A beautiful place to visit as the views from here are absolutely superb. Full views of the coast line and the fabulous Mediterranean sea. Stay until sunset as the sun goes down over the Mediterranean, superb.

Fantastic views, there is a restaurant there and it costs €2.00 to go into the turret which includes a Fantastic virtual reality tour of the silver mine that is truly amazing, a must visit if you are in the area.

Beautiful! The views from the top our amazing. The added bonus of the virtual geo tour was super fun. The walk up the mountain to get to it was a workout but well with it. Had we only known we could have driven up there. I think San Juan de Los Terreros was one if my favorite towns. Will go back there to explore more.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
