Castles in Spain

One of the best things about being in Gibraltar is that you are so close to Spain. Spain certainly offers huge potential for discovery. It has vast space and after living in Gibraltar for a year you'll understand why space suddenly becomes such a priority. We recently visited a beautiful castle in the mountains called Castellar De La Frontera. We went on a Monday and there were only one or two tourists. The views from the castle are breathtaking and overlook the beautiful lake. The narrow cobbled paths and the tropical colourings of the flowers really give it a sesnse of history. There's a whole village inside the castle, with shops, houses, restaurants. Apparently you can't go in the castle but you can stay there. they've turned it into a hotel and you can stay there. Now thats what I call romantic Romeo! http://www.tugasa.com/castellar.htm
