Surrounded by the most majestic scenery of lush fertile lands, the extraordinary views stretch as far as the eye can see. The ruins themselves consist of a remarkably well-preserved theatre and the remains of Roman baths. To think what this site would have once looked like takes the breath away and you can certainly see why grizzled Roman soldiers fancied retiring in such a place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to us about her visit, Janis, the founder of the travel blog <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourworldforyou.com\/acinipo-roman-theatre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Our World for You<\/a>, describes what to expect at Acinipo: \u201cThe ancient ruin of Acinipo Roman Theatre is a remarkable site to visit. Perched high on a hill with incredible views stretching across the remote southern Spanish countryside. It appears that very few people make the detour from Ronda, which makes the historic amphitheatre even more exceptional when you stroll around with only a few other folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVisiting Acinipo Roman Theatre you have an incredible aura of its ancient past. You could just imagine locals of 2,000 years ago sitting around the stone theatre being entertained, with the latest theatrical performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joanna, from the Andaluc\u00eda blog <a href=\"https:\/\/andaluciainmypocket.com\/visit-the-roman-ruins-of-the-ancient-city-of-acinipo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andalucia in My Pocket<\/a>, has visited Acinipo herself and told us why she feels it\u2019s a special location: \u201cI think the Acinipo Roman Ruins are a special place for several reasons. Firstly, Acinipo used to be one of the most important cities in the Southern Iberian Peninsula, back in the 1st century, and an important trading route before Ronda was built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAcinipo is not a very popular place with tourists, which makes a visit here quite unique. In a world struggling with over-tourism, a visit to Acinipo is like a breath of fresh air. You can pretty much have the entire site to yourself. The security man at the gate is very friendly and passionate about Acinipo, talking with each visitor, guiding them on how to best experience the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe highlight of Acinipo is the very well-maintained Roman amphitheatre, which used to have a capacity of 2000, which was half of the population of the city, in ancient times. The site is also free to visit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Describing what she personally enjoyed most about this great location, Joanna said: \u201cBesides discovering the story of Acinipo, I really loved the peacefulness of the site. Walking uphill, stepping on the same stones that were part of Roman buildings 2000 years ago, felt surreal. Only part of the archaeological site is discovered, and most of the stones on the ground were part of the city, one way or another, be it a street, a house, or a monument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBehind the amphitheatre, there is the most stunning view over the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. I could have spent hours there, just gazing at that panorama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"generated-id-2\">Roman Sulphur Baths of Hedionda<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Sulphur-Baths-of-Hedionda-550x365.jpg\" alt=\"Roman Sulphur Baths of Hedionda\" class=\"wp-image-2522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Sulphur-Baths-of-Hedionda-550x365.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Sulphur-Baths-of-Hedionda-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Sulphur-Baths-of-Hedionda-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Sulphur-Baths-of-Hedionda.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roman Baths are another iconic remnant of this ancient civilisation and in the town of Casares, visitors can see an example for themselves. The Roman Sulphur Baths of Hedionda is apparently the location that Julius Caesar was cured of a skin infection, thanks to the healing powers of the baths\u2019 sulphuric waters. The local spring still pours out water into these remarkable baths today with locals and visitors alike stopping by for a bathe in his historic location. One must be aware, however, that a certain stench emanates from under these domed ceiling baths thanks to the combination of sulphur and hydrogen. If you can get past that, this is certainly a location that must be visited for as it\u2019s not every day that you can bathe in the same spot as Julius Caesar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Describing what she enjoyed about visiting, Alison, from the blog <a href=\"https:\/\/alisoninandalucia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alison in Andaluc\u00eda<\/a>, told us: \u201cThe Roman Baths are one of the Costa del Sol\u2019s hidden gems. Although popular with the locals (especially on weekends), they\u2019re still relatively undiscovered by holidaymakers despite being only a short drive from the coast. Located near the Sierra de la Utrera, the baths are surrounded by stunning scenery which makes them the ideal place to visit when you want to get away from it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love a visit to the baths after a hike in the surrounding hills \u2013 there\u2019s something very therapeutic about floating in the water to ease your tired and aching muscles (despite the strong smell of sulphur!). Whether or not it really does have healing powers I don\u2019t know, but if it was good enough for Julius Caesar and his army, it\u2019s good enough for me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"generated-id-3\">Roman Villa in Torrox<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Villa-in-Torrox-550x352.jpg\" alt=\"Roman Villa in Torrox\" class=\"wp-image-2523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Villa-in-Torrox-550x352.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Villa-in-Torrox-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Villa-in-Torrox-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Villa-in-Torrox.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Malaga\u2019s charming municipality of Torrox can be found yet another Roman treasure and archaeological site. This is the location of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcostadelsol.com\/explore\/monuments-and-areas-of-tourist-interest\/roman-villa-p33441\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roman Villa<\/a>, situated next to the town\u2019s lighthouse. One of the most marvellous archaeological sites in Malaga, the complex has an array of features that uncover life as it must have been during Roman times. This incredibly valuable site dates back to between the first and fourth centuries AD and is made up of a villa, a salting factory, two ceramic kilns, a necropolis and thermal baths. Archaeological investigations have revealed that this was once an important area for fishing and farming, likely once known as Caviclum to the Romans. Part of the site is open to the public, where visitors can see several rooms that surround a small atrium. It\u2019s certainly worth a visit if you happen to be nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"generated-id-4\">Roman Baths of Las Bovedas<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Baths-of-Las-Bovedas-550x413.jpg\" alt=\"Roman Baths of Las Bovedas\" class=\"wp-image-2524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Baths-of-Las-Bovedas-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Baths-of-Las-Bovedas-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Baths-of-Las-Bovedas-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Baths-of-Las-Bovedas.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located between Marbella and Estepona and just feet away from one of the region\u2019s best beaches (Guadalmina beach), is the Roman Baths of Las Bovedas. That\u2019s right, after enjoying the popular local beach for some fun in the sun, you can stroll over to this ancient archaeological site for some culture. Most historians believe that the baths are the remains of a Roman settlement known as Cilniana, which was destroyed by an earthquake in AD 365. The baths, sadly, have lost some of their beauty over the centuries, as they would have once featured many mosaics with only a few left today. The construction was built around an octagonal pool and patio with an upper-level circular gallery featuring smaller rooms branching off. Near the baths are also some Roman pools that would have once been used for the salting of fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roman archaeological sites to visit in Malaga<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Malaga Roman Theatre<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roman Ruins of Acinipo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roman Sulphur Baths of Hedionda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roman Villa in Torrox<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roman Baths of Las Bovedas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Molly, from Piccavey, also shared with us few more little Roman treasures that you can enjoy in the city of Malaga itself, just in case you haven\u2019t got your fill from the list above: \u201cThere are other Roman relics located in the University of Malaga. There are the old roman basins where they would make garum (fermented fish sauce). Part of the Roman city wall can be seen inside the Hotel Vincci Posada del Patio.

The site is also free to visit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Describing what she personally enjoyed most about this great location, Joanna said: \u201cBesides discovering the story of Acinipo, I really loved the peacefulness of the site. Walking uphill, stepping on the same stones that were part of Roman buildings 2000 years ago, felt surreal. Only part of the archaeological site is discovered, and most of the stones on the ground were part of the city, one way or another, be it a street, a house, or a monument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBehind the amphitheatre, there is the most stunning view over the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. I could have spent hours there, just gazing at that panorama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roman Sulphur Baths of Hedionda<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Sulphur-Baths-of-Hedionda-550x365.jpg\" alt=\"Roman Sulphur Baths of Hedionda\" class=\"wp-image-2522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Sulphur-Baths-of-Hedionda-550x365.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Sulphur-Baths-of-Hedionda-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Sulphur-Baths-of-Hedionda-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Sulphur-Baths-of-Hedionda.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roman Baths are another iconic remnant of this ancient civilisation and in the town of Casares, visitors can see an example for themselves. The Roman Sulphur Baths of Hedionda is apparently the location that Julius Caesar was cured of a skin infection, thanks to the healing powers of the baths\u2019 sulphuric waters. The local spring still pours out water into these remarkable baths today with locals and visitors alike stopping by for a bathe in his historic location. One must be aware, however, that a certain stench emanates from under these domed ceiling baths thanks to the combination of sulphur and hydrogen. If you can get past that, this is certainly a location that must be visited for as it\u2019s not every day that you can bathe in the same spot as Julius Caesar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Describing what she enjoyed about visiting, Alison, from the blog <a href=\"https:\/\/alisoninandalucia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alison in Andaluc\u00eda<\/a>, told us: \u201cThe Roman Baths are one of the Costa del Sol\u2019s hidden gems. Although popular with the locals (especially on weekends), they\u2019re still relatively undiscovered by holidaymakers despite being only a short drive from the coast. Located near the Sierra de la Utrera, the baths are surrounded by stunning scenery which makes them the ideal place to visit when you want to get away from it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love a visit to the baths after a hike in the surrounding hills \u2013 there\u2019s something very therapeutic about floating in the water to ease your tired and aching muscles (despite the strong smell of sulphur!). Whether or not it really does have healing powers I don\u2019t know, but if it was good enough for Julius Caesar and his army, it\u2019s good enough for me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roman Villa in Torrox<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Villa-in-Torrox-550x352.jpg\" alt=\"Roman Villa in Torrox\" class=\"wp-image-2523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Villa-in-Torrox-550x352.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Villa-in-Torrox-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Villa-in-Torrox-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Villa-in-Torrox.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Malaga\u2019s charming municipality of Torrox can be found yet another Roman treasure and archaeological site. This is the location of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcostadelsol.com\/explore\/monuments-and-areas-of-tourist-interest\/roman-villa-p33441\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roman Villa<\/a>, situated next to the town\u2019s lighthouse. One of the most marvellous archaeological sites in Malaga, the complex has an array of features that uncover life as it must have been during Roman times. This incredibly valuable site dates back to between the first and fourth centuries AD and is made up of a villa, a salting factory, two ceramic kilns, a necropolis and thermal baths. Archaeological investigations have revealed that this was once an important area for fishing and farming, likely once known as Caviclum to the Romans. Part of the site is open to the public, where visitors can see several rooms that surround a small atrium. It\u2019s certainly worth a visit if you happen to be nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roman Baths of Las Bovedas<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Baths-of-Las-Bovedas-550x413.jpg\" alt=\"Roman Baths of Las Bovedas\" class=\"wp-image-2524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Baths-of-Las-Bovedas-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Baths-of-Las-Bovedas-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Baths-of-Las-Bovedas-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellehollis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Roman-Baths-of-Las-Bovedas.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located between Marbella and Estepona and just feet away from one of the region\u2019s best beaches (Guadalmina beach), is the Roman Baths of Las Bovedas. That\u2019s right, after enjoying the popular local beach for some fun in the sun, you can stroll over to this ancient archaeological site for some culture. Most historians believe that the baths are the remains of a Roman settlement known as Cilniana, which was destroyed by an earthquake in AD 365. The baths, sadly, have lost some of their beauty over the centuries, as they would have once featured many mosaics with only a few left today. The construction was built around an octagonal pool and patio with an upper-level circular gallery featuring smaller rooms branching off. Near the baths are also some Roman pools that would have once been used for the salting of fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roman archaeological sites to visit in Malaga<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Malaga Roman Theatre<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roman Ruins of Acinipo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roman Sulphur Baths of Hedionda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roman Villa in Torrox<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roman Baths of Las Bovedas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Molly, from Piccavey, also shared with us few more little Roman treasures that you can enjoy in the city of Malaga itself, just in case you haven\u2019t got your fill from the list above: \u201cThere are other Roman relics located in the University of Malaga. There are the old roman basins where they would make garum (fermented fish sauce). Part of the Roman city wall can be seen inside the Hotel Vincci Posada del Patio.
