December 23, 2025, Castillo de Montefrío

It stands atop a rocky outcrop overlooking the town of Montefrío (Granada, Andalusia). This Nasrid fortress was likely begun by Sultan Yusuf I in the 14th century (around 1352) to defend the northwestern border of the Kingdom of Granada. It consisted of two walled enclosures and several semicircular towers, with pathways carved into the rock and cisterns for water. Christian Conquest (1486): After falling to the Catholic Monarchs, a Gothic-Renaissance church was built within the upper enclosure, leveling the barbican. The church, known as the Church of the Town, was completed in 1507 and later expanded in the Renaissance style.

A tip: you should never go to the Castillo on Monday. Then it's closed 🥲 The 2 euro entrance fee should be worth it. The view is nothing to sneeze at either.

The Church of La Encarnación is one of the most prominent monuments in Montefrío, a town located in the region of Loja, in the province of Granada. This baroque-style church was built in the 18th century and stands out for its white stone façade, its spacious interior with three naves and its impressive main altarpiece made of carved and gilded wood. Furthermore, from its location on the hill, it offers spectacular views of the town and its surroundings.

Built in the mid-14th century, during the reign of Abu Abdallah Yusuf I, the castle is located on top of a spectacular rocky escarpment, in a strategic position that controls the valley of the Milanos River.

Located on the outskirts of town, the viewpoint offers a great view of Montefrío and its well-known rocky mountain where the impregnable castle from the Nasrid period stands.
