    At the top of the Culebra hill is the Alange castle, a strategic fortress from the 9th century and the site of battles for Arabs and Christians.

    The Alange Castle, also known as the Culebra Castle, is a medieval fortress located in the municipality of Alange. It is located on the Cerro de la Culebra, 485 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views of the region.
    Built in the 9th century by the Moors on an old Roman fortress. It was conquered by the Christians in the 13th century and used until the 16th century.
    The castle is a fascinating place to explore history and enjoy nature.

    There are only remains of the castle left, but the view up here is fantastic.
