Hidden away in the hilltops of Ardales National park, Bobastro was originally built by the Romans then later rebuilt by Umar Ibn Hafsun in the 9th Century. It offers a nice walk with great views of the local mountains and the during the evenings it's the perfect spot to watch from the tawny vultures return to their nests.

A hidden jewel in the mountains of El Chorro are the ruins of Bobastro. The history of this village, nowadays ruins, goes back to 880 b.C. The time Andalucia was controlled by the Moors. The church, carved out of rocks is the highlight. You can wander around this relatively untouched and undiscovered area and find caves that used to be dwellings and see structures that could have been defensive walls.

Close to Ardales and the Lakes at El Chorro are the ruins of the 9th century settlement Bobastro. Located on the Álora-Ardales road, about 2 km north of El Chorro, Bobastro sits on top of a large sandstone plateau, ‘Mesas de Villaverde’. Bobastro is an archaeological site containing the remains of a number of different ruins, including a Muslim necropolis and Christian Mozarabic Church. Carved into the sandstone rock, the church is the only example of a temple erected by the Christian community during the Muslim rule of the Caliphate of Cordoba. Omar Ben Hafsún established Bobastro as the capital of his revolt against the ruling Cordoban Caliphate in 880. His conversion to Christianity in 899 explains the construction of the church, excavated into the rock in the late 9th or early 10th century. Hafsún was also responsible for the fortification and improved defence of Ardales, Álora and Canete la Real as part of his rebellion against the Cordoban Caliphate. Today, visitors to Bobastro can walk through the ruins, tracing the history and the legend of this Christian revolt that kept the emirs of Cordoba in check. Visitors can see numerous buildings excavated in the rock; military constructions, houses, caves and the famous Mozarabe church. Although Abd al-Rahman III, the Arab Emir and Caliph of Cordoba, ordered its destruction in 928, the ruins can still be seen today. It’s a square construction that housed a convent of hermits, had a central courtyard with a large cistern, rooms and warehouses. On its southern side, a promontory was “carved” into a point to create a basilica church, with three naves. Set within spectacular scenery, it’s a great place to explore! Open: Monday to Friday (9:30 to 15:00) Saturday & Sunday (10:00 to 17:00) Price: Adults €3, Children (8 to 12 years) €2, under 8 free.

Las ruinas de Bobastro, creadas en el siglo IX, con el asentamiento árabe en la península. Éstas ruinas son un enclave estratégico donde se podrán ver una fortaleza y una iglesia.

Bobastro es el complejo rupestre del s. IX más importante de Málaga. A pocos metros de lo que fue la fortaleza, se encuentran los restos de una iglesia rupestre mozárabe, destruida por Abd al-Rahman III tras la toma definitiva del enclave y la derrota de los sucesores de Omar ibn Hafsún
