Audio Guide of Sohail Castle

Sohail Castle is open every day from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. in summer (from June to September), with reduced hours in winter; check updates on the official Fuengirola Town Hall website. It is easy to reach on foot from Fuengirola Beach or by car via Avenida Ramón y Cajal, with free parking nearby.

Admission to Sohail Castle is completely free for all visitors. There are no entry fees, although some special events may have a charge; check the official website.

It is recommended to allow between 45 minutes and 1 hour to explore the castle, the walls, and the panoramic views. If you include an audio guide, you may want to extend your visit to 1.5 hours for a more complete experience.

Built by the Arabs in the 10th century on top of an ancient Roman acropolis, Sohail Castle was key to defending the Málaga coast and was rebuilt by Christians in the 15th century. Today it is a historic symbol of Fuengirola and hosts concerts and cultural events.

Sunset is ideal for enjoying stunning views of the sea and the Costa del Sol, especially in spring or autumn to avoid the summer heat. In summer, nighttime concerts make it even more special.

The main entrance has ramps, but the interior includes steep stairs and uneven ground, making it only partially accessible. I recommend contacting Fuengirola Town Hall at 952 589 500 for specific assistance.

Just a few minutes away on foot is Fuengirola Beach, ideal for a swim. You can also visit Bioparc Fuengirola (official website) or the Tropical Zoo from the 1970s, both within a short distance.

Wear comfortable shoes for the slopes, bring water and sunscreen, and go up at sunset for incredible photos. Download an audio guide at IAudioguia.com to enrich your visit with detailed stories.
