Playa de Camposoto
Beach
Outdoor Activities
This long beach features bunkers from the Spanish Civil War & views of the Islote de Sancti Petri.
Probably the best beach in the area, my favourite anyway.
1) Plenty of parking
2) Backed by dunes (as opposed to an urban area)
3) Recently (last year?) renovated facilities every 500m or so
4) Couple of seasonal chiringuitos which, though pricey, are nonetheless pretty good
Chris Quinn — Google review
Great amenities among an abundance of free parking. Showers, restrooms, the boardwalk, and the street side parking were all perfect. If you’re looking to get to a beach out of the heart of the city this is the place. A bit of a south wind made the sand tough to avoid but the showers took care of it with easy. Seems to be some cool hiking trails and free camper parking. I would love to go back and cycle the new VERY LONG board walk they are building.
Chase Parker — Google review
It is a good a not so overcrowded beach with a hot water. My children found it especially great because there were tons of very nice shells!
Pavel Málek — Google review
About 5 kilometers of beach if you would connect it with Playa del Castillo in the south towards Sanct Petri. Dark-colored sand with rocks and shells make the beach look dirty. But it is actually clean.
DRINKS, FOOD & BATHROOM: There's a chiringuito right at the entrance with limited shaded outdoor seating.
PARKING: Plenty of spaces at a dedicated lot less than 3-minute walk away.
Watch out for big waves with the wind, especially in May and October.
Big Smile!

Very beautiful beach with enough space to sit and to keep distance. The beach is very well looked after and super clean. There are showers taps and toilets available. Easy to reach by car with plenty of parking close by. Also possible to come by bus.

The last sign post said "Dog Beach 250m". My son, dog and I entered through the "Dog Beach" entrance where a boardwalk takes you a few hundred metres to the beach. There are no further signposts and it's impossible to know where the dog friendly beach starts.
After about 30 minutes of fun on the beach with other dog owners a policeman came on a quad and told us one by one to move further up the beach. I saw him writing tickets to some dig owners. He wasn't very helpful. We walked and walked, but he wanted us to walk more. In the end we gave up and turned back and went home. I won't return.
It's a pity, such a long and beautiful beach which is advertised as dog-friendly but it's made impossible to use.

(Translated by Google) We have been today, and the place is very solemn and grand. However, the best thing is the guide, Sergio, who makes the visit enjoyable, fun and puts you in touch with history without realizing it. I never imagined that I would have so much fun in a place like this or have so much fun learning. Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) Incomparable place in Spanish history. Pantheon of illustrious people who made our country great. And what better icing on the cake than having Sergio explain it to you, a passionate historian who tells it to you as if he were Leo Harlem.
Mandatory stop. The visit seems very short.
Don't forget to book the visit and if you see a video of the pantheon you will enjoy the visit twice as much.
We have had many illustrious compatriots who will describe you in a very short time.
Don't forget to visit it.

Calle Almte. Baturone Colombo, s/n, 11100 San Fernando, Cádiz, Spain
The Playa de la Barrosa is a 6km long beach that was the site of the Battle of Barrosa. It offers activities such as swimming and surfing. The beach has a gentle slope, making it great for children, but can be quite windy with lots of waves. Beautiful sunsets can be seen from here, and in October, the sea is warm and the beach relatively empty. Free parking is available along with small play areas scattered throughout.
This is a fantastic beach! From the north end (just south of Costa Sancti Petri) to the south end (at Novo Sancti Petri), it's about 6 kilometers long. The beach is wide and clean, and most of the sand is soft. The waves are usually fairly gentle making wading and swimming easy. There's a consistent breeze that keeps the beach cool. There are plenty of restaurants within a block of the beach; while on the beach, you're never more than a few hundred meters from one. Near Novo Sancti Petri, people on the beach are mostly foreign tourists or expats (I walked the whole beach on a weekday in October. Almost everyone I passed at the south end was speaking German). There seem to be more Spanish tourists and locals at the north end.
Trash is almost non-existent on this beach.

The most wonderful beach, especially for children as it slopes so gently. It is quite windy so lots of waves but i seriously suggest long hair is tied back or it will be stuck to your sun lotioned face and lip balm. Glorious sunsets here too. We went in October, the sea was warm and the beach almost deserted. Perfect. Excellent free parking and small play areas dotted about.

Tio Pepe is a bodega located in Jerez, Andalusia, Spain. Founded in 1835 by local entrepreneur Manual Gonzalez Angel, the winery produces dry white sherry known for its intense flavor. The winery offers guided tours and tastings that are highly informative and enjoyable.
Reserved the tour online, the 12.30 slot. The guide was lovely, good English. Tour was interesting and a mini tasting to end it. The bodega itself is quite photogenic. Would recommend it!
Esther Kool (Go Live Go Travel) — Google review
I would not even give this place 1 star, it’s not an option.
We planned a day for the sherry triangle (or part of it)
tasting, experience , knowledge,…. Excited for what we would learn .
However, we started with Gonzalez Byass aka Teo Pepe
We signed up for the English tour with the best sherry & tapa option
There were a lot of folks for the tour so they spit it , the 1st guide seemed really pushy so we waited for the second
They announced: ” we are waiting for a few to arrive that have reserved and then we will start.”
I thought , why would you tell us that ?!!! Instead of “ we will began shortly”
This should have been a red flag for what would be…
I just don’t even know how to express enough that our tour guide should “never” be a tour guide!!!
Or , even have a job where she deals with the public… ever!!!!
We had the second English tour on 03 January 2024
I am pretty sure she was able to be assertively negative to each and everyone of us.
I truly believe she hated us.
Which made me hate this brand!!!!
We finally get to the tasting and tapas
I am excited because I had studied and learned how well sherry paired with food
Not so
It was so bad
So disappointed
We had set out for our day…
…. our vacation, our time, our money, …
To have an amazing experience
and instead
We were beat up
We never went to another sherry bodega either
We were done
Chalk it up for the worst day of our vacation!!!!
I highly recommend , if you are still interested in visiting a sherry bodega after reading this Do Not Visit González Byass / Teo Pepe!!!!
No one should spend their vacation, their time, their money to be treated like we were treated
( on vacations we visit distilleries, wineries, breweries & other production tours known for the area. This Is by far the worst tour !)
Julie Shore — Google review
Fun tour of the Tio Pepe sherry producing facilities in Jerez, followed by tasting 4 different sherrys. We also elected to have the food platter to accompany the sherry which was good. Plenty of sherry provided. A good afternoon and very informative, worth the cost.
steve&alfie — Google review
For €18 pp I would expect a bit more than just a commercial tour and two drips of Sherry, sorry I should say 'Jerez'. No 'refills'?
Spanish guide in English with heavy Spanish accent making understanding sometimes hard to follow.
It's a oncebin ablifetome, so we leave it
Rodric Leerling — Google review
We had a tour & VOSP tasting tickets. The tour was good, even though the train broke. The guide was very knowledgeable and. provided a lot of coverage.
But the tasting was plain awful. Most of the tasting was arranged by the guide and 1 waiter and for the group of ~15 tables it took very long. To make things worse the more expensive VOSP ticket holders were served last. We where wondering why did we pay extra just to wait 15 more minutes looking at other people at nearby tables already half way through the tasting.
Also we received only cheese snacks while other tables (including one other VOSP table) received Cheese and Jamon for snacks to accompany the tasting. It just looked like total chaos.
And, BTW, the VOSP Jeres wines very pretty plain. You expect some kind of rich nuanced taste from the old wine, but this ones did not look like the wines you want to age. They already lost nice strong taste of the young wine, but did not show this soft deep taste of the old one. This is subjective, but I would not recommend old wines from Tio Pepe.
Vitalii Tymchyshyn — Google review
The tour was a little slow, but the tasting itself was quite good. They give large pours for a tasting and the sherries were good (I had the VORS tasting).
Cameron Goff — Google review
This was a disappointing visit. We were a group of 4 on the tour + 4 wine tasting with tapas visit in English. We could barely hear the guide. The had a small headset that barely amplified her voice and we lost at least half of the information. They took us to watch a video that we also couldn't hear well and there were no subtitles to make up for the echo in the room. Then she quickly described the wines while we waited outside of the tasting room. Once we were in the tasting room, there was nobody available to answer questions or further explain the wines and tapas.
The Sandeman bodega has a much better sherry visit + tour. If you like reds and whites, Luiz Perez also has a great visit and tasting as long as you take a taxi or have a DD to drive since it's just outside the city.
Victoria Smith — Google review
Toured the bodega on 7th November 2022 with a group. Entry fee is about 18 euro but worth it if you are interested in learning more about sherry. We had a tour of the facilities with a good English speaking guide and finished off with a short tasting of a few of their sherries. Of the four offered for tasting there was only one (the extra dry) that didn't appeal to me. Several others thought the same. Quite an extensive set-up that handles weddings, receptions, etc. There is a gift shop and a hotel on site.
Paul Smith — Google review
The "tour" is a joke. Half of it on a "train", when one gets to see nothing but some walls. The other half is about moving from one cellar to another looking at barrels. No valuable information about the process, nothing worth hearing or seeing. Then, a short "movie" done, most likely, by some 12 year old for a school project.
The tasting was good, because it is sherry. But, €25 for 4 half glasses of sherry is a bit expensive. I do not recommend it. At all. A huge tourist trap.
soleDrummer music — Google review
Rather pricey for what you get. A tour lasting about one hour where you get to see parts of the property (beautiful) and some info about the winery.
They show a ten minute video which is basically just a commercial. Definitely adapted to mass tourism. The tapas at the end was a big disappointment, not worth the money unfortunately.
All in all OK if you fancy sherry.
Johannes L — Google review
We really enjoyed this tour. We’ve been in on lots of bodega tours and this is one of the best. It helps that it’s a really beautiful place. Tio Pepe have made their bodega a really special place. The tour guide ‘Agatha’ was exceptionally good. The shop as you would expect is very good. Overall I would really recommend this tour
Patrick Bastow — Google review
A bit disappointing. This was likely because when we arrived to purchase same day tickets for the English tour, they said there was no English tour that day even though on their website it said they did. Multiple others ran into the same problem as us. We all just ended up buying tickets for the Spanish tour. They take you in a small red trolley-like bus through the yard then you get off at the entrance again and go on a walking tour of the indoor facilities. The tour guide during the trolley part was extremely hard to hear because the sound system in the carts are really faint. The walking bit is more interesting. We got the most expensive 4 sherries + tapas tasting ticket and I would recommend not getting the tapas unless you didn’t eat anything in the morning (because the sherries are kind of strong) as the tapas are just little croutons, cheese cubes, and a couple salami cubes. I don’t know why but for some reason I thought these tapas would be like restaurant tapas; they’re not. I didn’t like the sweet sherries (2 of the 4). Regardless of which tasting you pick, you will try at least one dry and one sweet sherry. I honestly think that’s about enough though, don’t think you need all four and most people just take two sips then discard the rest. The grounds are probably much prettier in the spring or summer but quite barren in the winter.

C. Manuel María González, 12, 11403 Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, Spain
The Cathedral of Jerez is a large, gothic-style building that was originally built as a collegiate church between 1695 and 1778. It became the seat of a bishop in 1980 and still plays an important role in the city's religious life. The cathedral has a bell tower that was originally built on another site and dates back to the 15th century.
This is a very impressive cathedral. They offer a very comprehensive tour.
It is worth to spend a couple of hours inside. It is stunning.
Oscar Bedoya — Google review
It’s alright, didn’t go inside cuz it’s 6€ for the entry, senior also needs to pay 5€. The outside looks ok, should have a bit of maintenance of the cleanness…
Amanda Li — Google review
A must visit! The outside is spectacular and don’t miss going inside if you can - it’s €6 for the cathedral and €7 for a combined ticket for the cathedral and tower. We didn’t go up the tower (formerly a minaret) as it was so hot 🥵 but definitely need to do it next time!
The cathedral is a must visit if you’re in Jerez and the cool inside is a welcome break from the heat in summer ☀️
Penelope The Flyaway Girl — Google review
Very interesting. We expected audio headsets, but you use your phone from the QR code on your ticket. Plenty to see, but the climb up the tower is not worth it. €7 per adult, kids free and pensioners reduced.

Pl. Encarnación, s/n, 11403 Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, Spain
The Alcazar de Jerez is a fascinating medieval fortress with remains of Islamic influence, located in the heart of Jerez. It was originally built by the Moors to resist Christian invaders, and you can visit the baths, mosque and defensive walls and towers today.
Fantastic historical site in the middle of Jerez. We visited in January and the place was empty. We enjoyed this as much as our visit to Grenada, especially considering the few visitors in Jerez. The entrance fee is only €5 and you can spend a good hour on the grounds. The history of the place is extremely interesting so we recommend reading up ahead of time.
Bull Dogg — Google review
Well worth a visit, not as grand as some we've seen but lots of history. Some very old ruins on show and an old pharmacy. The camera obscure was shut when we visited. There were Arab baths with star holes in the ceiling and an olive pressing room. It would've been nice to have a postcard but there was no gift shop.
Bev Baker — Google review
I only intended to spend 30 minutes here but ended up staying for almost 2 hours. What a gem of a place this is to visit. It may lack some of the scale or grandeur of its cousins in Sevilla and Granada but it has many positives that make it worth your while.
Firstly there's the price - at only 5 euros this is great value for money. You can download a tour guide via a QR code but if you're unable to do this don't worry - there are plenty of information boards throughout, in both Spanish and English. Due to covid they don't take cash.
The other great positive is that almost everything is accessible. Indoors you'll find temples, baths, museums displaying artefacts and tools (some of them enormous), grand rooms displaying billboards from yesteryear and even a pharmacy with hundreds of interesting items on display.
Outdoors you'll find landscaped gardens, courtyards, archaeological sites, water wheels and towers and fortress walls you can climb to access great views across the city and the nearby cathedral.
Well worth an hour of your time.

Fantastic visit. Excellent value and really interesting - very much enjoyed the camera obscura. The camera operator spoke excellent English and ran the viewing in both Spanish and English simultaneously, switching between languages. Also enjoyed visiting the gardens, which were beautiful.

Great moorish castle with some interesting exhibits, including an oil mill, an Arab hammam, and some cool towers with great views. The gardens are lovely and peaceful as well. The pharmacy in the upstairs of the modern palace was also interesting.
I do wish they’d let the peacock and peahens out of the tiny cage though.

Nice place itself, yet direct surroundings make the magic evaporate. Also, a bit chaotic in its layout. Worth visiting though. Well preserved pharmacy.
hopperado — Google review
Loved visiting this site. Very well preserved, with many signs in English as well as Spanish. For those areas with no English signage, you can easily use a QR code on your phone to get a voice over of the history. The gardens were beautiful, and on a Tuesday afternoon mid summer it wasn't super busy. There were plenty of shady spots to take breaks, which was good as it was much larger than we anticipated to see every inch of it. The pharmacy was a special treat. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area and have the time.
Hannah Frare — Google review
I loved it here. Really enjoyed a few hours exploring the palace, the old pharmacy, the ruins, baths, towers and gardens. Very inexpensive with a free (brilliant) audio guide - make sure your phone is charged! Great vistas across the region and lots of really interesting history. Highly recommend!

We went here just for a short break during our trip from Cadi to Arcos de la Frontera. The entrance fee is 5 euro per person, and you can park in the underground parking next door. If you have visited Alcazar in Seville or Cordoba, you might end up being somewhat disappointed. Enjoy the sun, and move on quickly. Enough Jerez places for a drink nearby.

Very well restored buildings. Interesting history of several eras. Lovely tranquil gardens and many opportunities for vistas across the city. Very low entrance fee

This is an amazing site. Well documented with Spanish and English signage, a good couple of hours to see the site for only 5€, with "happy hour" discounts available at the end of the day. The Moors and the Christians are well represented in the centuries of history represented. The views from the higher points are worth the trips up the somewhat precarious stairs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Calle Alameda Vieja, s/n, 11403 Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, Spain
The mesmerizing beach La Fontanilla is a vast expanse of sandy shores, flanked by majestic cliffs. It offers ample opportunities for swimming and sunbathing. However, it's disappointing to note that the Conil town hall provides services only from July 1 to August 31. This lack of protection services like lifeguards or civil protection in September is not acceptable. The beach is still worth visiting despite this shortcoming.
Great beach, clean, large and near Conil.

(Translated by Google) The spectacular, large, wide beach with cliffs ... a wonder, but that the town hall of Conil only has services from July 1 to August 31, I do not see it as normal ... what happens that those of us who go in September do not have the right to lifeguards or civil protection services ... MAYOR ... !!!

(Translated by Google) Excellent beach with fine sand and transparent water. Ideal for a walk and a supporter of some sport (shovels, volleyball, ….).
Ideal for sunbathing, it has very good Iara places to steal beers and enjoy some otofucyo from the sea.
It has a huge parking lot, but it is always full due to the large influx of people, although later on the beach you don't see as many people.
Ideal Iara to spend the whole day if the lift does not prevent you.

Paya excelente con una arena fina y un agua transparente. Ideal para darse un paseo y partidario algún deporte (palas, vóley, ….).

Tiene un parking enorme, pero siempre está lleno debido a la gran afluencia de gente, aunque luego en la playa no se ve tanta gente.

(Translated by Google) Hello, on the way to Gibraltar a stop in Marbella is of course mandatory. I was at Playa Fontanilla yesterday. Really very, very nice there. I love the Spanish beaches in November/December. Clean and so beautifully empty. (except for Benidorm - it was full)
There are also some nice restaurants on the promenade or directly on the beach. I had a very good meal at Tabernita del Mar yesterday. I will come back.
Best regards
Frank Koop

Moin, auf dem Weg nach Gibraltar ist ein Stop in Marbella natürlich Pflicht. Ich war gestern an der Playa Fontanilla. Wirklich sehr sehr schön da. Ich liebe die spanischen Strände im November/Dezember. Sauber und so schön leer. (bis auf Benidorm - da war voll)
Es gibt hier auch einige schöne Lokale an der Promenade oder auch direkt am Strand. Ich habe gestern sehr gut im Tabernita del Mar gegessen. Ich werde wieder kommen.
Beste Grüße

(Translated by Google) The existing ramp and next to the stairs were in poor condition.
Proud to see the arrangement of wooden railings on the access stairs to the immense beach.
Thank you Conil for responding to the requests of your citizens and visitors.
Congratulations on the feast of your patron saint La Virgen de Las Virtudes.

La rampa existente y próxima a la escalera estában en mal estado.

Felicidades por la fiesta de su patrona La Virgen de Las Virtudes.

Includes going up tower for spectacular views as far as Atlantic coast. Watch out for pigeons up there, clanging bells and high winds! Sensory experience!

This would be a place you stop by for half a day or maybe just a few hours. I would recommend this place as a passing kind of stop. It's small and it has a few historic sites. The church is really beautiful, make sure you check the times for going inside.

(Translated by Google) Gothic-style church in the upper part of Medina, very close to the castle; You have to climb a few hills to get there. Built between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries. It consists of three naves with elevation and widening in the central one, as well as in the transept and in the main chapel, which is covered with a Plateresque vault. The tower is 40 meters high. You can visit inside, although when we went it was closed.

Iglesia de estilo gótico en la parte alta de Medina, muy cerca del castillo; hay que subir unas cuantas cuestas para llegar. Construida entre los siglos XIV y XVII. Consta de tres naves con alzado y ensanche en la central, así como en el crucero y en la capilla mayor, que se cubre con una bóveda plateresca. La torre tiene 40 metros de altura. Se puede visitar por dentro, aunque cuando fuimos estaba cerrada.

We really liked visiting this church, it was beautiful, in a rugged way. Both the outside (I found it pretty unique and original, specially the façade) and the inside are worth visiting, and the view from the top is pretty. For 2.5€ it is a reasonable way to learn the importance this building and Medina Sidonia had, due to the fact that it was easier to defend than the coast.

(Translated by Google) You experience a show with horses, cows and bulls. The explanations, in German for us, were very helpful and expert in understanding the connections between bull breeding, bullfighting, the cultural landscape of Dehesa and working with the horses. Afterwards we got a guided tour through the stables and saddle room. From our point of view, the rather high entrance fee is fully justified. Thank you for a great morning.

Man erlebt eine Show mit Pferden, Kühen und Stieren. Die Erläuterungen, bei uns in deutsch, waren sehr hilfreich und fachkundig, um die Zusammenhänge zwischen der Stierzucht, drm Stierkampf, der Kulturlanschaft Dehesa und der Arbeit mit den Pferden zu verstehen. Im Nachgang haben wir noch eine Führung durch die Ställe und Sattelkammer erhalten. Aus unsrer Sicht ist der recht hohe Eintritt voll und ganz gerechtfertigt. Vielen Dank für einen tollen Vormittag.

An interesting structure, surrounded by a good park. However, the car park is a pit of potholes half-buried rocks and suspension twisting ruts. If you can walk there, so much the better. And if you visit during a holiday when all the locals take their picnics, be prepared to wade through a ton of rubbish. Spaniards don't know how to use Iitter bins, so they just throw it on the floor.

Puente del Dragón, 41500 Alcalá de Guadaíra, Sevilla, Spain
Arcos de la Frontera is a picturesque town situated in Andalusia, Spain. The Guadalete river surrounds the city on three sides, and towering vertical cliffs add to its scenic beauty. This area of Southern Spain is known for its historic white villages with whitewashed walls, ornate churches atop cliffs, red-tiled roofs and cobblestone streets that date back to the Roman and Moorish eras.
The Basílica de Santa María de la Asunción, located in Plaza del Cabildo, is a stunning church with a mix of architectural styles. Its southern facade features an elaborate 18th-century Baroque belfry, while the west side boasts a beautifully carved Plateresque doorway. The interior is a treasure trove of ornate Baroque choir stalls, intricate vaulting, and a lavish Renaissance altarpiece.
You can't come to Arcod de la Frontera without going up the tower of this church! Amazing views and the church itself is a delight.

Smaller church on top of the hill and took about 10-15min from the center of the town. Slippery roads when wet but with majestic view of the valley down below. Overall we like this white village but can the residents clean up their dog poops? These land mines were everywhere.
DANNY KidSuper LIN — Google review
This largely Gothic styled church was built around the 15th century. It sits atop the limestone cliffs of Arcos on Plaza del Cabildo - a square which is essentially a carpark and also the location of the Parador de Turismo. You'll be rewarded with some great views overlooking the countryside from the mirador or visit the bar in the Parador for an even better view and a refreshing drink after the steep climb to get here.
If you're mobility restricted there is a small car park here and also taxis (probably the best option as the street are very narrow in places).

Ideal for a 1-2 nights stay.
We arrived at night which made the road up a bit challenging as there are no lights.
We enjoyed the stay watching the sunset and sunrise and where greeted by numerous vultures flying in front of our window the first morning.
We had dinner in the hotel restaurant which was cozy and nice and opted for the breakfast buffet which had a good enough selection to start the day well.

For one night, if you never stayed in a castle hotel, this is an experience. It is located on the top of a mountain. This mid evel Castle is part of an empty village/Alcazba. Rooms are ok but not luxurious. They also do not pretend to be luxury. 3 stars, and that is what it is. Views are amazing. It is fantastic to see the eagles fly over the castle from your room or from the square next to the hotel castle. The houses in the village are empty or can be rented via some air bnb organazition. Besides the view, there is nothing there to do in the evening time. Day time excursion, etc, must be planned in advance. Dinner in the restaurant belonging to the hotel disappointing. Not bad, but I felt it all was prepared in advance, with no real flavour or taste. Food prepared without passion/love.
Breakfast was good, and the coffee at breakfast was 9 out of 10.

Laila M — Google review
We can only contribute and rate their unfriendly pet politics. in the restaurant. Only 1 table of 4 British clients was occupied, and the staff preferred to refuse our access (party of 6) because of our well-behaved Beagle. They even suggested we should tie him outside, which is now totally against Spanish law. Most places hide behind the pretext that they are not allowed to have dogs in places where food is processed; but our dog did not have the intention to sit in their kitchen !! How unfortunate but so classic in Spain.
Cin N — Google review
Recommend one/max two nights stay (we stayed for 3 nights and this is a bit too much).
Horse riding is absolutely gorgeous (book and pay from reception).
Restaurant in the castle is really good, locals often come here for a nice lunch or dinner, we tried almost all dishes over there. Warm salad with the goat cheese, both wild boar and deer are delicious.
Medieval houses provide with an amazing feeling.
Just don’t expect super clean surfaces (the hotel tries to clean it, no worries, it’s just that type of old surfaces).
Cooking inside did not work, no wifi and electricity breaking- all of that fits quite well to the concept actually

This was one of the most magical nights of my trip to Spain. The castle is so well preserved and it was cool staying within those walls. Our room was huge and I loved all of the terraces and little walkways. Breakfast was very good and the staff were all amazing. There is public parking right near the entrance of the castle and it’s not too hard to walk up.
Ashley McCauley — Google review
We stayed in the castle overnight and it was magical. The views alone are unreal and make it worth it. The room is very spacious too. Highly recommend and would easily spend another night there. Things close down early but they have a restaurant in the castle which is good and not horrible in price either. To enter the hotel you need to walk into the courtyard which I read off a previous review as it isn’t well signed marked. The parking is easy enough and it’s a short walk up to the reception desk. Definitely recommend staying here but have a car so you can come and go as you please.

Maribel will show you the facilities and tell you with the deepest passion possible about all the beautiful history of Ubrique and its relationship with leather. Maribel has devoted her life to safeguard and show thousands of pieces of the town's history for the last 25 years, with little support from politicians or institutions. A work she can be really proud of.

There are some fine examples of leather work, well worth seeing, but not a word of explanation in Spanish or English, possibly due to the leather manufacturer's quest for secrecy of their processes.
Animal sanctuary & veterinary clinic with rescued tigers, lions & snakes, plus hands-on experiences.
Small, but charming. It will take you between 1 - 2 hours to see it. Quiet, not many people here. You will love the experience of parrots sitting on you and eating from your hand.

A fantastic zoo with so much animal interaction. We are an animal loving family and all said it was the best experience. Fairly small zoo but a wide variety of animals mostly rescued. For example among the alligators are a blind one, one with a broken jaw and one missing a leg that other zoos wanted to euthanise. There are also animals who were pets whose owners donated them as they could no longer care for them. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and clearly loved the animals. One person we spoke with was doing the practical element of a conservation masters and was so enthusiastic to share his knowledge. It took us approximately 3 hours to visit. This included handling a python and corn snake, petting the lemurs and a baby lion cub and feeding the goats and birds in the aviary. We were also able to handle a Harris hawk eagle. Be aware there is no cafe here although you can buy drinks and ice cream. You can also purchase food to feed some of the animals on the way. We had a fantastic time!
Allison McKie — Google review
Small, yet very well organized.
Except for the regular caged animals, there are a couple of "petting" areas -
Farm animals - goats and pigs which you can feed (my kids loved the little lambs).
Lemur enclosure - the lemurs are super friendly.
Birds enclosure - hundreds of parrots and love birds that you can feed and hold.
We didn't get to pet a tiger though, as the line was very long.
All in all, it is a really cute zoo, and as far as I know, at least part of the animals are rescued.
Tuval Rabina — Google review
Best zoo here. All animals are very close to visitors. The bird cage is fantastic, gives a lot of experience to be with the animals. Very good place to spend some time with family. My kids love it. On top you have a chance to visit animal nursery where you have a chance to pet newborn animals. Great stuff.
Radek Rozynski — Google review
We called in the morning to ask if they were open and which animals we could interact with and they seemed rude on the call. However, upon arrival it was the opposite, they were extremely friendly and helpful. We got to interact with the lemurs, snake, birds and baby tiger. The zoo was smallish, but there were many animals. The only negative was the enclosures being small for the animals. The overall experience was incredible because of the interactive element which is not common at other zoos.
Tristan Govender — Google review
Nice well maintained zoo. The animals seemed well looked after. The staff were super friendly and spoke a lot to all kids, explaining details and showing baby animals which ofc was well enjoyed by my 4 year old. Nice place for half a day or a full day if you bring picnic food with you. Just 1 cafe inside which only offers pop and packaged snacks.

It’s the best zoo I’ve ever been to, it’s based on charity to help animals who have been abused ❤️🩹. The zoo is unique because you can pet wild animals for example a few years ago I got to pet the cutest white tiger everrr 🥺🥺. You can also be with birds, monkeys, baby lions and monkeys. It’s good because not a lot of people know of it so there isn’t a lot of visitors. The staff is amazing, so nice and pays attention to you, they are all very passionate about nature.

Its a petting zoo with exotic animals. If you like that sort of thing this place is amazing, we loved it. But if you in general dont like zoo or animals in captivity, do not visit.
You get to feed and pet almost everything from monkeys to parots to rabits and tigers. 1€ for a bag of food, we bought like 10 haha.
The staff is the nicest staff I’ve ever met tho. And everyone seemed to love their job. Super friendly and language no problem. Everyone spoke perfect english. For sure going back in a few weeks.
Ps: Wear boots if it’s raining. All our shoes and pants got messed up by the mud. 100% worth it.

An enjoyable day out, and I would highly recommend visiting. Staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and informative. It's clear they work hard to keep the place running smoothly while helping visitors have an enjoyable experience all while being sure the animals are respected. We arrived as doors opened after driving from Torremolinos, we bought tickets on the door and were given some advice and tips on how to visit the sanctuary. I took my 2 and 6 year old nephews and we all had a nice day. Its sad these animals have ended up here, but at least they have a stable home and are loved and cared for here. We were sure to teach the kids about responsible pet ownership! There's a little kiosk selling coffee, cold drinks and a few biscuits and magdalenas.

Some humans don’t think before they take on a bird or any other animal. They are sentient living creatures and some of the birds can live for up to 70 years. I’ve been going regularly and some of the birds are accustomed to me now so I can feed them and call them by name. The staff care for these animals that people have dumped (terrible people). It’s not a zoo, it’s a sanctuary. One cockatoo was kept in a tiny cage by its previous owner and she ripped out all her chest feathers. She now sees all humans as an enemy. I’ve managed to get her to take food from me a little more gently but it’s taken two weeks. Birds need a lot of time and you have to spot their cues and behaviour. It’s a place where animals get a chance at life. Video of Carmela - she now likes to dance with me.
Please support them with donations. People also get educated going here before they even think about taking on an exotic animal or any animal.
Jonathan R — Google review
I absolutely love this place and the work they do with the animals. These are pictures from our second visit. Our first visit was a rainy day in October so it was much quieter and we were able to have many more interactions with the animals. However on this second visit it was a sunny weekend and noticeable busier so we had less interactions, this in no way spoilt our visit and we still had a number of interactions. My brother was overjoyed to meet a real life black panther and was amazed that he was allowed to hold the baby monkey!
We also held a giant cockroach and a lady asked if we wanted to hold a snake, she then produced a corn snake from her hoody pocket where she was keeping it warm before returning it to its tank.
Staff are fantastic, super friendly and knowledgeable. Will go out of their way to answer questions/find things out for you.
Small but reasonable gift shop.
Admission price is unbelievably amazing!
We are already looking into planning our next visit!

My favorite place to go horse riding! I have been riding with Jo for the past 10 years, and I still come back every time I am in the area! I love going on both fast rides with experienced riders and on more relaxed rides with people without any experience. The horses are well taken care of and all have their own unique personalities which Jo expertly matches to each rider. I have taken countless family members and friends over the years and they love riding here as much as I do! The views and nature during the rides are amazing. Cannot recommend this place enough for both people with and without experience!

The plethora of the cubist buildings, appear to connect block by block into a maze of multilevel, zigzagging angular streets, with a wonderful aspect across the nearby mountains and valleys.
This town is well worth a days visit.

The archetypal Spanish hillside defensive site town. A 'must' visit. Beautifully conserved but still lived in at the same time. Soaring vultures were seen over the cliffs at the top of town. Visit the local artist in his 'cave room' gallery; his paintings have a very certain style and messaging, which I appreciated. Have a beer at the top of town as a reward for the climb.

One of the most beautiful Villages of Andalucia. On the top of the village the ruins of the castle and the cemetery must be visited.

What a beautiful and charming place with stunning views across the mountains. Narrow streets and hidden squares make this a fun place for a leisurely explore away from the sun. The Griffon Vultures soaring overhead above the castle just added to the experience!!

We try to visit Casares when in southern Spain.
It is well worth the drive from the coast and the town is lovely with glorious views as well as the magnificent Vultures and Eagles
Lovely little restaurants and bars and friendly local people. Give yourself a treat away from me the beach.
Loved the place..not so crowded..if you happen to cross the way visit here if possible. The view of the white walled village overlooking from the terrace or the top was very beautiful. Much recommended..

Now among my favorite castles of Spain. Not so crowded as those in Málaga. Large and developed enough to allow some exploration. Yet not so large as to wear your family out. Good brief simplified history helping to realize what a perilous era of history. Man’s inhumanity to man. The ancient prophet’s words ring in my ears, “We all like sheep have gone astray and behold, the Self-Eternal has laid upon *him* the iniquity of us all”! Well worth the price of admission.

If you are in Olvera don’t miss this: a lovely castle with a nice little museum: most information in Spanish but some in English too. All for an incredible 2 Euros. Just the view is worth the visit.

Unfortunately we went here after being at the Alcazar Jerez de la Frontera so not as impressive. A long uphill walk and steep steps to actually get to the castle. You buy tickets at tourist information and then go to the door to the right of the graveyard entrance. You will be buzzed in by the person in the TI.

A really nice place to visit in Andalusia. Amazing views and small paths. Quite easy to find parking. A lot of local restaurants where you can taste traditional food and Spanish tapas. Totally recommend it when you are in Andalusia especially during the day.

One of the 'must visit' Pueblos Blancos. Very cute town with a beautiful church. Walking up to the castle is not meant or the faint-hearted or people with vertigo. However, once there, the views are breathtaking. The views tale you across three provinces of Spain.
It has one of the best preserved moorish fortresses, built in the 12th century which was later rebuilt into the castle we see today.
Definitely worth a stop
Jacques Staal — Google review
A great place to visit...€2 entry payable at the Tourist Information Office... then just go & explore the Moorish medieval castle build on & around the rock. Strategic place with amazing views of the countryside in all directions. Some very narrow spiral steps at the top which take you to the very top turret... well worth the effort to get there. Not wheelchair or walking disability friendly but one has to remember it was built in the 1200s & it was built as a fort/castle that saw military action.

A pretty impressive fighting position that is maintained very well. The access is excellent but you must be in pretty good condition to make the climb to the top of the tower keep.

The views are gorgeous, definitely worth the effort of climbing to the top and doing a 360 view around. Pricing to access is reasonable and the QR codes to explain the tour are very handy. Would definitely come back for a second visit if in the area.

We didn’t intend to visit as we parked fair away and the climb up looked so far away but once we set off it was no more than 15 minutes of strolling along. Much of the square was closed for siesta but the castle was open and it was very interesting. Some great views and rich history to take in. It’s a good place to stop off if you’re in the area but you won’t be missing too much if you can’t.

The Plaza de Toros is a bullring located in the town of El Mercadillo, in the province of Ronda, in Andalusia, southern Spain. The bullring was originally built for use by the Royal Cavalry of Ronda in 1784, and it has been used for that purpose ever since. It is one of the largest and oldest bullrings in Spain, and it has played host to some of the most famous corridas (bullfights) in history.
One of the oldest and largest bull ring still in use in Spain. The place is a masterpiece of engineering en architecture made by the same person who designed the Ronda bridge. The place is full of history. The museum has nice artefacts that helps understand the history and bull fight traditions origin.
It is a must see if you visit Ronda.
Roberto Ferraris — Google review
We visited the arena, because we wanted to learn about the history of bullfight from a cultural-historical perspective. We were shocked to learn that bullfights – the ritual killing of animals for entertainment – are being conducted in the area to this day. We were also shocked at the complete omission of an animal rights perspective. The museum offers very much content on “preserving heritage” and very little on the actual elaborate and utterly draconic killing ritual designed to maximize pain, that bullfighting is.
Bella Heart — Google review
What a cool experience! I’ve never been to a bullring before. I loved being able to walk into the ring, the stands and see the historical items they’ve displayed. I don’t have any interest in seeing an actual bullfight, but I can appreciate the historical significance and am very glad we chose to visit this location. The staff was lovely and the cost was €9/person (without audio tour). We waited about 5 minutes.
Stephanie Dickens — Google review
I don’t support bill fights or killing bulls and animals just for fun. It’s sad that they still use this space for the fights , so you can see their blood on the ground sometimes 😞.
The inside is cool to look at though, it’s cool to read about the place and the history inside of the venue.
It’s cool that Madonna shot her music video here.
Nice and central location.
Paid €8 to enter.
Cheryl Monson — Google review
One of the oldest buildings in Spain dating from the late 1700’s. The 8.5 euros to enter allows you access to the ring and the small museums located inside the interior of the ring itself. Fascinating to be able to walk throughout the entire arena including the cent of the ring.
Happy Ox — Google review
The bullring tells a very captivating story of the bullfighting history in Ronda and Spain alike.
You can walk through all spaces around the bullring, including the stockyards, the tribunes and the sandy ring itself. The halls beneath the tribunes host interesting pictures from the bullfighting history, costumes of the toreadores and other fight attendants and posters where you can read everything you need to know about it.
We also had the audioguide for the visit and we sometimes found the information it had given us too exhausting. Otherwise a cool visit for around 70+ minutes for anyone interested in the history of corrida.
Jan Zarecky — Google review
This is such a historic and significant monument to the Spanish culture of bullfighting. There are a number of reasons the tradition and culture of bullfighting play a role in the Andalusian region of Spains identity. The people of this region feel it would be a huge loss to ban something that has shaped their lives, family history, and culture over the past centuries. I was honored to spend time learning more about the history and culture of this regions people!!
David Canonic — Google review
Obviously, a bullring is not a museum, - there is one within its confines- but visitors can walk about it as if it were. Here the most beautiful and glorious pages of the world of bullfighting have been written. Opened to the public in 1785, it is one of the oldest and most beautiful in Spain. Truly worthy of a visit, even for those who are not lovers of the ring.
Josu Camacho — Google review
The bullring admission allows you to tour different sections of the buildings including the riding school and bullring. There is also a small muesuem describing the history of the bullring and Ronda. The admission price is around 8 euros and it is probably the best attraction in Ronda other than hiking near the bridge. Would recommend visiting if you are in Ronda for multiple days

The Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda is one of the oldest and most famous bullrings in Spain. It was built in the 18th century and is located in the heart of the city of Ronda, overlooking the Tajo Gorge. The bullring is a popular tourist destination and is home to a variety of events, including bullfights, concerts, and festivals.
The bullring is a large, circular structure with a diameter of 66 meters. It is surrounded by a passage formed by two rings of stone. There are two layers of seating, each with five raised rows and 136 pillars that make up 68 arches. The Royal Box has a sloping roof covered in Arabic tiles.
The bullring is a beautiful and historic building. It is a must-see for any visitor to Ronda. The bullring is also a great place to experience Spanish culture and tradition.
Madonna also filmed her music video for Take a Bow here.
Jay Tatlock — Google review
The bullring itself is a stunning work of art, with it's intricate details and impressive design. It's not just a venue for bullfighting , it's a living testament to the cultural heritage of Sevilla.
Take the guided tour to have a fascinating glimpse into the world of bullfighting and the significance of this arena in Spanish history.
I highly recommend taking time to explore this iconic landmark and learn about it's role in shaping Spanish traditions.An experience you will not forget.

Visited a couple weeks ago when visiting Spain and Ronda. Was a lovely museum. A lot of interesting information about the history of Bull fighting in Ronda. Value for price perhaps was a bit expensive. I’d pay 5 euro for it to be “perfect” pricing. But yeah if in Ronda 100% worth a visit.

Great Museum. Its crazy to Imagine what people did Back in the day. Does a great Job at delivering information about old Times. You can Go around pretty freely, there arent many restrictions. A Bit pricey imo, 9€ is alright but as the Tour ist pretty short, the price could be adjusted.
Would recommend having a Look though. I mean when you're Up Here you're probably Here to See this anyway :)

Plaza de Toros de Ronda is a bullring in Ronda. It is the first bullring in Spain. It's not a very tall building on the outside and you don't feel like you're going to see anything special. That's why everything surprises you and you have something to see.

A very nice presentation of the arena and the history of bullfighting. We took the audio guide and we didn't regret it, at least they tell you a lot about each thing that is marked. If you are in Ronda, I definitely recommend a visit.

Ronda Old Town, also known as Eagles Nest, sits high in the rocky mountains and has a rich history of being strategically defended by its original settlers. The city was originally named Arunda by the Celts and has been conquered by various civilizations including the Romans, Moors, and Spanish. This ancient town is steeped in history with emblematic monuments making it an essential stop when visiting Andalusian lands.
(Translated by Google) A charming town with wonderful views, very clean, well cared for and the treatment of people in friendly hospitality.

The Centro de Interpretación del Puente Nuevo is a museum in Ronda, Spain, that offers visitors a view of the stupendous bridge over a 120-meter chasm. The views from the centre of the bridge are some of the best in southern Spain and can be seen in any direction. The bridge was built in 1759 and completed 34 years later.
Ronda is an absolutely beautiful place, its a must see if and when you visit Spain.
The bridge and the bullring were the main highlight of the town.
The sun was shining with a some wind, make sure you take a jacket or a hoodie. Overall the experience was amazing... its definitely one of the best towns to take great photos...

Beautiful bridge. When we were it was very windy. There is a small place to visit on one side, for a small fee (2.5 euro) you can go a little bit under the bridge, but not all the way down, not worth it. On the other side a little bit further you can climb all the way down after paying 5 euro entry per person. This is a must see though.
Pozsonyi Zoltán — Google review
Save yourself €2.5 and don’t go into the bridge. We thought we’d see something nice we wouldn’t be able to see from the outside, it’s extremely disappointing. Stick to views from the outside. The museum is an exposition in a single room inside the bridge, some of the screens did not even work and the resolution of the other screens were really bad (or that of the slide shows). The views of the bridge are not at all better than where you can just get them for free. I would avoid this ‘museum’, maybe €1 is more fair for what you get. This was the only thing on our whole trip in Andalucia we felt we overpaid for, and that says a lot considering it was only €2.5 per person! See pictures below of what to expect if you do decide to pay €2.5… Not worth it. Many of the reviews are of the bridge itself which is gorgeous and can be seen for free. Yet the museum is to go INSIDE, which is what my review is about.
J. M. Posma — Google review
What a beautiful place to visit. Small town, 1.5 hrs away from Málaga, definitely a day trip there. I went there because Warrior Nun was filmed there and I was on my way to Seville. The bridge will take your breath away. Parking is hard to find and some restaurants and stores won't open until 11 am. If you driving a minivan (furgoneta) parking is a challenge, parking is designed for small cars and maybe some minivans but good luck getting into a parking garage. I had the best 20 min of my life visiting the bridge, we stopped there to grab breakfast.

This bridge and the older one to the east are the only places where the southern part of the city is connected to the northern part. These bridges cross the gorge created by the Guadalevin giving the impression that the plateau has been hacked in two. The view from the bridge is really amazing and for a good photo opportunity, you can walk down to the bootom of the gorge and make pictures of the bridge as a whole.

This place is a definite must see if you're in the southern coast of Spain. The view from and around the bridge is just stunning. There are no admission fees, but if you want to visit the lower levels of the bridge, there is a small fee.
Be aware to get here, the road can be steep, winding, and narrow. It can be a bit challenging, especially traveling at night. Located in the town of Ronda, there are plenty of restaurants in the town to try out. Numerous gift shops are also present for your wants.
Pyro Cinical — Google review
Super cool and unique bridge with great views of the gorges. However, the information booth that says 'entrance to Puente Nuevo' is a scam (in my opinion) if you are attempting to walk down the path of the bridge. The tickets only access into a small museum that honestly does not provide too much info. It kind of felt like a scam to get €2.50. But in order to access the pathway down to see the bridge, you have to go to the old town side of the bridge, and it'll be the first right after the bridge. You'll see a restaurant right in front of the beginning pathway. Be mindful that it is steep bothways, up&down. And there are mini hikes off the main pathway that offer different views of the cascade. Saw some people canyoneering!
Anelle Iapalucci — Google review
Friendly guy takes your money. Steep steps down to viewpoints of the gorge. Steps up to a room within the bridge where there are video presentations about the bridge and Ronda. Worth the effort? Well maybe. It could be a lot better. How about relating some of the history of the bridge as a prison for example?
El Tajo de Ronda is a deep, dramatic gorge dividing the city, with a bridge joining the 2 sides & a viewing platform. Down below you will enjoy amazing views of the Puente Nuevo bridge from beneath, and the people looking back down on you from above.

You probably won't come to Ronda and not see this feat of engineering. For 2.50e you can go inside to a little museum, which is worth it in my opinion
The Baños Árabes Yacimiento Arqueológico is an archaeological museum located in the city of Ronda, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. The museum contains sections dedicated to the 13th- to 15th-century thermal baths known as "Los Banos Arabes", as well as portions of the water system from this era.
Really enjoyed the visit, especially to inhabit the space itself which is quite interesting. The video for the presentation works really well to understand it. Recommend it.

Be prepared for some walking to get here. Not so much in distance but up some steep hills. However, once there you'll find one of the best intact examples of these types of baths.

Sizable baths look like built yesterday and if the ceramic tiles have not been stolen they can be used today. Water supply and distribution , heating and sewage systems of great performance, design and high skill people who built it on a very high above sea level town. The Arabs have to revisit their history and see what happened to them since then they walk backwards

OK for a quick visit. It’s way at the bottom of the hill and it’s a long walk back to the top. If you are tired after a long day exploring Ronda you can safely give this place a miss. But otherwise it’s OK for a quick tour of say 30 minutes.

The Collegiate Church of Our Lady of the Assumption is a stunning Renaissance structure that overlooks the town of Osuna. It comprises two churches above a crypt and houses a remarkable collection of baroque art, including works by renowned artists such as Jose de Ribera and Juan de Mesa. Visitors can explore the grand underground sepulchre, originally built in 1548 as the family vault for the Dukes of Osuna, through Spanish-language guided tours.

This charming lodging known as Hospedería del Monasterio is situated within a 16th-century university, boasting an outdoor pool and a delightful cocktail bar. Its location atop a hill offers captivating views of Osuna, an ancient town steeped in history. With the renowned University and Collegiate church majestically positioned at its pinnacle, the scenery is truly breathtaking. This adjacent accommodation provides a pleasant retreat after a lengthy journey, with its close proximity to the university buildings.
Stayed 4 nights in this hotel. Right in the highest point of Osuna town, conveniently situated within meters distance of Colegiata and Old University. Large parking space just outside the University and short walk down the hill to the center of town and historic sites. The gentleman in the reception was very helpful. Rooms are good size and large bathrooms. We had a room with lovely terrace overlooking the pool. Loved our stay.

What a find, a great location on the top of the hill overlooking Osuna. This age old town just dripping in history. The beautiful University and the Collegiate church, proudly perched at the top of the hill, overlooking the town - just stunning. Staying in this adjacent Hospedería del Monesterio - nestled alongside the university buildings, was a welcome treat, after a long drive.
We arrived late in the day and was warmly greeted.
A great setting for sure.
The town also used for some of the Game of Thrones filming in the bullring. A short overnight trip for us, so needless to say a place to return to at a later date.

nice hotel, shame about the situation of the room, outside door entry, and you ca n here everything through the walls. There were VERY noisy parties that were held there whilst we had a one night stay (Saturday). If we knew that before arri ing we would have found somewhere else. We could not eat there, too busy, a drink at the bar was not the best of experiences, had to walk to the centre to find a cafe/bar, very nice. After a very long drive from France, we were looking for a quiet night sleep. FINALLY, 3 o clock i the morning it went quiet.....
The breakfast was good, freshly cooked by a very friendly staff member.
Parking is an issue if there a lots of people staying, be warned. Do not stay at hotels on a weekend in December....nor Easter.

Beautiful castle with nice views around. There was some construction equipment around the area but it didn't hinder the visit.
We arrived when the museum was not working, which meant that we couldn't drive up to the castle. You'll be able to find parking on the street and walk up to the castle on foot. It's more fun like that anyways :)

Stunning views across to the lakes. Quite a steep walk but you can drive up and there is parking. You can explore the ruins and then sit on the benches and admire the stunning countryside.

Cool small castle with cool views from the top of the hill. If you have a lot of time, its very good place to visit and take some photos. There is a museum inside as well, but I havent visited it.

Lovely place to visit up in the hills above Málaga. Twinned with Melrose, it has historical connections with Scotland. Takes about an hour in the car from the city centre. Great views.

Once a huge castle, only the keep remains intact. There are plenty of stone bits to see the extent of the castle. The Keep is the museum. In the basement is a video on loop telling you about the history of the area and the Castle.
The upper two floors continue with more information. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. This was the frontline for the Holy Wars fought in Spain during medieval times.
Also the story of how the embalmed heart of Robert the Bruce came to be passing through here on its way to the Holy land (it didn’t make it as Douglas, the bearer, was killed in a skirmish nearby).

Very interesting old Moorish ruins. The view is great too.

What a little gem, came across this castle on our way to Malaga from Sevilla, you cannot miss it from the road
It looks like just another ruin from a distance
But inside is a great display of the history of knights, the crusades in the surrounding area all well presented in English and Spanish.
Well worth the 2€ ea.
