Fatos rápidos: Perched on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean, Sohail Castle spans over 16,000 square meters with strong walls made from limestone and mortar. It formed a strategic defense point guarding the coastline and offers views stretching across the entire Fuengirola bay.
Destaques: The castle's ancient walls reveal remnants of both Moorish and Christian military architecture, showing layers of history you can almost touch. During summer nights, the castle hosts an annual medieval festival that fills the battlements with music, dances, and traditional food stalls.
