How could I have forgotten about this part of the Roman Empire? Choosing the walking tour here was a great opportunity to take a step back into time. It was amazing to understand the city's history back to 200 BC. Our guide pointed out the significant features of the 6,000 capacity theater, the carrera marble, the "Hen House" (where the rich wives sat and clucked, clucked, clucked) Absolutely fabulous.

Stunningly beautiful drive up the mountain road. The views are utterly breathtaking. There are several passing places along the mainly single track road, some are in places where photography is a must. Small car park at the entrance to the castillitos with a 500 metre walk to the first of the gun replacements. Very windy when I was there but 360 views were just fabulous. Well worth a couple of hours if the weather is not too hazy.

The facade is white marble and intricately designed. One can take an interior tour to see the tapestries with an English speaking guide. The interior isn't necessary, but it's nice to sit outside and just gaze at the building, perhaps with a cup of coffee in hand.

Difficult to find! I followed the address from here and it took me completely to the wrong place. Here is the google maps plus code for the parking (H5WG+95 Atamaría, Spain) and then the one for the entrance to the hike (H5VG+F6 Atamaría, Spain) I suggest not using Apple maps as this tried to lead me onto the golf course! I got a few funny looks! Lol. The hike itself was great, a wide, stoned, snake like path all the way up with lovely views at different points along the way. It took me around 30 minutes to reach the top and when I got there it was amazing! The views of the la manga strip and the Mediterranean are stunning and the history which remains is mesmerising (the photos people post don’t really do the vickers artillery guns justice) - I would 100% recommend this hike to all interested, it’s definitely worth it. Be sure to take plenty of water, snacks and hike at a sensible time to avoid over heating. Happy hiking ????????☺️
