Wow, views to die for but one hell of a precarious climb to get there, not for the faint hearted!! €2 entrance fee very reasonable. Well worth the effort. Buy tickets in tourist information office.

The Castle of Jimena is a special stop for my family. I have lived in the region for many years and have enjoyed bringing visitors to this site. We enjoy driving to the parking area by the ancient church at the very top of town. From there it is only a few steps from the entry ramp, where history has played itself out with the first Iberians, Romans, Moors and Spaniards. A historian will note that much of historic Jimena was damaged during the great battles fought bravely against the French during the War of Independence two hundred years ago. My family enjoys the free entry to the castle, the beautiful panoramic views, and the hiking trails down to Ruta Vega de Hozgarganta and views of the ruins of the military munitions factory on the banks of the Hozgarganta River.

It is BEAUTIFUL. The route towards the castle, the castle itself, the streets inside, the view towards the dam, the gifts and souvenirs in the shops, the friendly people who work and live in the castle and surrounds... Loved it.

El paso de la historia de la dominación árabe a la reconquista cristiana y el resplandor renacentista se ejemplifica en Bornos en el Castillo-Palacio de los Ribera. La llegada de los musulmanes supuso la construcción de una fortificación en un lugar abundante en nacimientos de agua que daría nombre al Castillo de Fontanar. Los restos que se conservan de este antiguo castillo se reducen a algunos

This wonderfully preserved and taken care of Arab castle built by Christians in the XII century is a must for all those who loves pueblos blancos and it’s historical heritage. The entrance fee is just 2 euros and gives you access to the Castle itself that is really big and interesting and to the museum explaining the history and life of people in different centuries in the Castle. Dogs are allowed to join you !! :)The views are just spectacular. Don’t forget to visit neighboring village Setenil de las Bodegas famous for its dwellings built into rock !!

We stopped here on our way back to Seville. Amazing moorish castle that u can explore with incredible views of the “valley” and reservoir. Definitely worth a stop!!!

An extraordinary and mystical place for those with a visionary enough soul, as they will feel a soft resistance in the air.

Wonderful old fort/castle with tons of history. Apparently Magellan started his voyage from this place. Super high tower with great views and a small museum of sorts. Entry was 6 Euros per person and well worth the money. Allow around an hour and half for entire tour
