Castle of Arab construction, located near the Tavizna River on the road that goes from the forest to Ubrique. The path begins parallel to the Tavizna River and we must cross to the other bank and climb along a wire fence. The last stretch of your life to the castle is made of small, loose stone and is slippery.

Incredible route, somewhat hard for older people but the experience has been formidable

The views are more beautiful than what remains of the Castle, practically demolished. The ascent is a bit complicated and is not signposted. Good route for hiking but if you don't know it or don't have the Track on an app you may get lost, it is not signposted. It's worth getting to the top.

Nice views from the top but not really worth the trek in July. All the paths were over grown and the were all spikey bushes or thorns. We pushed through out of pure stubbornness.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
