"The Balcony of Europe" is one of the main highlights of our region and whole Andalusia. Simply its spectacular outlook makes this place so unique. Watching a sunset or sunrise in this location is an absolute unforgettable experience, which you definitely don’t want to miss! But of course, you can enjoy fantastic views during any time of the day. So please don’t forget to bring your camera! This place is ideal for strawling around, watching people passing by, and imagine all the events that have taken place in this magnificent place. This rock owns its name to the Spanish King Alfonso XII, who visited the area after a devastating earthquake in 1885. He saw the stunning scenery and said "this is truely the balcon of Europe". But most importantly you should not forget to enjoy the delicious local gastronomy in one of the many close-by restaurants, cafés or ice cream parlors. We could easily spend some hours here trying some dishes of the very creative, traditional and mouth-watering Andalusian cuisine.
