The next day a group of us went to went to the “Alcazaba”
which is a beautiful well preserve Roman and Moorish fort and house
When you get to the Alcazaba the first thing you see is the
Roman amphitheater, which was built on the 2do BC century in the Augustus era,
during the Roman occupation of Spain.
The Moorish fortress was built over the Roman ruins by the
Moors during their occupation of Spain around the year 750 as a protection to
the city from pirates and from the African countries. The Castillo de
Gibralfaro, situated above it was constructed around the year 1057.
We visited the fort and then we started the hike to the
Castillo, and I understand the need to build these building on top of hills or
mountains, what I don’t understand it’s why I feel the need to climb all of
them and to walk all the walls. Nevertheless, I started walking up and up and
up and as we got half way, it’s like, why??? So I sat on one of the walls and I
told them that I see them on their way back. I have seen the Castillo before
with the great view of the city, port and bull ring and it is beautiful and
well preserved, nevertheless, I don’t need to see it again.
