Great View and Learning Experience - Alcazaba is a great example of a Moorish Style fortress. One of the interesting things about it is that it has both circular and square turrets. The circular ones became preferable as cannons got better as the cannon balls would tend to bounce off.
The view from the top is pretty amazing, but it can get very windy. if you have a hat make sure it is secured!
It has LOTS of steps, so if you have limited mobility this is not the trip for you. It is great for getting your daily steps in though.
If you are in the area, it is definitely worth a visit
