Altafulla Castle was first documented in 1059. The current building, dating primarily from the 17th century, adjoins the walls of Vila Closa and has an irregular floor plan. The crenellated parapet gives it the appearance of a fortress. The predominant Renaissance style is clearly evident in the doors and windows. During the First Carlist War, it served as barracks for the Altafulla militia, and during the Civil War (1936–1939), it housed troops and militiamen. It is privately owned and not open to the public.

Be careful, if you take the ramp directly from La Mora at the roundabout, you'll be pushing your bike! This is a steep hiking trail and not suitable for mountain bikers.

You're absolutely right. I did the route about five months ago, and it's nothing like how it was. It's better than better…

With the rains this March, the level recovered a little, thank goodness... but this whole area is still in dire need of water.
