view over Malaga

by Antji

Here you have the view from Castillo de Gibralfaro to the city of Malaga. Originally it was palace built probably by Phoenicians, but in 14th century Moorish Caliph Yasuf I had built over it the fortress which is conserved until today. Two of its towers are connected by ducts with the Alcazaba. Alcazaba was the Kings Palace.

Cathedral

by Antji

This is the very big Vathedral of Malaga. It´s derectly in the center of Malaga. After conquering Malaga from the Moors, the Catholic Kings ordered in 1528 to build a cathedral over the original mosque. Construction was not finished until 1728, and the façade is mainly of this later period. Among the highlights are the chapels, Capilla Mayor and Capilla del Sagrado Corazón, and the beautiful choir-stalls.

Cabo de Gata

by Antji

Cabo de Gata should be the south-east point of Europe. It´s in the Region of Almeria on a peninsula. You have a beautiful view from there but it´s always a little bit windy. You should rent a car to see all of the great landscape of this peninsula.

highest point in malaga

by jo104

The Telecabina (or 'Teleférico') takes you on an amazing 15-minute journey in a Cable Car that holds 4 people, right up to the highest point in the Malaga Province Monte Calarmorro at an altitude of almost 800 meters above sea level. From this superb vantage point, you not only have the most magnificent views of the Costa del Sol, but also the awesome panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains (white with snow in the winter months), The Guadalhorce Valley and on a clear day you can see Gibraltar and the coast of Africa

The cost is Euro 11 with a free donkey ride

	Buy cookies from the cloistered nuns Tip Rating:

Updated By jo104 on August 17, 2005

Andalucía Page by jo104

This was the highlight for me in Ronda buying homemade sweets & cookies from a nun in hiding. At the side entrance of the convent of La Merced there is a small room in which homemade sweets & preserves made by the nuns are displayed in a cabinet. You ring a bell & are blessed by a cloistered Carmelite nun, then place your order & place the money for your purchases in a revolving cupboard. A while later presto your goodies are delivered to you in the revolving shelf with your change although you never see the nun.

The Carmelite nuns are of a cloistered order who are devoted to prayer, penance & perpetual abstinence.

	City of Cadiz Tip Rating:

Cathedral of Cadiz

by JanPeter74

The city of Cadiz is a very vibrant but relaxed coastal town near Jerez. The city is built on the westcoast of Spain facing the Atlantic. The city centre is built on a peninsula, so no matter what direction you take, the waterfront is always close by. The main attraction of Cadiz is the enormous, beautiful cathedral (+crypt), but I also suggest you take some time to wander through the small picturesque streets, sit on one of the terraces in front of the cathedral and listen to some of the Spanish street artists.

	Vejer de la Frontera - Andalucia Tip Rating:

Part of the town viewed
through arches.

by Beach_dog

Another quaint white town with a lot of history attatched to it. Vejer de la Frontera has old arabic walls and gates, interesting churches and even windmills. From the town you get great views of some of the surrounding coutryside from its hilltop location. Certainly worth visiting if you are in Cadiz province.

I have more information on my Vejer de la Frontera page.

	Arcos de La Frontera - Andalucia Tip Rating:

Arcos de la Frontera, perched
upon its steep cliff

by Beach_dog

Arcos de la Frontera is a town built for defence at the top of a steep cliff. Maybe not as spectacular in photographs as Ronda, but until you actually visit and realise the scale it may not look impressive. I can assure you it is. It´s history is similar to many Andalucian towns, it came into it´s own during the occupation of the moors and continued through the conquest until the present day. There is enough to keep you occupied here for a full day, and over the past few years has become a favourite with tourists visiting the area.

For more information on my visit here, please visit my Arcos de la Frontera page.

	Cadiz - Andalucia Tip Rating:

Cadiz city

by Beach_dog

Cadiz is reputed to be Europes oldest inhabited city, its time dates back to the Pheonecians who established it in 1,100 BC.

As a city Cadiz has so much to offer the tourist, if you are in the area plan to spend at least a day here. The city came into its own during the 17th century when it was the main port for ships trading with the America´s. Its history though does go back much further. I think the highlight of my day here was a trip up the Torre Tavira tower, it offered a panoramic view of the city, along with views through a Camera Obscura. The recently renovated city fortifications are also very much worth visiting.

You can see more of my day here on my Cadiz page.

	Medina Sidonia - Andalucia Tip Rating:

Medina Sidonia

by Beach_dog

I was very impressed when I visited this white town, there was so much to explore and yet is very much off the main tourist route. Its history runs from the Roman, Visigoths or Iberians, the Moors and after the reconquest the Christians to the present day. Its Architecture reflects this, and there is much to see. But I think what for me made this different from many of the other Andalucian towns I have visited is the remarkably well preserved Roman Roadway and sewers.

You can see more of my day here on my Medina Sidonia page.
