Lo mejor de Vélez-Málaga

Vélez-Málaga Essentials

Vélez-Málaga, the capital of the Axarquía region, balances its inland historical core with the coastal attractions of Torre del Mar. The town features the 10th-century Alcazaba-Fortaleza and the Mannerist Palace of the Marquises of Beniel. Along the Mediterranean, the 3-kilometer Almayate Beach and the distinctive blue-and-white Faro Torre del Mar define the landscape. Industrial heritage remains visible in old factory towers, while the 18th-century Castillo del Marqués highlights the area's maritime defense history.
