Spectacular located on a hill at the top of the town that has the same name as the castle, Montánchez. It is worth going through its walls, all of which are straight.

Quite a tough climb towards the Cancho Blanco Radar Station from Zarza de Montánchez. Almost 7 km of ascent, the first 2 kilometers are quite bearable, then it becomes more difficult.
