ABOUT THE TRIP:
The prime attraction of this Segway journey is the Gibralfaro Castle, an extravagant stronghold, constructed by the Hammudid dynasty in the beginning of the 11th century.
Malaga’s Alcazaba is positioned on a hill at the heart of the city, offering a panoramic view of the port. It consists of two fortified walls. Previously, it was linked to the city’s ramparts, providing a third layer of defense, yet only two inner walls stand today. The first wall, moulded according to the hill’s landscape, fully encloses the second interior area and is interspersed with defensive towers.
- Children must be accompanied by an adult

It’s climbing! - Put on good shoes and stock up on water, it’s climbing.
A bit of a steep climb if you're not used to it, but once you get to the top, the view is nice.

Top marks - friendly and helpful - My teenage family and I had a great experience - top marks for friendliness and fun. We had never been on Segways before, Rodrigo - our guide - gave us excellent instructions and lots of support. The castle was well worth a visit and getting there by Segway made it a highlight of our stay in Malaga. Also some great recommendations for things to do and places to eat.

HIGHLY recommend - All of it. It really surpassed my expectations, and we had a great time. We were even able to extend our tour at short notice which was fabulous. I now intend on utilising a Segway tour, where ever possible, on every trip I take! I am converted!

Segway tour to the castle. - We are a mature couple in our 60s and have never been on a Segway before, but Rodriguo was immensely patient and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone and will return to do another in a few months time.

Ready, Set? CLIMB! - So for those who want to waste time climbing a hill on foot to see yet another fortress half destroyed and reconstituted in the 1990s: go for it!
For the others (don't be fooled!), you can get there by car!
Visit without much interest other than a view of the city of Malaga…. Yeah….better to get lost in the Alcazaba below, a more informative visit with soothing gardens.

Malaga castle scam - Beware. There is a gang operating in the gardens below the castle. They squirted what a bystander said was bird droppings onto my back. He tried to lure me into a remote part of the garden where he said there was water. When I didn’t go he “helpfully” tried to wipe it off with a tissue while trying to remove my wallet. I caught him doing it. Reported to police and they said it happens a lot.
