AddressVélez-Málaga
About
- Capital of the comarca, with an old town declared a historic-artistic site
- Fortress and keep (Torre del Homenaje) at the top, with views over the whole Axarquía and the sea
- Mudéjar churches, Palacio de Beniel and the Museo de Vélez-Málaga (MUVEL)
Good to know
- Go up to the Fortress late in the afternoon: better light and less heat
- Park in the car parks in the centre and explore the old town on foot
- Check the tourist office hours (turismo.velezmalaga.es); Semana Santa (Holy Week) is one of the most important in the province
