Castellar de la Frontera

Overview

Castellar de la Frontera is perched on top of a hill with commanding views to the lake below and across to the coast of Africa.  It has a very bohemian and artistic atmosphere to it and is certainly one of the most surreal places in this part of Spain.

There are a couple of bars in the castle and also a hotel and gallery.  The actual castle building has been fully restored and is planned to become a 'parador' style hotel.  The former Spanish leader has a house here as well as other inhabitants of mixed nationalities.

Its definitely a place worth visiting...!
