About
Quick facts: Perched dramatically above a deep gorge, the old town boasts some of the most breathtaking views you'll find in southern Spain. Its winding cobblestone streets reveal centuries of history with every step you take.
Highlights: A jaw-dropping stone bridge spans a chasm over 100 meters deep, connecting two parts of the town like a real-life postcard scene. Local cafes perch close to the cliff edge, letting you enjoy a coffee while staring into the vertigo-inducing gorge below.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes to tackle steep and uneven cobblestones.
- Head to the Puente Nuevo at sunrise for the most dramatic light and quiet moments.
- Avoid weekends if possible to escape the crowds at main viewpoints.
