After Benalí, the Río Grande trail begins. It's surrounded by nature at an altitude of 800 meters. A great spot to enjoy the views from this height.

Beautiful facility. We stayed there on our long-distance hike from Tarifa to Switzerland and can highly recommend the accommodation and the excellent cuisine.

The castle can be considered of Muslim origin, possibly built between the 11th and 12th centuries.

Different sections of walls can be seen that delimit a double enclosure. The lower one, with an irregular polygonal plan, preserves numerous Islamic remains and forms an antewall at the foot of the main castle. Most of the lower enclosure adapts to the terrain, and you can still see some rectangular towers, which are quite damaged, as well as some previous lower defense, even more damaged. The main enclosure is almost rectangular and is located at the top of the mountain, presenting remains of walls and angular towers, which appear to date from the Christian era, manufactured in lime and stone, highlighting to the south an advanced tower with arrow slits. In this area there is a bastion with two towers. In the center of this high enclosure, there are the remains of a large tower.
