Pros:

We loved the location right next to the fort and looking down to Malaga and the bay. It was stunning.
The reception staff were helpful, friendly and efficient as we're the bar and room cleaning staff.
Our room had the aforementioned view and was a lovely spacious size with a pleasant balcony.
There was lots of storage. The bed was firm but comfortable.
There was lots of free parking.
We walked down to town but took a taxi back up. The fare was very reasonable.
Malaga had a lot of interesting things to do and see. The fort next door was great as we're the other Roman/Moorish ruins.
If you want to go to the Picasso museum be sure to book well in advance.

Cons:

This was our fifth parador stay in three weeks and we found the menu very similar to the others we had stayed in. If this is your one and only parador you would be very happy with what was on offer.

Pros:

Otel tepede kalenin yanında dolayısı ile merkezden taksi veya araçla gelinebilir, şehre inerken yürüyerek indik. Ancak otelin konumu dolayısıyla tüm şehre hakim muhteşem bir manzarası var, odalar büyük ve rahat, kahvaltısı da gayet yeterli.
