How they are arranged
Roughly in the order a first visit meets them: the old town and its square first, then the walk down to the sea, then the coast west to Puerto Banús, then the Roman and early Christian sites near San Pedro, and finally the mountain and the dunes.
⭐ Most of the old-town sights are free to walk past, and several of the best things here — the Dalí bronzes, the promenade, the castle walls — are simply outdoors.
What needs arranging
⚠️ The three Roman and late-antique sites — Las Bóvedas, Vega del Mar and the villa at Río Verde — are not places you simply walk into. Ask a tourist office before you go.
