A 10th-century fortification with walls and a tower, located on top of a hill dominating the old part of the town. Together with the so-called Puerta de Antequera, it was almost completely destroyed during the French invasion and its remains used as quarry. The Torre del Homenaje was rebuilt in the 1970s and it surroundings were improved. It has views over Vélez and the Mediterranean sea and is sometimes used as a venue for concerts.
Cuevas de Nerja
A series of caverns of almost 5 km (3.1 mi). One of Spain's major tourist attractions. Concerts are regularly held in one of the chambers, which forms a natural amphitheatre. Not suitable if you have any walking difficulties, as there are many stairs and no ramps.
