This is a castle that satisfies our childhood imagination and our adult desire to visit a a historical castle and marvel at humans ability to build and learn how important location is to a castle for protection and defense. The views of the surrounding area are incredible. A must visit.

Wonderful views from a castle steeped in Spanish history. Long walk up steep road to access, but plenty of parking if driving at the top. €6.20 ticket for adult guided tour and entry to the wine museum.

On one hand they offered us a guided tour in English but the person did only in Spanish when he realized we translated ourselves. Even if that could be a negative point, the guide was attentive and approach to us later to apologize and ask for any questions. On the other the castle has charming but the wine museum fills a gap that gives me a confronted sensation between the missing conceptual view and the recreational offer. All together, the price of the ticket is good, be ready to climb stairs and try to be early to get the best spots to park.
