    Vélez-Blanco Castle, located in the municipality of the same name in the province of Almería (Andalusia), is a jewel of the Spanish Renaissance that combines military and palatial elements.
    Construction began in 1506 by Pedro Fajardo y Chacón, the first Marquis of Vélez, on the remains of an ancient Islamic citadel.

    Hiking

    It is a castle which is unfortunately under construction but it is very cool. Also the surroundings of the castle are ideal for hiking and even for running.
