We walked to this place of interest which wasn't all that interesting other than the views of Malaga and the Parador nearby. It was a pleasant walk but you can take a bus No35 up and down. There is a nice cafeteria serving a surprising variety of meals by one lady. More

If you want to admire Malaga from a different place... this is it. The Hop On bus takes right to the gate. Make sure to take lots of pictures! More

Be warned - walking up here, in the afternoon, when it's hot, is pretty brutal! However once you (finally!) get up there the complex is quite shady.
