Remember when we went to the castle, in Spain? I was a little amused by the sign. It had an English translation, alongside the Spanish. Most of it was pretty good...
Brief historical overview
This Castle of Muslim origin, which makes use of the previous foundations.
This fortess owes its origin to the strategic geographic location where it is situated, the so-called Moorish Strip, which was the frontier with the Kingdom of Granada, and its name, which according to tradition, the wild boards from the nearby forest sharpened their fangs on the rocky surface on which it is erected.
This fortress possesses an enclosure built to protect the water well which existed at the time, the most important spring water source (Source of the Aguzaderas) in all of the countryside, which justifies the location of the castle on flat terrain instead of elevated, so it could be easily defended.
Elements that make up what
This fortress has an enclosure which forms a quadrangle, with four turrets, one in each corner and two semicircles in the middle of two of its walls apart from an imposing keep with two spacious rooms. We can see that some of its walls are over three meters thick.
Legends: The shadow of the warrior.
These stories are told and dramatic; it is said that in this castle the shadow of a warrior can be seen making the rounds along the parapet eternally awaiting the return of a lost love forever.
