Upon arrival in Comares, you'll be greeted by an impressive Mudejar-style gateway. This double tower with a large arch marks the entrance to the village and is adorned with the Comares coat of arms, the Spanish flag, and the flag of Andalusia.
The gate itself is modern, yet it evokes Comares' Moorish past, once a strategic fortress in the Axarquía. Behind the gate, narrow streets lead uphill to the old village center, where Moorish history is still palpable.
It's a perfect place to pause, take a photo, and begin your journey through this "Balcón de la Axarquía."

"La Puerta de Málaga" is the name of a historic defensive gate in the white village of Comares, Andalusia, Spain, which formed the main access to the fortress and served as a place of surrender to Christian troops.
