Jimena de la Frontera

Overview

Jimena de la Frontera is a steep, open, and more pleasant town than Castellar de la Frontera. It is straggling on a hill to meet a fantastic Moorish castle. On the drive into town, on Avenida de los Deportes, the Restarante-Bar Cuenca has delicious tapas. It�s possible to drive almost to the top to the castle, although it�s quite a tight squeeze and very steep. The view from the Moorish castle is marvelous, and, if you think ahead and stop by a supermarket, it�s a nice place to picnic.

The station is about two kilometres below the town and there are some very cheap[and acceptable]places to stay near it.
