The old town centre of Almuñécar is a historical, sightseeing and cultural treasure-trove. The genuine heart of Almuñécar is located around the Castle of San Miguel, which inspired the name of this old quarter, "Castillo" or "San Miguel". The streets of Almuñécar are paved with traditional Almuñécar cobblestones, and there are innumerable little squares, patios and corners where neighbours pause to chat.
