Om
Raske fakta: Perched dramatically on a rocky headland, the castle offers panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea stretching for miles. Its walls once housed the Knights Templar, adding layers of legendary intrigue to the site.
Høydepunkter: A spectacular feature lies in the castle's maze-like corridors and ancient battlements that you can explore amidst the sound of waves crashing below. The sunlight filtering through narrow slit windows creates a magical play of shadow and light along the stone walls, enhancing the ancient atmosphere.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as the uneven stone surfaces demand steady footing.
- Head to the eastern battlements for the most stunning sunrise photo opportunities.
- Avoid weekends and Spanish public holidays to escape larger tourist groups.
- Don't miss the small chapel inside, often skipped by quick visitors but rich in history.
