GIBALFARO: CHRISTIAN CASTLE, It's a steep hike up there but well worth it for the brilliant views you get across the city in all directions. There's a good military museum and a cafe inside the walls and I would recommend doing the full circuit to enjoy the views. The path to get up there starts next to the entrance to the Alcazaba, it's a good path and it takes about 20 minutes to reach the top - but it's worth the effort with the stunning 360 degree views from the city. Don't forget your camera and water! PRICES: Free Sundays from 14:00 h, Normal: 2.20 €. Visit joint Alcazaba-Gibralfaro: 3.55 € (RECOMMENDABLE).
