Enjoy the old town on foot. The occasional car passes by, but not infrequently. We went to the castle, which requires a ticket.

Castril Castle is a masterful example of the architecture of the frontier castles during the Islamic era in Spain. Its strategic location in La Peña highlights the influence of topography on the choice of sites. The castle's structures, such as towers, walls and gates, were precisely adapted to the rocks, slopes and promontories of the surrounding terrain. In fact, the connection between the castle and nature is so impressive that it seems as if nature itself had forged the fortress, creating a harmonious fusion between the work of man and the natural environment.

Castril is a beautiful historic village tucked away high at the end of a ravine. At the bottom of the ravine and below the village flows the Rio Castril, a river in a lower gorge with a walking path along it. Characteristic is the castle on the rock and the many flowers that adorn the village. Also a nice village to eat or drink in one of the many bars.

Spectacular fortress of medieval origin, located in the town of Orce. The construction is from the Nasrid period, when the town was an important point in the defense of the Kingdom of Granada. The building is made up of a parade ground surrounded by a wall with seven towers.
