Tips from the Community
The starting point of the GR-238 trail in El Rebollar is located next to an information sign that clearly marks the beginning of the route, accompanied by benches for resting and a fountain, creating a small space designed for hikers to prepare, consult information about the Route and refresh themselves before venturing along the path that continues between vineyards and hills typical of the region.

This area marks the end of the hill and the beginning of more fertile land, dominated by vineyards and other crops where farmers from Requena and its surroundings work the land and give life to a lively and productive rural landscape typical of the Utiel-Requena wine region.

Requena was considered a "frontier square" between the Muslim kingdom of Valencia and the kingdom of Castile, from almost the end of the twelfth century.

The location of the city of Requena in an area provided with numerous springs and fountains has had great strategic importance in the permanent settlement and urban development of the city. Since ancient times, Requena has been surrounded by vegetable gardens and a system of ditches that moved mills and ran through the interior of the urban center, being common since the events of the s. XVI until those of the XX in which the necessary cleaning of the drains by the neighbors is insisted upon. These urban drains were the cause of countless problems and, at times, disease-spreading agents. Until 1953, the urban fountains and fountains were used by the neighborhood for their usual uses of water supply and not with an aesthetic sense. Many houses up to that time were also supplied from the wells of the houses themselves which could be of fresh or salt water.

The castle is located on the highest hill of the city, in a strategic point. Of Muslim origin, it was built during the 15th century and only the Torre del Homenaje remains standing of the original building.

The castle stands on a promontory overlooking the town and is built on a large rock. Today only the keep remains, which is part of the original Muslim fortress, built in ashlar and mortar, until it was replaced by the current one in 1423 (source: https://castillosdelolvido.com/castillo-de-requena /).
