The Castillo de Salobreña stands majestically on the rock overlooking the white town and the Mediterranean. A Nasrid fortress, residence of sultans and watchtower of the Costa Tropical, it offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views of Granada, where the blue of the sea meets the peaks of Sierra Nevada.

In one of the wonderfully told stories about the two protagonists “Don Camillo and Peppone,” conceived by the Italian writer Giovanni Guareschi, it is also about the Mother of God, Mary. Peppone's youngest son is very seriously ill, and so one evening the communist mayor sets off for the church with five large candles. Don Camillo intends to place them in front of the crucifix on the high altar, but Peppone has objections and wants the candles placed at the Chapel of Mary: “That one belongs to your party. Light them in front of that one there, which doesn’t engage in politics.” After he has left, Don Camillo – who, as always, converses with the crucified Christ – implores him, “not to be hard on him.” The dialogue continues: “And why should I be?” whispered Christ. “By honoring my Mother, he fills my heart with gentleness. I only dislike a little that he called her ‘that one there’.” Don Camillo shook his head. “You heard incorrectly,” he objected. “He said: ‘Light them all in front of the Holy Virgin in that chapel there’.” (Giovanni Guareschi in “Fünf und fünf”)

In the diary of his pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, published later, the German entertainer Hape (Hans-Peter) Kerkeling also writes about the meditative experience of praying the Rosary together, which he personally experienced in the "grandiose village church that has what it takes to be a cathedral" in Castildelgado (Castile). Under the date of June 21, 2001, he notes: "I really have to see the only sight in the village! (...) The more pleased she is that I want to see the jewel of Castildelgado, the more she accompanies me into the interior. Our sightseeing tour is quickly over in front of the altar, and so the woman asks me to take a seat on one of the wonderfully cool church pews. Gradually, more [people] enter... the church. The older lady begins to pray the Rosary. The monotonous chanting has a calming effect, and the constantly repeating lament gives strength, security, and makes one peaceful! So, after I can say the words along, I join in the mantra..." (Hape Kerkeling in "Ich bin dann mal weg. Meine Reise auf dem Jakobsweg")

One of the park's attractions is its succulent and cactus museum, which houses more than 200 different species. Succulents are plants that have the ability to store water in their leaves, stems or roots, which allows them to survive in dry or arid climates.In the museum you will see specimens of different sizes, shapes and colors, each with its explanatory panel, and admire the beauty and diversity of these very special and curious plants.

Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Head is truly the jewel in the crown. What a delight to admire the art work of this sacred place and then walk the grounds of the beautiful park surrounding
