avatarChristine Smitha year agoWas a great visit to the oldest castle in Spain, there is a recording with English subtitles and all the information boards have English too. Quite a few steps up to the top of the tower, but worth it for the view.
avatarRafael Pereira Pacheco2 months agoBaños de la encina is a beautiful village located on top of a hill full of white houses, and on top of them the castle. A quite big castle and in good shape.
avatarKav7 years agoI'm sure it would have been a great place to visit but unfortunately it's closed on Tuesdays, don't understand why tourist attractions in most cities and countries aren't open 7 days a week, it just doesn't make sense in this day and age????????????
