The castle has a quadrangular layout with high walls and towers at the corners. Although much of the outer wall and towers have suffered significant damage over time, some structures, such as the Pedriza tower and the Ermita tower, still stand.

Update after La Dana, the fountain is almost destroyed, but the water is still flowing, now at ground level (I put a photo).

A small additional, useful detail: this fountain has water all year round, even at the end of summer.

Great accommodation on the outskirts of Chera. We stayed there on our long-distance hike from Tarifa to Switzerland and can highly recommend the hostel and the friendly people.
