Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro, Parador hotel in Centro, Malaga, Spain.
Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro is a four-star hotel located on Mount Gibralfaro with views of the city and Mediterranean Sea from its rooftop terrace. The building preserves old stone walls and defensive passages that spread across the hilltop and are accessible to guests.
A fortress occupied this location in the 14th century, defending Málaga during the Reconquista and experiencing various conflicts afterward. The structure was later converted into a hotel while retaining its original defensive features.
The on-site restaurant serves local dishes made with ingredients from the region, particularly fish specialties that reflect Málaga's culinary traditions. Visitors can taste recipes that have been popular in the area for generations.
The hotel offers air conditioning, satellite television, free internet, and a seasonal outdoor pool for guests. Parking is available and the drive from the airport is straightforward.
The hotel preserves portions of the original medieval fortifications and gives visitors a direct sense of the military architecture from that period. These remains tell the story of Málaga's strategic value as a port city through the centuries.

Malaga's rooftop bars offer a wonderful way to experience the city from above. You'll find bars spread across the old town and newer neighborhoods, each with its own character and views. Some sit right above the shopping streets of the historic center, while others overlook the port or look out toward the sea. These places serve cocktails and light food on open-air terraces where you can watch the city change as the sun moves across the sky. Whether you want to sip a drink while looking at Moorish architecture, the Guadalmedina river, or the Mediterranean horizon, Malaga has rooftop spaces for different moods and times of day. Many are in hotels or standalone venues designed for people who want to enjoy the city's layout and light without staying at ground level.
