Dominating the skyline above the coastal town of Almuñecar, in Granada province, are the ruins of the old Castillo de San Miguel – San Miguel Castle, a once mighty Moorish fortress. The fortifications were originally built in the 1st century B.C. by the Phoenicians and Romans, but it was during the Moorish occupation that it became a huge fortress with forty towers and three gates.
