16th Century Moorish Castle – Castillo de San Miguel. The impressive remains of the old Arab castle dominate the city skyline. Originally built by the Romans in approximately 1st century BC, it was the Moors who changed the castle into an impressive fortress. The castle contains an interesting museum and offers lovely views of the town and beach.
Roman Aqueduct - the Romans built an aqueduct 7 kms long, a lot of which is still standing. Recent finds indicate that this water channel fed a number of hot baths, which are undergoing excavation. Approximately 40 minutes from the town centre is lovely little bridge of Roman origin which was excavated recently and which is well worth a visit.
Archaeological Museum –Near to the castle is the small Archaeological Museum, which is located in what used to be the cellars of a Roman building, now known as the Cave of the Seven Palaces. The exhibits include a fabulous 3500-year-old Egyptian vase.

Bar-Restaurante Cuchi - Alta del Mar 10, near Plaza de la Rosa. This is a friendly but tiny restaurant that serves reasonably priced good food.
Horno de Candida - Orovia 3. Eat your meals whilst sitting on the lovely roof terrace in this pleasant restaurant.
Bodega Francisco - Real 15, north of Plaza de la Rosa. The tapas served in this great old bar are very good. The bar has barrels reaching up to the ceiling behind the counter and the walls are covered with old posters and mounted boars' heads.
Almunecar Restaurant & Argentinean Steakhouse - Paseo de Velilla, 9. For anyone craving red meat, this is the place to go.
