Historical landmark
Melilla la Vieja, also known as "El Pueblo," is a 16th-17th century fort with four walled enclosures and multiple museums showcasing relics. The city walls were initially built on rock in the 15th century, bearing the marks of different cultures over time. This monumental complex offers charming neighborhoods, panoramic views, watchtowers, and beautiful buildings like the Baluarte de la Concepcion and the Hospital del Rey.
Beautiful place full of rich history and charm. The blend of Spanish and Moorish influences in the architecture makes every corner feel like a step back in time. Walking through its quiet streets, you can’t help but appreciate the well-preserved fortress walls and stunning views of the Mediterranean. The serene atmosphere is perfect for those looking to escape the bustle of the city and immerse themselves in culture. Whether you’re a history buff, a photographer, or just someone who loves a peaceful stroll, Melilla Vieja is a must-visit!

You should visit Melilla la Vieja if you’re in Melilla. Beautiful views and interesting history.

There is so much packed into this area! There were so many great museums scattered throughout, great views of the sea, a few great restaurants, cats, alleyways, and so much history. Please note that to see the Cuevas deal Conventico (the archway from the sea into the land) you need to schedule a guide.
Elizabeth K — Google review
I didn’t expect too much but I left speechless. This place is incredible. It’s huge, there’s so many alleys and different places it’s like a maze, everything’s beautifully restored with plazas and gates and drawbridges and accesible watch towers. At one of the squares there’s a museum and some rooms to look into. You have to visit if you’re in the city!

Beach
Nature & Parks
Ensenada de los Galápagos is a hidden gem in Melilla de Vieja, offering a stunning view from the bastion of Baluarte de San Pedro Bajo. This beach is a local favorite, tucked beneath towering Medieval walls and cliffs, providing a secluded atmosphere despite its proximity to the city center. Recently renovated with added services like lifeguards and easy access, it's an ideal spot for history enthusiasts and sun-seekers alike.
Spectacular beach located right under the fortress - you need to access through a historical gate from the street and then walk through a walled corridor. Easily the coolest beach in Melilla. The place to go after exploring the magnificent fortress itself.

Gorgeous beach, in the middle of Melilla, locked gate & completely empty on a Sunday in February. As others have mentioned, paradise when wind is correct. Luckily, you can access from other side and swim across as local kids do.

(Translated by Google) Hidden little beach within the historic walls. When we were there, the sea was very rough and the waves were incredibly high. My children loved watching. Definitely worth a visit. You can explore further along the old walls on foot or by car. (Original) Verborgen klein stukje strand binnen de historische muren. Toen wij er waren was de zee erg wild en de golven heel hoog. Mijn kinderen vonden het geweldig om naar te kijken. Zeker de moeite waard om langs te gaan. Je kan te voet of met de auto verder op ontdekking langs de oude muren.

(Translated by Google) The bathroom is very good, but security could be improved. There's only one guard at the entrance, but that doesn't guarantee your belongings won't be stolen. It's not a good idea to go alone in the afternoon. (Original) El baño muy bueno, es mejorable la seguridad. solo hay en guardia a la entrada que no te asegura que no se lleven tus pertenencias.

Historical landmark
Cuevas del Conventico, located between El Convento and the Conventico, are a complex network of caves with three floors. Originally dug by Phoenicians, these caves were later used by soldiers for shelter and daily activities during wars. Over the years, they played a crucial role in Melilla's defenses against Moorish armies. The caves were beautifully restored between 1993 and 2000.
A must visit! A Spanish speaking guide gives you the history of the place. The tour is complimentary. Unfortunately i didn’t speak Spanish. After the cave visit our guide had keys to unlock the door that takes you down by the water. A stunning view on a beautiful sunny day. A pleasant walk down to the beach.

(Translated by Google) The Conventico Caves are, without a doubt, a fascinating corner of Melilla: a labyrinth of historical tunnels with centuries of military history and captivating legends. However, our visit was marked by frustrating contrasts that prevented us from fully enjoying it. The good: - The caves themselves are impressive, with passageways and views of the sea. - The coastal location adds a unique charm, especially because of the famous arch and shell beach. What could be improved: - Restricted access: Although we understand that bad weather can be a risk factor, not being able to go down to the beach (the only point to appreciate the arch in all its magnitude) left the visit lame. We only had the option of seeing the arch from the Military Museum, which was already closed when we left the caves visit. - Organization problems: The visiting hours published on the official website did not coincide with the real ones. In addition, it is not possible to reserve online, something essential in 2025. - Attitude of the staff: The hostesses showed a cocky and unempathetic tone regarding the impossibility of going down to the beach. In a tourist site, courtesy should be a priority. - Unused technology: Several screens and projectors were turned off or damaged, which reduced the depth of the historical explanation. (Original) Las Cuevas del Conventico son, sin duda, un rincón fascinante de Melilla: un laberinto de túneles históricos con siglos de historia militar y leyendas que atrapan. Sin embargo, nuestra visita estuvo marcada por contrastes frustrantes que impidieron disfrutarla plenamente. Lo bueno: - Las cuevas en sí son impresionantes, con pasadizos y vistas al mar. - La ubicación junto a la costa añade un encanto único, sobre todo por el famoso arco y la playa de conchas. Lo mejorable: - Acceso restringido: Aunque entendemos que el mal tiempo puede ser un factor de riesgo, no poder bajar a la playa (único punto para apreciar el arco en toda su magnitud) dejó la visita coja. Sólo tuvimos la opción de ver el arco desde el Museo Militar, que ya estaba cerrado al salir de la visita de las cuevas. - Problemas de organización: Los horarios de visita publicados en la web oficial no coincidían con los reales. Además, no es posible reservar online, algo básico en 2025. - Actitud del personal: Las azafatas mostraron un tono chulesco y poco empático ante la imposibilidad de bajada a la playa. En un sitio turístico, la cortesía debería ser prioridad. - Tecnología inutilizada: Varias pantallas y proyectores estaban apagados o estropeados, lo que restó profundidad a la explicación histórica.

(Translated by Google) The cavities that make up the Conventico Caves were formed naturally in the sandstone cliffs by marine erosion. Due to their strategic location by the sea, they have been used as coastal refuges since ancient times by various civilizations, including the Phoenicians, Romans, and Arabs, primarily as shelter for ships and sailors. No architectural structures from this period have been documented within the complex. With the consolidation of Spanish rule over Melilla in the Modern Age, the caves began to serve logistical and defensive functions. During the Siege of Melilla in 1774-1775, they were converted into warehouses, shelters for the civilian population and clergy, and spaces for religious services. During this period, expansions and internal divisions were made, allowing for more intensive use of the underground space. In 1925, the construction of the port of Melilla transformed the cove where the caves were originally located, filling it with sand to create the current Trápana beach, which modified its access from the sea. Between 1993 and 2000, a structural rehabilitation project was carried out on the complex. The works included the consolidation of vaults with crossed arches, the construction of new brick vaults on the lower level, the plastering of walls, and the paving of streets above the caves, such as Miguel Acosta and Concepción, to prevent subsidence. (Original) Las cavidades que componen las Cuevas del Conventico se formaron de manera natural en la roca arenisca del acantilado por efecto de la erosión marina. Debido a su localización estratégica junto al mar, fueron utilizadas como refugio costero desde la Antigüedad por distintas civilizaciones, entre ellas fenicios, romanos y árabes, principalmente como abrigo para embarcaciones y marineros. No se han documentado estructuras arquitectónicas de esta época dentro del complejo. Con la consolidación del dominio español sobre Melilla en la Edad Moderna, las cuevas comenzaron a desempeñar funciones logísticas y defensivas. Durante el sitio de Melilla de 1774-1775, fueron acondicionadas como almacenes, refugio para la población civil y el clero, y espacio para la celebración de actos religiosos. En ese periodo se realizaron ampliaciones y divisiones internas que permitieron un uso más intensivo del espacio subterráneo. En 1925, la construcción del puerto de Melilla transformó la cala donde se ubicaban originalmente las cuevas, rellenándola con arena para crear la actual playa de Trápana, lo que modificó su acceso desde el mar. Entre 1993 y 2000 se llevó a cabo un proyecto de rehabilitación estructural del complejo. Las obras incluyeron la consolidación de bóvedas con arcos cruzados, la construcción de nuevas bóvedas de ladrillo en el nivel inferior, el estucado de paredes y la pavimentación de calles situadas sobre las cuevas, como las de Miguel Acosta y Concepción, para prevenir hundimientos.

(Translated by Google) A surprising, historic site in the heart of Old Melilla. The caves, carved into the rock, have centuries of history as shelters and storage facilities, and today offer a unique glimpse into the city's heritage. A short visit, but highly recommended if you're a history buff. The scenery is breathtaking. Not suitable for claustrophobics... (Original) Un lugar histórico y sorprendente en pleno corazón de Melilla la Vieja. Las cuevas, excavadas en la roca, cuentan con siglos de historia como refugio y almacén, y hoy permiten descubrir una parte única del patrimonio de la ciudad. Visita corta pero si te gusta la historia es muy recomendable. El paisaje impresiona. No apto para claustrofóbicos…

(Translated by Google) A recommended place to go, they explain what happened in Melilla during the war and show it to you, the views are incredible and very beautiful, to go you have to book in advance and it is completely free, to access the beach you can only access it from the caves and it is only to see it and you cannot swim or anything, but it is very good and worth it (Original) Un sitio recomendado para ir, te explican lo que pasó en Melilla en la guerra y te lo enseñan, las vistas son increíbles y muy bonitas, para ir tienes que reservar antes y es totalmente gratuito, para acceder a la playa solo se puede acceder desde las cuevas y solo es para verla y ya no te puedes bañar ni nada, pero está muy bien y merece la pena

(Translated by Google) A lovely visit, one of the best activities in Melilla. The beautiful location and Clara's kindness make the tour a must-see. It is not accessible for people with reduced mobility; the tour involves climbing and descending stairs and passing through narrow areas, so this should be taken into account. (Original) Una visita hermosa, de las mejores actividades en Melilla, el lugar hermoso y la amabilidad de Clara hacen del paseo un imperdible.

(Translated by Google) Well, I have noticed that the floor of the Dorado room vibrates with footsteps, and I think its solidity is questionable. Perhaps it requires an architectural review of solidity, or we will wait for a new earthquake of our Alborán fault, so that it falls and then we realize its fragility...very beautiful site and worth a visit in Melilla (Original) Pues me he dado cuenta que el suelo del salón Dorado vibra con los pasos, y creo que su solidez es cuestionable.

Great place to have a shower after a night in the ferry. The beach itself isn't clean unfortunately... And the worst is that the guys supposed to clean the beach actually contribute in dirtying it... There was a shift of two Moroccan ladies who were working to clean the area followed by two guys who seemed to be there just to enjoy the view. One of the guys (older with an earring) this morning 8h30 of 20th September 2024 was smoking his cigarette and used the feet-washing facilities to turn it off and then threw it on the floor of the beach shower... Picture published... So no wonder this beach is dirty...

One of Melilla's main beaches. A good stretch of sandy beach with facilities in the summer season.

(Translated by Google) Enrique Nieto's building that still preserves its designer's cartouche. "The architect shows us a specific commissioned work, by his hero, in a street, in principle, of second category, where the boxing of the building - on three sides - and the style used —neo-Muslim—, highlighted on the outside, must preserve the religious cult to which it is intended. This same type of decoration and structure is going to be taken up by the Mr. Nieto, in the mid-forties, when he designed the Mosque Central—or masgid aljama—on García Cabrelles Street, speaking to us of a stylistic language of medieval Muslim inspiration to which one resorts, within the conventionalism of aesthetics nineteenth-century historicist, for the preparation of a constructive typology determined. In this case, as it is assimilable, it is the antagonistic to the Gothic, Romanesque, Byzantine of the Christian cult." (Salvador Gallego Aranda) (Original) Edificio de Enrique Nieto que aún conserva la cartela de su diseñador. "El arquitecto nos muestra una obra de encargo específica, por parte de su prócer, en una calle, en principio, de segunda categoría, donde el encajonamiento del edificio —a tres vientos— y el estilo empleado —neomusulmán—, remarcado en su exterior, deberá preservar el culto religioso al que está destinado. Este mismo tipo de exorno y estructura va a ser retomada por el Sr. Nieto, a mediados de los años cuarenta, cuando proyecte la Mezquita Central —o masgid aljama— de la calle García Cabrelles, hablándonos de un lenguaje estilístico de inspiración medieval musulmana al que se acude, dentro del convencionalismo de la estética historicista decimonónica, para la confección de una tipología constructiva determinada. En este caso, como es asimilable, es lo antagónico al gótico, románico, bizantino del culto cristiano". (Salvador Gallego Aranda)

The museum, known as the Museo Egipcio de Melilla (M.E.M), is highly regarded and should receive increased public support. Visitors are greeted warmly upon entering, and the knowledgeable guide provides professional yet easily understandable explanations of all the exhibits, catering specifically to children aged nine and above. The M.E.M is a valuable asset to Melilla, offering a glimpse into Egyptian history and culture.

(Translated by Google) I have fallen in love with this museum and its guide, Soufiane, who has made the visit really enjoyable and makes you hooked on every explanation and detail of it. I am in love with museums and Egypt and I have been incredibly surprised by the original pieces, how it is displayed, the decoration of the rooms... it is done with care, in the same way that Soufiane shows that she loves what she does and transmits it. , he is not a guide who has learned a script and that's it... the detail of the names on paper as a gift... everything!! I would return just to enjoy it a little more, because I needed half an hour more to be able to see everything in detail and read, since the visits are during closed hours and there was not enough time for everything. Without a doubt... it has been one of the museums that I liked the most overall!! (Original) Me he quedado enamorada de este museo y de su guía, Soufiane, quien ha hecho la visita realmente amena y hace que te enganche a cada explicación y detalle del mismo. Soy una enamorada de los museos y de Egipto y me ha sorprendido increíblemente las piezas originales, como está expuesto, la decoración de las salas… esta hecho con mimo, de la misma manera que Soufiane se nota que le gista lo que hace y lo transmite, no es un guía que se ha aprendido un guión y ya está… el detalle de los nombres en papel como regalo… todo!! volvería solo para disfrutarlo un poco más, porque me faltó media horita más para poder ver todo con detenimiento y leer, ya que las visitas son con horario cerrado y no dió para todo. Sin duda… ha sido de los museos que más me ha gustado por todo en conjunto!!

(Translated by Google) It belongs to the Gaselec Foundation (private non-profit cultural institution). Admission €6, children under 10 years free. You must reserve in advance to attend. It can be visited from Monday to Saturday morning in two passes, one at 10:00 and another at 12:00. The guided tour is very well explained, but I think it is a bit heavy for children. The museum is very good and has a large number of original pieces. I recommend visiting not only to people from outside but also to those from Melilla. (Original) Pertenece a La Fundación Gaselec (Institución cultural privada sin ánimo de lucro). Entrada 6€, menores 10 años gratuita. Hay que reservar previamente para poder asistir. Se puede visitar de lunes a sábado por la mañana en dos pases, uno a las 10:00 y otro a las 12:00. La visita guiada muy bien explicada, pero considero que para los niños se hace un poco pesada. El museo está muy bien y con gran cantidad de piezas originales. Recomiendo visitar ya no solo a la gente de fuera sino también a los melillenses.

(Translated by Google) We loved the museum. At the entrance they were very pleasant. The guide was very attentive and explained all the content with very professional explanations but easy to understand for a 9-year-old child.

(Translated by Google) Very complete and enjoyable explanations. You must make an appointment in advance, since you have to visit it in a group (€6/pax).

(Translated by Google) Playground and skate park. It is a very large area near the city center to be with the children or take a walk. There are specific areas for skating, basketball courts, two indoor soccer fields. There are few benches to sit on and the fountain area is completely abandoned and badly damaged, in very poor condition. The fountains were a good option for the summer heat and the children had a great time. On these dates there are several attractions set up for the little ones. The prices are not bad. An ice skating rink is also set up. (Original) Zona de juegos y skate park. Es una zona muy grande cerca del centro de la ciudad para estar con los niños o dar un paseo.

Catholic church
The Church of the Immaculate Conception, located in Melilla, is a must-visit historical site. Dating back to the fifteenth century, it has undergone restoration but still showcases some unrestored altarpieces and a single image of the Pieta due to its weight. The church holds poorly preserved artwork and is currently under renovation. Despite this, visitors can explore its premises and learn about its rich history.
(Translated by Google) After years closed due to the 2016 earthquake, the Church of the Purísima in the Old City has reopened its doors. Years in which the damage caused by the earthquake has been restored and strengthened. In addition to excavations in the subsoil where crypts and burials have been found. Victoria, our guide, has been a magnificent host, giving very good information. The Church is empty of images on the altarpieces and only one Pietà remains. Very interesting visit and thanks to Victoria and Lucía for their attention and availability. (Original) Después de años cerrada con ocasión del terremoto de 2016, ha abierto de nuevo sus puertas la Iglesia de la Purísima en la Ciudad Vieja.

Nature preserve
Pinares de Rostrogordo is a pine forest located on a plateau at the northern edge of Melilla, Spain. The area features well-maintained hiking trails and is ideal for picnics and barbecues with family or friends. It offers a different atmosphere from the city and provides a quiet, safe environment for camping. Although surrounded by military establishments, it's a peaceful place to enjoy nature.
Great park, really different from the Melilla atmosphere. Well-maintained, but you still will see some trash near the road. Perfect for camping. I was going to stay in a camping nearby, which turned out not to exist, but found this park and spent a good night there. It's surrounded by military establishments so there are police cars going around, so don't expect complete darkness, but overall quiet place and feels safe. I didn't find any facilities, but there were some benches and tables, as well as designated spots for barbecue.
