A few years ago I walked up to the castle and it didn’t take me as long as I thought (but I was fitter then!!). Decided to drive up this time and glad I had google maps to help navigate. There is parking outside the castle and we walked the few steps to the viewpoint. Spectacular views down across the bull ring, port area and city beyond - there is an orientation panel but not easy to interpret due to weathering. It can be difficult to get a reasonable view elsewhere due to the trees/foliage and other than from the castle ramparts, this is where you’ll get the best views (and it’s free..👍).

The view of the city and the plaza de toros from the castle mirador is something worth remembering through the countless photographs that represent a must of this attraction. There is a path that will take you with a little effort to a very suggestive view. If you do it in the evening it's even better.

Lovely view! You can go during the day or sunset time. It is a kind of heavy walk up in the very hot sunshine. I dont recommend it when it is rainy as the path might be very slippery. We walked up and down during the daytime but also the other time we took a taxi (6e?) from the city center to get up there at the sunset time and walked back down later. Both are worth for. You may also want to take some snacks (water, red wine, olives etc.) in case you plan to stay a bit more time and have an aperitivo picnic style on the sunset.

This place is massive! Lots of walking to explore all areas. Outstanding views and great history. There is a lovely little cafe inside serving drinks, coffee and snacks. Plan at least an hour and a half if you want to see it all

Easy to reach (by taxi or bus 35) this viewpoint has stunning views of the city the port and the bullring. Next door is the Malaga stopper, ideal to have a drink and enjoy other incredible views quietly from its terrace....then I recommend bara walking along a super nice path and without much slope not stairs 😉 !!!
