We went to a small town in the Sierra Nevada - not far from Malaga. It was an Arab town and was the last Arab town before the Christain reconquest of Spain.

It has a ruined arab castle at the top of a small mountain. We climbed up it. It was hard work but worth it. The view from the castle was incredible. We could see about 4 miles of Spanish coastline, the Mediteranean and the outline of the African coast. To the north are the Sierra Nevada mountains. I was impressed that Lian Choo could make it up the mountain - although when we reached the top she collapsed for about 15 minutes getting her strength back. I took photos and will upload them when we get a better internet conection - probably in Madrid.
