Spanish, making it difficult for tourists to follow the thematically focused tour. However, there are booklets with information in English, French, Italian, and German so you can follow the tour thematically. I was deeply impressed by the beauty and history of the Synagogue de Agua. The tour was informative and captivating, and I learned a lot about the Jewish community in Úbeda. It was an unforgettable experience that I would recommend to anyone interested in history, architecture, or religion. Tip: Don't book the tour online, but rather on-site, as it can be combined with a tour of another Jewish house for a lower price. Conclusion: The Synagogue de Agua is a truly interesting place that will take you on a journey back in time. It is a must-see for every visitor to Úbeda and an unforgettable experience that you will remember for a long time.

Interesting guided visit for €5 of a fairly recently rediscovered medieval synagogue, or so it is believed. Developers of three adjacent buildings in 2006 found a basement with huge earthenware vases half sunk into the ground, all covered in sand and debris. Further excavations revealed a number of wells in adjacent cellars that were full of rubble, and a perfectly preserved large rectangular ceremonial bath down seven steps, all carved out of solid rock inside what must have been a prehistoric cave created by underground streams. Also a number of arches, columns and architectural features including a double prayer gallery as used by women in synagogues, above a central space that would have been used by men. Archaeologists concluded that during medieval and renaissance times this building had indeed been used as a clandestine synagogue during periods when the Jewish faith was persecuted in Spain.

Stupid that it costs you more to order the tickets online than at the door. And no effort is done by the cassièrre / guide to speak anything else than Spanish. The French and English texts don't explain a lot, are quiet rubbish. The whole visit is done very speedy, you are not allowed to take your time to admire anything. Definitely, in those circumstances, not worth the money.

Most disappointed. We paid our entry fee. No audio guide. There was a spanish tour starting. We were obliged to join it. We were then told we could not proceed ahead of the tour, which was in spanish only, and taking 15-20 minutes per room. We left. We asked for our entry fee back. After consultation with the tour guide, this request was granted!!!! So we wasted 45 minutes and saw the 1st room only. What a ridiculous bunch of clowns!

Wonderful area for the migrating birds. We saw a Marsh Harrier, glossy Ibis , swallows, Flamingos red billed ducks, white Stork . The people who maintain this area are doing a great job.

It so desperately needs more water to reestablish its glory. What little remains still holds a great compliment of birds, however the majority of the reed beds are now dry. The reserve is expertly maintained by a dedicated staff. But will it ever return to its former glory? Not with fields of new vines and olives planted sucking water from the water table. Nation help is needed to retain this Spanish treasure!

Well worth visiting! It took me 42 years to finally stop by on one of my many crisscrossings of La Mancha! Plenty of water and all sorts of birds. It has a calming effect on visitors.

We visited on a sunny and warm Sunday afternoon at 6pm. There were still 100's of families, couples and guided parties walking round the various routes. We were lucky though to have a guide who was able to explain quite alot in English. The levels of water have fallen due to the dry weather and this has pushed the wildlife further away from the walkways and viewing areas. I suggest you either take a pair of binoculars with you or go on a guided walk that provides them. I think the best time to visit if you want to see as much wildlife and in particular the birdlife is in the mornings and from Monday to Friday as the numbers of people visiting are significantly lower than at the weekends. There are toilets situated at the start of your journey so I would say if you need to go do it before you set off walking. There is also a small shop selling souvenirs as well as snacks, water and ice cream etc. Try to visit in April and May or even earlier as the water levels drop as the summer months approach. On the plus side if you have travelled in a campervan or you are towing a caravan, you can stay overnight in one of the grassed car parks. Remember to bring your own food as Daimiel is about 14km away.👍👍👍👍

A beautiful Natural park to spend with Family and Friends. It was a beautiful experience walking around the park. During summer it is good to visit during morning because it could be very hot during tge middle of the day.

Bird watching in an easy way. Almost flat and well prepared with walkways over the water takes you to the observation posts. From these wooden cabins it is worth to use long shot photography and telescopes to watch wild life upclose. Big cranes arrived early november this year in numbers. Ducks, storks, herons, cormorans...

It’s such a beautiful place, but I went on summer and it was slightly dry. Probably is better to come on a wet season.

Must do trip from madrid!!! So worth it to drive there (about 1 hr), you only need an hour or two there to take photos and go up inside one of the mills. Amazing views, and you can walk/hike to see all of them or also go by car and stop at each of them. No regrets.

Visiting the Molinos de Viento de Consuegra felt like stepping into a storybook! 🌾 These iconic windmills, perched along the hilltop, are absolutely breathtaking — especially with the sprawling countryside stretching out in every direction 😍. Walking from one windmill to the next, we couldn’t help but imagine Don Quixote and his legendary adventures coming to life. The views from the top are spectacular, with the castle standing proudly nearby and the charming town of Consuegra below. It’s the perfect place for photography, a peaceful walk, and a moment to soak in the history and beauty of Spain. We went early in the morning, and it was quiet and serene, with just the sound of the breeze turning the sails. A must-visit destination for anyone traveling through Castilla-La Mancha — full of magic, history, and unforgettable scenery. 🌟📸

Such a fun place to stop and see this historic site in Spain. The windmills are much larger than they look in pictures and it's amazing to see them up close. You can pay a couple of Euros to go up and see the inside. I think it's worth it as it was very fascinating. There is a little movie they show you that explains how they worked.

The windmills of Consuegra are located on a high ridge overlooking the plains of La Mancha. It is a very nice place to visit, offering a wide panorama of the Castilian countryside—a classic view of the region, often associated with the novel Don Quixote. The views from the hilltop are excellent and stretch clearly for miles, providing ample opportunity for good photographs. The site also features the Medieval Castle of Consuegra, which is located right next to the mills. The castle is an interesting structure to explore, offering solid insight into the area's history and strategic past. While it requires a drive, this destination is totally worth the trip. It combines significant history and appealing architecture with great natural views. If you are traveling through central Spain, we recommend making this a worthwhile stop on your itinerary.

I have a special desire for windmills especially those old windmills, visited those in Mykonos and absolutely like them. Knowing Spain also have old windmills and I have to be there. The sunset here is incredible and I would assume sunrise is amazing as well. Worth a visit and if you drive, drive lol the way up to the last windmills!

Absolutely loved my sunset walk among the windmills of Consuegra! 🌇✨ A wonderful blend of history and nature, with the sky ablaze in gold and pink hues. 🌅 Perfect spot to burn some calories and be mesmerized. 🏃‍♂️🌟 First stop on my mini Europe road trip and it was fantastic! 🚗🇪🇸 Highly recommend!

Wonderful place with stunning views. You can visit a windmill inside and learn how it works. Several languages available. So interesting! Bring a wind jacket 😉

Quite nice if you’re around. Wouldn’t drive here just for this.

Fascinating and eary arid landscape with windmills of La Mancha. Very friendly people. Restaurants let you use their restrooms for free.

Lovely place, views amazing, shop friendly, one of the bars/souvenir shops up where the windmills are very welcoming, another not so, however, walked into town and went for a drink at Pl Mayor, 13, 13610. What a wonderful family, they cooked for us after kitchen closed, as they were cooking for family. Massive portions, well cooked and presented, made us feel very welcome.

Wonderful place to visit. Near is excellent michelin recommended restaurant. From this position you have best view on the city. And ofcourse you can enjoy in famous Don Quixote windmills. Visit is free, but some windmills are open where you can buy souvenirs or learn more about culture of the area and more about windmills.

Great place to spend an afternoon. Really enjoyed watching the mill work from the inside. The inside is only open on the first Sunday of every month so plan accordingly.

Very well maintained and preserved windmills. Worth a visit. Plenty of parking. Couple of food options there and a small souvenir shop with a very nice staff.

Beautiful location with the best views of the city! These famous windmills have been featured in Don Quixote’s match scene so if you’re a fan of the book, a visit is worth it! It’s free to visit plus some windmills are open sometimes so you can go in and view the inside as well which is fantastic. There are gift shops and restaurants here as well so if you want some original Don Quixote gifts or food, this is a reasonable place to purchase them.

A fabulous Royal Palace with gardens that deserves your visit. The famous gardens here were the inspiration for the musical piece "Concierto de Aranjuez". This was one of the favorite musical pieces of my father which inspired me to visit. When we attend they were doing a lot of construction and renovation which detracted from the experience. It was still well worth visiting. We said to ourselves we would love to come back when they're done with the renovation work. We were not able to visit the fabulous garden with the fountain because of this renovation work. The other gardens were open with several working fountains and some fountains that were not flowing.

One of the must-see places in Aranjuez. This place is so beautiful and so detailed. I forgot to take photos of some spots because they were so beautiful 🤦🏻‍♀️ As the the UNESCO World Heritage site and a former spring residence of the Spanish royal family. Located in the town of Aranjuez, the estate includes the palace, extensive gardens, and other buildings like the Casa del Labrador.

At just 60 minutes from the Madrid center via Cercanias C3 train. Very well preserved and restored, it was the royal palace for the spanish throne until Elizabeth II after which the seat was moved to Madrid. From the outside it may seem unassuming architecture but the interior has the grandeur you can find in the Royal Palace in Madrid. The main stairs are a late addition which serves as a great intro with an interesting story. The 'Gabinete Árabe' smoking room, my favorite part of the visit because you don't expect a room like that in the seat of catholic kings and queens, is a breathtaking representation of arabic interior design, replicating part of the Alhambra of Granada. I strongly recommend taking the guided tour. It lasts about 75 minutes, our guide was very knowledgeable and eloquent. The tour gives you private access to some of the best crafted rooms with outstanding ornaments and intimate details of the consort spaces. Just one photo of the exterior to avoid spoilers 😁

The Royal Palace of Aranjuez is a stunning royal residence about 1 hr. from Madrid, historical architecture and its vast,beautiful gardens along the Tagus River. Inside, highlights include the Porcelain Room and Arab Room, filled with intricate decoration and history. Less crowded than Madrid’s main palace, peaceful and scenic experience — perfect for a day trip.

This is a great little getaway that is only an hour by train from Madrid. It is absolutely lovely to wander the gardens around the palace. Inside the palace are lovely rooms that the Royal family that used to stay and live in. The tickets were very inexpensive and this trip is great for half a day. We got some drinks afterwards at the restaurant nearby. If you’re looking for a half day trip from Madrid, this is it!

Expansive palace renovated mainly with rather heavy rococo style interiors. The Royal Chapel was closed for a concert thus all in all a “meh” experience

The palace it’s great! If you have time in Madrid you can explore this place
