Description
The best way to reach the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, on Mt Benacantil (209m/686ft), is to take the lift from the east end of the Paseo de Gómiz. From the castle there are magnificent views of the town, the coast and the huerta and of the hills to the north. The Castillo itself is the successor to a Carthaginian stronghold built by Hamilcar Barca.
