The Alcazaba is an 11th-century palatial fortification which stands as a testament to Malaga’s rich Moorish past. You can walk up if you’re feeling active, or take the bus if it’s too hot — it drops you near the top. Inside, it’s a mix of stone walls, arches, and quiet courtyards with views out over Malaga and the port.

A visit to the Santa Bárbara Castle is highly recommended. Located atop Mount Benacantil, at a height of 166 metres, it is one of the largest medieval fortresses in Spain, with unbeatable views over the Bay of Alicante and on clear days you can see all the way to Tabarca Island. Such is its relevance that during the 20th century it was declared a Monument of Historic and Artistic Importance and a Site of Cultural Interest. Here we can also find one of the most characteristic images of the city, a rock formation resembling a man’s profile on the southwestern slope, known as the Moor’s Face, which is best viewed from Postiguet Beach. The Museum of the city in Santa Bárbara's Castle “MUSA”, housed in the Castle itself, was included in its cultural offer and it explains in five theme rooms the history of the city of Alicante and their inhabitants. To descend down from the Santa Bárbara Castle, take the route through Parque de La Ereta, along the mountainside. Its location and views transform it into a place of relaxation as well as a great meeting place. It also has a spectacular restaurant and, on the way down to the old town quarter, you can visit the picturesque, quintessentially Spanish Santa Cruz district. Another attractive option between the castle and the Santa Cruz district is walking along the remains of the walls that surrounded the Castle, which now end in the Santa Cruz district. Visitors can also access the castle via a lift built within the rock face opposite El Postiguet beach.

The historic Daytona Beach Boardwalk is a lively destination packed with classic seaside fun. Spend your day playing at arcades like Joyland Amusement Center and Mardi Gras Fun Center, shopping for unique souvenirs, or enjoying a meal at one of the restaurants with ocean views. The area is also home to Oceanfront Park and the iconic Daytona Beach Bandshell, which hosts free summer concerts and events. Thrill-seekers can ride the Ferris wheel, Slingshot, or go-karts. During the summer, don’t miss the Saturday night fireworks over the pier—an unforgettable way to cap off your evening.
